Are there really ghosts in my basement?

Are there really ghosts in my basement?

MYour dad heard voices in the basement. He said he heard voices talking about what his life was like, sort of the plot of his life.

My cousin and I wanted to explore this topic further, so we took the camera downstairs. I took photos everywhere in my basement. At the top of the stair railing was a pale mark made in pen. If you look at it closely, you'll see it said, “You took it off.” I couldn't believe it. When we moved in, there was a compact sticker in the shape of a hand with fur stuck to the basement wall. My dad or mom must have taken it off because it wasn't there anymore. The ghosts didn't like it, so they found a way to tell us about it.

One of the photos we took with my camera actually moved. It wasn't a recorded video, just a photo. It moved, revealing the approaching shadow and the increasingly foggy air. Another photo showed a blue tarp hanging, as always. But another photo of the same tarp showed the tarp hanging from one strand.

I took a photo of the wall and it came out on my computer and camera as a close-up face, showing the nose and eyes. It was a gray and slightly see-through face.

The last thing that happened was that my cousin took a flashlight and shined it on a white piece of paper. She took out the flashlight and put it back. A quarter of the newspaper was missing. Later that week, I was sitting at my computer downstairs and I heard the voice of an aged woman calling out, “Bradley, Bradley, Bradley!”

Please tell me what you think. Are there ghosts in my basement?
