He started as a joke. His brother was working for a large corporation in San Jose California back in 1984. The night watchmen were having a problem with the lights repeatedly coming on in one building of the company. When the watchmen went to turn out the lights, they would also find all the doors unlocked. They proceeded to turn off the lights and lock the doors. When they checked the next hour, they would find all the lights on and the doors unlocked. Michael’s brother jokingly asked Michael to go and take pictures of the perpetrators since he had a Master’s in photography. The afternoon before Michael went to photograph the building, he was wandering around a book store. When he walked down the photography section, a book fell off of the shelf in front of him. Picking up the book, Michael was awed to read the title of, “Photography the Spirit World.” He went straight up to the register to buy the book. The person behind the counter asked him where he found that book. She had never seen it before. After some research, they discovered that the book had been out of print for over 10 years. At this point the whole process ceased to be a joke. That night, Michael was able to photograph several paranormal activities within that particular building. He went back several nights later and cleared the building. |
