Sender's Comments:

I live in Peshawbestown Michigan on the reservation. Our land is deep in traditions of our people. The land our homes are on is land that our people had lived on and died on for many years. There have been graves found in the yards of many homes since this was the way to bury your loved ones, there was no cemetery. I got up early one morning around 6am, I decided to go out in the back yard and snap some pictures of the frame of the sweat lodge we have and when I put the pictures on the computer I saw this one with the very distinct faces in it.

We believe the spirits in the photo were here to see the lodge and to protect us. There have been many sightings in this area. I hope to be capturing more of them. On New Year's Eve my husband took the video camera outside and filmed some when we got back in the house and watched the film we were surprised to see more spirits walking through our front yard. This is a very interesting place to be.

Craig's Verdict:

Initially I commented here that this was probably nonsense as the Indians were a nomadic people did not have graveyards. But I stand corrected.

The sender was good enough to provide further detail writing: "Our spirits are everywhere here on this reservation, since our own relations have been buried on this land, which is not a graveyard. Within the native community, many years ago, they buried their relatives in the yards of their homes.

We now have cemeteries and you can experience the same things there as you do in the yards of some of these homes." Elsewhere in her email the sender says: "We as native Americans are deep into our traditions and culture. I have shown this photograph to many spiritual leaders of other tribes and they all say the same thing that the spirits we photographed are the 'real thing'.

It would be particularity interesting to see the video clips and hopefully the sender will supply some more photos in due course.
