southeastern Ohio-The Hocking Hills The Legends: Shawnee paddleboat robbers are said to have been hung here. William Conkle is said to still watch over his hollow. Investigation: Legends and journal records.
Types of Equipment Used: Types of Evidence Found:
Orbs are thought to be energy occurring and
are said to appear like a cottonball with a small tail flitting across a
picture and some of which could be paranormal activity. However, when
the flash from a camera hits a bug or dust, it can bounce off the particles making
it appear like an orb to the viewer.
Tabby sent this in from the Haunted Hocking - Conkle's Hollow at Horse Head
Grotto. Note the orbs and strange swirls of fog above the crowd. At the
time, the girl on the left is using dousing rods. One of the team noticed
faces in the swirls...
This picture was submitted by
Denny and Brenda Saunders, taken 1/22/06 , 2:54 pm, at the Horse Head
Grotto. We have actually seen several
pictures at Horse Head Grotto with the same foggy haze hovering over a
person in the picture. We tried to debunk the haze as nothing more than dust
rising in the air and shimmering off rays of light. We tried shuffling
around the dusty floor of the recess cave during daylight and darkness.
We also thought it might be heat rising from folks' bodies or even the
breath of the picture taker hovering near the lens. However, we could not
emulate any of these speculations. There have been several deaths in
this particular area due to falls from the cliff edges.
Investigation
included exploring the recess cave and area around it.
Orbs
were
photographed and sent in from one of the guest investigators in the recess cave
itself.
