On Nov. 24th 2001, my husband, George, my daughter, Darcie and myself, Valerie, were camping on our property in North East Arizona, It is near a little town of St. Johns. We had just purchased the property and put up a small storage shed to hold our camping gear. Part of our property has Anasazi pottery sherds on it. That was the first weekend we camped out.
This picture was taken was the second time weekend we camped out. At dusk, Darcie was gathering firewood. She came to me and asked if a twig or something was on her back. I told her no and asked why. She told me that something kept hitting her, almost like someone was throwing things at her to get her attention, but when she turned around no one was there. George and I teased her that she had an Indian Ghost boyfriend. She thought about it for a few minutes, realized that she had been feeling a presence and acknowledged the spirit. He stopped throwing things at her. The next evening, after a long drive home we unloaded the digital camera. That's when we saw this for the first time. My daughter is just on the left edge of the picture looking toward the fire. One thing I would like to point out is the water can and shovel. Since we don't have any water on the property yet, we are very cautious about campfires. This fire was a very small and low one. It flared up the instant I snapped the picture.
