...a thousand words: Spiritography and the Book of Portraits - Hardcover

by James DeCaro (Author), Raymond A. Jr. Moody (Foreword by)

"I was stunned. I knew he got me. I had no doubt this was a real spirit ...and you only see them when you die."

I'll get straight to the point. Several years ago, I experimented with nighttime photography. During that time, and on numerous occasions, obtaining positive results. To be precise, I could shoot ghosts. It's funny how that sounds, until you actually consider what that means.

My efforts in spirit photography were conducted in an attempt to witness and record authentic supernatural occurrences. I call it Spiritography. The clearest definition is to say they are illusions derived from photographs of spirit occurrences.

This first edition of ...a thousand words is fair expression of supernatural phenomena. The photographs and images contained in this body of work are reflections of that phenomena.

I base my opinions on my observations, my recorded data, and an abstract sense of logic and reason. I have included within a substantial, uncorrupted, and righteous collection of original photographs that will not only dismay many but will haunt you as well.

Interpretations such as this one are to be expected. Trying to establish an empirical explanation for the occurrences may prove difficult ...many anomalous experiences often remain unexplained. On the other hand, I was there, and I saw it happen. Better still, I took photographs, so you could see it too, and though I may be misguided, I'm not deceitful. Don't take my word for it, see it for yourself.

Supernaturalism is not magic, it says so right in the name; "natural" ...and I agree. However, super-nature and the effects surrounding it, including anomalous apparitions, may appear to some as being magical... I can assure you it's not the case.

Portraits are supernatural illusions. It's the closest thing to magic I ever saw.

The anomalies captured in the photographs reveal a useful mechanism of natural deception. The alleged entity is hiding in plain sight. Sadly, there is no way for me to prove this is a naturally occurring phenomenon of super- nature, and that's why I call them illusions... supernatural illusions.

Let's discuss...
