At the end of December 2008 I spent a few days in Wiltshire. I suspected there might be several Ghost formations and,
therefore, drove by the fields that had hosted a crop circle a few months prior. (Ghost formations are formations that
reappear vaguely in new crop after the field was ploughed; for more information, click on the button Anomalies and then
on Ghosts).
First of all, the old PI-formation that appeared on June 1, now had turned into a beautiful Ghost. Standing on top of
Barbury Castle, both the outer ring and the inner circle of the original formation were clearly visible:
On ground level it was ever so obvious what had caused this appearance. The small plants - sown by the farmer at fall -
hardly grew at all. The plants in the rest of the field were remarkably bigger:
This Ghost was a good example of the energy used by the Circle Makers. Even after the field had been harvested and ploughed,
the outline of the PI-formation reappeared months later in the young new crop. Soil analysis has shown us that the
crystalline structure of the soil inside crop circles is altered by the energy used by the Circle Makers. This then influences
the fertility of the soil. In the case of the PI-formation, the fertility of the soil had clearly diminished. However, there
have been many cases of Ghosts with bigger and stronger new crop. In those cases the fertility of the soil had augmented.
Upon return to Wiltshire in February, I noticed and photographed two more Ghost formations. I had seen them back in December,
but my photographs were not too good due to the lack of light. And so, in February, I took more pictures of the Ghosts of
both Yin Yang formations (at Furze Knoll and Avebury):
When I tried to fly over the Ghosts to make aerial pictures, the pilot told me the weather was too unstable. What a shame...
However, he did make my day by telling me he had flown over the snow covered fields a few weeks before, and that he had
taken pictures of a Ghost formation in snow! It was at Yatesbury, where the vague contours of the Diamant formation of
last summer now were visible as the energy had melted the snow slightly. Was the soil a few degrees warmer in that particular
spot?
The best surprise came through my dear friend and fellow researcher Eva Brekkestö, who showed me a photo taken by Matthew
Williams of a magnificent Ghost in snow at Oliver's Castle!
The contours of the original formation were unbelievably clear. Only the parts of the formation in which the wheat had been
flattened now had melted the snow. The other parts - in which the crop had been standing - were covered by snow, just like
the rest of the field.
I found more Ghosts in February but did not have time to cover all the fields that had hosted formations last summer. It is
always difficult to cover it all, as I live in the Netherlands and cannot pop over on every single occasion. This might change
however, as I have found a place to stay in Wiltshire indefinitely. I intend to study the Ghost formations more thoroughly
in the near future as they truly fascinate me. What an amazing energy imprints!
In my latest book "Crop Circles - The Evidence" I cover the Ghost phenomenon with many unique photographs.
