The Haunting in Downtown

I was going through some photos this morning of the night we met our friends the Wileys for Pho at Rice King Noodle downtown. We had a giant soups of broth and Rice King's tremendous egg rolls. While dining, we were joined by Provo's elite hipster crowd belonging to Richard Greogry of Provo Town Square and friends (you know you're at a good place when you see Mr. Gregory).

The Pho was warm and we lapped it up.

 



After dinner we took a stroll a couple doors down to view the storefront of Provo's favorite Halloween stop Taylor Made. It was a cool October evening and we enjoyed ourselves in the fresh air and lazy leaves.




As I was remembering that lovely evening this morning, I started to see an alarming trend. There were lights in these photos, floating, glowing, weird lights that did not belong.

Exhibit A (run Huck run!):


Exhibit B (the ghost of Audrey, maybe?):


Exhibit C (glowing red eyes chasing my son?):
 

Exhibit D (following us back to our cars):


I don't know what was going on exactly, but maybe this guy at Taylor Made had something to do with it?


Anyway,




I am Courtney Kendrick and if you go trick-or-treating downtown on Saturday night, beware!

I am seriously loving your spooky stories.

This happens with lenses sometimes; UV filters can give off the same effect. That's what I would put this down to - the piano in the middle of the night though? Spooky!

Taylor Made...hahahaha. When I was little (read: ages 1-12) I couldn't go by the Taylor Made at University Mall without some type of distraction to keep me from freaking the heezy out. Who combines fingernail polish and salon quality hair care products with melting face masks and creepy wigs? Really?!? Shudder.

you can see in all the pics but one that they are copies of lights that appear elsewhere in the picture so yeah but SPOOKY tho!

sorry to burst your bubble... in most of the pictures there is a brighter light that it seems the little light is a copy of. the light store sign by aubree is a square as is the "ghost" in lesser light. The eyes following the Chief? Look at the 2 red traffic lights higher in the picture plain. Then the two smaller white"ghosts" well, two street lights. The others must be reflections. I have gotten little orbs of light from I don't know where in my pictures...then I recalled that when they do those supernatural tv shows they said that those orbs are actually ghosts! I'd like to think it was just the UV filter!

You need to compile all your spooky stories into one volume. They are my fave. Love a good bowl on Pho, and walking around in downtown Provo at night. So charming.

Just a thought... said...

The ones that aren't easily explained by reflections of light are probably just bugs flying by. At least that's how "Ghost Hunters" usually explains it! Happy Halloween.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!

Let's not get crazy here.

UV filters? Bugs? Copies of light???

Crazy talk!!!

Probably still thinking the earth is round? Or the Loch Ness Monster is some kind of gas bubble. Or...or driftwood!?

C'mon people. Question, explore, but let's not throw reason out the window!

Cjane, you need to know that -even in the face of such adversity, such doubt, such calling into question of your character- I stand with you.

Firm, sure in the knowledge that you would never write anything with your tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Devotedly,
Captain Obvious

Thanks for posting pictures of my niece and nephews. What a special Halloween treat! And that light, that was your special Halloween trick! Get it? Trick and treat! I know, now you wish I was at Pho with you too, being that I'm so clever and all. Send my love to my sister the next time you see her.
