The Ghostly Portal Archives

Above are the albums in our archives, you are welcome to browse through them or add content of your own. When adding large video files (above 1000MB), it is recomended that you consider converting to .flv before uploading as the current upload limit per file is 1000MB(1024000KB). Enjoy the archives and remember when creating your own albums, you are not limited to just paranormal stuff.  

• You may also create albums of your own with the option of making them public or private (with password).
• Upload anything you like into your albums including your favorite music, videos, pictures and documents (doc/txt/rtf/pdf/xls/pps/ppt/zip/gz/mdb). *please refrain from adult (x-rated) material.
• When uploading paranormal evidence or potential evidence make sure to tag it correctly (i.e. location, individuals present, control shot, date & time etc.) and put it in the correct album.
• We recommend using JUpload when uploading multiple files and movies as it saves alot of time and allows for creating your album quickly. Just click the JUpload button (top of page), choose category, album name and start uploading!
• Keep in mind that the copy bbcode function(makes clickable thumbnails in posts on forum boards to full size images) below the files only works with images and not with video or audio. It is not embed code, Links to the video and audio files will have to be posted in the normal manner by means of copying and pasting the  url of the file.
• Filling out all the fields in the file description is NOT required, they are there in the capacity of helping members of investigation teams identify files more easily. Using keywords may also aid in this endeavor.

 Be creative and enjoy our archives, if you have any suggestions or questions feel free to post them in our forums here: www.ghostlyportal.com/ghostlyvortex or use the "forum" button at the top of the page.

 Welcome to The Ghostly Portal Archives! We use these archives for uploading evidence for review in order to better debunk or validate evidence, the more eyes and ears the better! I'm sure many of you have seen the kinds of stuff floating around the web that makes you wonder if the field of paranormal research and investigation will ever be taken seriously.

Below is an article we wrote that may help:

 As paranormal investigators we capture alot of photos, video, audio and readings from our equipment when initiating our protocol in the field, we then go over all of it (which could take hours or days). When looking at all the evidence we have to remain "on the fence". What is meant by "on the fence" is that on one side we can't say that everything is paranormal when it may have a normal explanation as it will be scrutinized when it is presented (We all run into this, folks' want us to "prove it"). On the other side of the fence, we can't say that everything has a normal explanation as we may miss something of value for paranormal research and analysis, which is what generaly fuels our passion for the field of paranormal research and investigation (this is also what keeps our eyes open through many long hours of review).

We Have To Be Careful

 The media, which includes T.V., the internet, radio broadcasts etc. is often used to post our findings (should they be released). Generaly, when we post finding we're looking for more insight (the more eyes and ears the better, none of us can know everything) as to the validity of those findings and more possible explanations. Here is where healthy scepticism really becomes important, many folks' will want the burden of proof (which we can't blame them with all the "questionable" stuff they see), credibility and the validity of our claims. When we browse the internet (which is the media we often use) we run into various websites with "evidence" of the paranormal that ends up with a normal explanation, thus being debunked. Not all of them have the intention of commiting fraud and will remove the evidence or announce that it has been debunked. We will also run into websites that will continue to post debunked, fabricated (alot of adobe software out there) and "fluffy stuff" with the intention of promoting fear or trying to draw attention to themselves as "experts" (or the only ones that do or have something). There is a large variety of websites, the point being made here is that a good paranormal investigator is faced with the task of maintaining credibility. We are responsible for everything we post as it may not only be a detriment to our own credibility, it may also affect the credibility in the field of paranormal research and investigation as a whole. Most teams will develop or addapt protocol in order to better preserve, isolate, present and back up etc. the evidence captured in the field which is very important for safety as well as maintaining credibility.

We hope you enjoy our archives, you may also create your own albums which can contain anything you like! Upload pictures, audio, movies or even documents. If you have any problems, contact us and we will do everything we can to help you.

When browsing through the files containing evidence, please don't hesitate to post your opinions. Your opinions matter as we may use them in finding alternate explanations, the debunking process or to help validate people's claims.
