Swirling Energy Vortex?

Paula wrote, "I was taking some photos of my house around 10 PM one night in September 2005 . It was a clear night. The photo was taken with a digital camera. This swirl was not seen through the viewfinder, and I don't know what this is. We have a lot of activity in our house which was built in the 1960's. Strange things have always happened here. We believe that a Georgian farm house once stood on the land. We hear footsteps along the landing upstairs and doors opening on their own. We also hear as if somebody has just come down the stairs, but there is no one there. We smell pipe tobacco sometimes and a strong fragrance of flowers sometimes. Things go missing and turn up in different places. Our dog, a Jack Russell terrier, snarls at nothing. His hackles stand up, and he goes mad. At other times, he cowers and hides, panting, and seems scared of something. At times, he won't go into the garden at night. We have a lot of photos with orbs which look really bright like a light bulb. Once something was behind the bed. I was so scared to look, but the bed went down as if someone had sat on it. Then I felt a warming on my back that came gradually and also went away gradually. All sorts of thing happen here."

MMSGH Comments
We have never seen a photo quite like this one! It appears to be a bright streaking energy sphere (or two) caught in some sort of swirling vortex. Some of this effect might be caused by slow shutter speed or camera movement, but Paula sent other photos to us which seem to confirm the likelihood that this is some form of paranormal spirit energy. We will post her other photos in the future.

What do you see? We'd like to know. Email us with your comments.
