Hello hello my cherished readers! Sorry its been so long since I shared my last case report. Just been busy with life and doing research in general to make sure I've got my facts straight. Anywho, to anyone who is just joining us now here's a bit of a refresher. Last time I shared a case with you guys we were discussing Casper High's very first major ghost sighting of a huge monster made of meat! Feel free to check out the full details of the case by following the link down below!

The official second sighting looks like it might have been more of a one off thing along with the third but I decided to include them anyway since I feel like all of them are important if we want to get a better picture of just how haunted this town is. It happened to Mikey in the library. He went to use one of the computer's in the school library to work on an assignment and ran into someone he didn't realize at the time was a ghost who turned around and attacked him! Luckily Mikey wasn't hurt, just gagged and hung upside-down by some kind of energy net that vanished into thin air a few seconds later.

According to Mikey once he calmed down enough to remember exactly what the ghost said to him, he referred to himself as Skulker. This might only be a code name though so I'll have to look into this further for another article.

Moving onto the third ghost sighting at Casper High this one is pretty incredible if you as me! Why? Because it was the first close up sighting of Danny Phantom himself and an honest to goodness dragon! A ghost dragon! That can only mean one thing folks, dragons are real is now confirmed! I mean think about it. How could there be a ghost of a dragon if there was never a living one at some point flying around?

But moving on...

Before I dive into our next story I'd like to preface this by saying most of these are based entirely on witness accounts that vary a lot in levels of detail which is totally understandable when you think about it. It's kinda hard to pay attention to the specifics when you're running for your life from a huge gout of green flames from the maw of a ghost dragon! Moving onto the case report itself the first reported sighting of this dragon was apparently at the Amity Park Mall in the Abyss clothing store.

There was a sale on the entire discontinued line of Fleecy-T blouses and somehow or another a customer wound up possessed and transformed in front of the very eyes of the acting manager on call at the time. Paulina said she sorta remembers being there that day too but was too excited about managing to guy the very last shirt they had left in her size to really pay attention to what happened when she left the store.

The second sighting of the same dragon was on campus that night at Casper High where it destroyed the girls bathroom (although this wasn't discovered until later the next day by the janitor cleaning up the mess left by the first dance of the school year) then flew off to the football field where our next two witnesses, Dash and Tiffanie, saw Danny Phantom rescuing Paulina. My guess is he saved Paulina from the dragon at some point when the bathroom was wrecked which would explain why she was out cold at the time. The dragon was then defeated by our local ghost hero and the rest as they say is history! I also wonder how they replaced that whole row of bleachers...?

To end things off, I found out there was another ghost sighting the same night by Tucker Foley and the DJ in charge of the school dance's music. Tucker didn't tell me much apart from that he was really taken aback when this ghost girl just floated up to him, insisting on enjoying the last dance with him. As for the DJ, he noticed them while getting ready to pack up his gear once the last song finished and noticed the girl Tucker was dancing with looked out of place in her get-up, aka a medieval styled gown not to mention her feet were literally gliding across the dance floor. Well, assuming they had been ever touching the ground to begin with!

Tucker tells me she was surprisingly mellow and sweet but at the time his nerves were a bit frazzled from trying to help his best friend Danny Fenton keep his parents from getting too talkative about certain happenings at school. The rest of their little waltz is a bit of blur though so Tucker couldn't tell me any more than that. As for why Danny's parents were chaperoning the dance I'll leave that to your imagination since I doubt it's a very fond memory for the poor guy.

Working on a cute drawing of Iris with a camcorder/video camera! Hopefully it looks alright since I was struggling to find a reference of someone holding a handheld camcorder at the right angle.

Original:

Meet Iris Brooks…

Your new favorite Aries was born on March 25, 1994 and has been dancing ever since she could remember. Her mother would tell countless stories of how Iris would jump around in her belly whenever she would be in close proximity to music. It was as if Iris understood music before she was even placed in this world. Iris’s parents knew she had a gift ever since she was little so it was a no brainer that she would go on to join dance classes for all genres. Fifteen years of honing in on her craft landed her in the top dance school where she further studied her art. After graduating, working a nine to five while simultaneously auditioning, Iris worked her way up in the dance industry to now touring with some of the biggest artists in this day and age.

Relationships were never on the forefront of her mind until someone managed to slip through her cracks and open her up to what it’s like to be loved. Yet, it was a matter of ‘right person, wrong time’. Iris spent more time by herself, learning who she was and working at bettering herself in her field of work before meeting someone else that piqued her interest.

What could occur when Iris’s past and present meet unexpectedly?

Nice to meet you too Anon! To answer your first question about being a ghost researcher I guess you could say that since I'm a paranormal investigator! That means doing your research is a huge part of the job!

As for the second question, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that supposedly another name for the Wisconsin Ghost? According to my sources there have been a lot of sightings of him here in Amity Park recently so I'd definitely be careful if I were you. He's a very dangerous ghost. Especially considering the whole vampire theme he's got going on which hopefully doesn't mean his powers are similar in nature since it wouldn't be the first time someone like that showed up in town. But it's hard to say for sure at this point until I can get more information.

As requested by @udistopia here’s a full list of all my Danny Phantom fanfics as well as a few upcoming projects!

Danny Phantom & Fatal Frame/Project Zero Crossover Fanfic

Honestly this is one of my favorite topics since my dad's a photographer and taught me pretty much everything I know about cameras. The earliest cameras were said to be invented around 400BC by a Chinese philosopher named Mo-tzu and in the 4th century the Greek philosopher Aristotle realized it could be used to see a partial eclipse.

It wasn't until the 11th century that the camera obscura was used to reflect a full still image. As for the name, the actual term wasn't coined until 1604 by Johannes Kepler who invented a portable version he used for his astrology research in Austria.

Obviously there's a lot more to the camera's history, but I only wanted to share a quick overview of what a camera obscura is and how it got it's name before we get into the cooler and spookier aspects. So to give you a bit more context, one of my favorite videogames is called Fatal Frame or Project Zero where you have to defend yourself with only a camera with the ability to exorcise ghosts. It's a really good game, especially if you like the classics. Too bad real ghosts aren't so easy to deal with...

Moving on though, I mentioned in my previous post about how mirrors, photographs, and self-portrait paintings were sometimes believed to steal the souls -or at least a small fragment of them- of whoever is being reflected inside. And when you think about it, early cameras were pretty much the same thing. It's a lens that reflects the inverted image of something or someone in a dark room and later on it became possible to 'capture' the image on film by burning the image onto it.

Fun fact, that's why people had to stay perfectly still when taking a family portrait or something because the process of imprinting their image on film took time and moving would make the image blurry.

As for the rest when it comes to the paranormal myths about cameras, over the years I've learned that some stories about ghosts caught on camera are sadly either made up or clever hoaxes. There are definitely some cases where real ghosts have appeared on camera, but the idea that they can only been seen that way by normal people like us isn't true. The fact of the matter is you usually need a special camera to be able to see them if they're invisible since ghosts still have a low temperature, which means that you can detect them with an infrared camera but that only matters if you're out doing a paranormal investigation.

As far as actual photographs being haunted or possessed by ghosts...well, judging from what I've seen it's usually not so much that the photos themselves 'trap' ghosts, it's more like they're the ones who can't move on so it's an emotional attachment keeping them in there. Or at least an echo of their strong feelings and memories. It's the same with paintings in most cases.

You know, it's funny how it feels like the same people are always somehow involved with all the ghost stuff at this school but hey, it's a small town. So lately I've been going around interviewing the other students here because I wanted to know when the earliest ghost sighting was. Also, on a side note, I wound up taking down my haunted painting post since I think you guys get the general idea of what I'm saying, which is how over the years I've learned that some classic ghost stories hold at least some truth to them. And that's what brings me to the topic of this post!

It's a bit hard to see him, but I managed to track down one of the first sightings of our local ghost fighting hero Danny Phantom taking on some kind of meat monster. Now there's no way to confirm this, but when I asked a few people if the ghost said anything when they first appeared and they told me it said "it's lunchtime" so it's possible that somehow that ghost was a former employee of this school. I'll have to do some more research about that later on though.

As for what happened, apparently Sam Manson proposed a new experimental lunch menu that wasn't exactly well received by her classmates or teachers, although the latter tried to hide their secret buffet from the rest of the school who had to try the new menu. Guess it must've given this ghost indigestion too because the next day, they attacked during a pair of protests between local meat lovers and vegetarians led by Sam and her friend Tucker Foley...

And look, I get it. Personally I wish our school system had a better lunch menu with healthier options, but at the same time a balanced diet is important too. Honestly that's why most of us bring our own lunches, myself included. Plus, you can't just expect everyone to give up on meat at the drop of a hat. So if you're reading this Sam, I think you had the right idea, but next time maybe you should come up with a compromise that makes everyone happy. I'd be happy to help with that actually!

Ok, going back to the meat ghost. Sadly I don't know what happened after it first appeared but I'm assuming the ghost boy took care of it since everyone else had run off. That reminds me! Huge shout out to the guy (who asked to remain anonymous) for sharing this picture with me. I'm really excited to learn more about the ghosts here and the stories behind them.

So thank you all for tuning into the first official installment of what I think I'm going to call the "Creepy Cases of Casper High!" To be fair I should have started with the story about Sidney Poindexter, but I decided not to since that's an older local legend of this school from before Danny Phantom appeared and ghost sighting in general became a lot more commonplace. I'm sure I'll be having my own first encounter any day now so wish me luck.
