About 1977 my friend Sam Carsley (1941-2013) went on a
mission with our new cameras, he bought a Nikon and I bought at Minolta
201. We went to Oakland Cemetery in
Atlanta. Our targets were the stain
glass windows in Crypts. We both grew up
reading the comicbook TALES FROM THE CRYPT and were still fans - so it fitted right in.
The stained glass windows of course is aimed inward. Just like church, the outside light
illuminates giving a beautiful picture to the resident inside. But since the residents in each crypt are
dead it is argumentative if anyone will
actually see the stain glass art. So,
wanting to make sure those beautiful stained glass windows was not a waste of
somebody's money we tried to help them out.
Above is an example of what we took.
When I took this picture I did not see the shapeless mass of
light. Only after it was developed was
it plainly something odd.
I jokingly put it on facebook suggesting it might be a
ghost.
