Unexplained light streak in photo
webassets/Strange.jpg

I have traveled many places and have had many strange experiences, this is just one of them. I was taking photos in a school that has been closed down. I took close to a hundred photos and when I loaded them on to my computer this one photo had a "light streak" in it? It was not caused by a camera strap, dust particles, scratch on the lense etc.. I even contacted the tech dept. of the camera company to see if this "light streak" might have been caused by a static electric discharge inside the camera itself. I was informed it was possible but highly unlikely. I went back a took another photo from the area and you can see! Even the shadow on the wall is gone. Paranormal? I don't know. But its an interesting photo just the same. This is a place that I will come back to and do a formal paranormal sweep.

thebluffcover1.jpg
Order below - Price $14.95 - plus S&H

Book lovers who have purchased an autograph copy of "The Bluff" stated that since there was only a limited number of these books printed that after they are sold out, the value of them will rise between 40 to 50 dollars because they are 1st editions! So they are making an investment in their future...

The Bluff

A ghost story by - Joseph Gunther
Illustrations by - Sue Sabiston

The Bluff is a 32 page fully illustrated Gothic horror story.  Based on a true story, this haunting tale will send shivers up and down the spine of most people, while others will be touched by the tragic events - perhaps even shedding a tear or two.  A great story with spectacular illustrations that can be enjoyed by young and old alike, especially 8 to 12 year old readers.  Also included in the "The Bluff" - is a 85 year old (true and tragic) family mystery that was finally solved.

 Arlene Spizman, owner of The Comic Shop says; "I was impressed when I saw the book. It's a beautifully illustrated story that fits right in with our graphic novels, children's books and comics. Telling a story through sequential art is obviously what comic books are all about and The Bluff does that in its own unique way!"

Bill Riley, the owner of"rivers end bookstore" in Oswego, NY say's: "The Bluff is timeless, it will always be enjoyed over and over again by people who read it!"

Note: Bill Riley choose to read "The Bluff", at the Minetto Elementary School in Oswego, NY the story captivated an audience of over 300 students, parents, and teachers.

"Nightfall"
by
Joseph Gunther 93'

Midnight wind is were I dwell,
With riders lost in a storms spell.
Trusting neither regions of the land,
While fires of night burn in their hands.
Groping, grasping, pleading voices,
Ask questions, but make different choices.
I alone remain vigilant within their presence,
with secrets revealed in all there essence,

(You will find the rest of the poem in my book, "The Bluff")

Note: Sue Sabiston is a water color artist who collaberated with me on the "The Bluff", which is a book, a ghost story I have written and published. Susan did all the illustrations for the book which took her over two-and-half years to complete. (Her gallery is located on the side bar of this website.)

More information about the "The Bluff" can be found lower down on this webpage.

To browse illustrations from "The Bluff" - or purchase prints - click on the "Sabiston Gallery" link at the top of this page.

This book is different from other illustrated children's books. There are ten illustrated water-color paintings between its covers. It took Susan Sabiston two-and-half years to do all of the water-color illustrations in this book. 

Which means (on average) it took Sue three months to complete one water-color painting for the book. So the book itself is a work of art!
Also there were only a limited number of these books printed so each one will become a collectors item increasing in value as time goes by!
