These photos were taken in June 2004 by Brett Clark of Phenomena Productions, based in Asheville NC. According to Brett: "These were taken with a NIKON 5700 digital camera. When I got something odd on the display I immediately snapped more pictures in the same area and whatever was captured was no longer there. If you look at the pink orb (photo 2 and 3) you'll notice that it appears the orb is slowly lifting up. Who knows, but it is interesting."

Brett and I are attempting to organize a more formal investigation of the Cone Manor. I am an open-minded skeptic, and will need some convincing. I don't believe in ghosts, though I believe in the possibility of ghosts. For the record, a professional photographer friend of mine thinks these could be incidental lens flares made from using a flash.

Orbs are still a subject of debate among serious paranormal enthusiasts. For a more critical explanation of orb phenomena, visit the Toronto & Ontario Ghosts & Hauntings Research Society page.
