Hello Captain Burr. I’ve received a few comments about the small circular spots that appear in the photos. Nope, not ghosts or spirits. The camera captures the small particles of moisture in the air. It was pretty moist down there.

Thanks for your comment!

I visited Ft.Ontario in August of 2010 for a Rev-War re-enactment. If you view the fotos 4th and 5th UP from the bottom of the foto line, you will notice little Bubble like things.
I got the same things with my camera on several other shots as well, but specifically at the places these fotos show.
What do you think they are?
Spirits of 2 centuries of soldiers? hmmmmmm 1 can only wonder.

I have had these at other sites too….Spooky to say the least !

I have the rare distiction of having lived within the fort when I was a baby in the late 40s. Of course I remember nothing about the fort other than what my parents told me. My mother told me about the cemetary where there was a headstone of a young drummer boy. Mom always said how sad it was that he died so far away from home.

I attended a wedding, at the Fort, yesterday. What a beautiful setting. As the couple kissed, when pronounced husband and wife, a cannon went off. After the ceramony the wedding party went above and the groom was allowed to shoot off the cannon…Spectacular!!!! What a memory! So much history and so sad that this state park was almost closed due to our states financial status. This was my first visit and I’ll be sure to go back as a sightseeing visitor.

I dont know what to say but spectacular! it brings a tear to my eye. I have visited this place many times in my child hood as my family and I vacationed in fair haven beach state park every year from the time I was still in my mothers belly until about the age of 22yrs. Realy brings back some great memories thanks. ~Joseph

[...] as soon as possible. We actually did get to visit the lake once again, and the fort. Our visit to Fort Ontario is here, and our visit to the lake again during some blustery winter [...]
