I just read on the CVB website missouripentours (dot) com that there are more tour opportunities this 2011 season including a possibly limited, but overnight paranormal investigations! We hope to explore this more and it may allow opportunities to recreate this! by the way, I hear the CVB is looking for inmate or guard stories related to the location- if you have one drop me a message and I will get you in touch with the person collecting them!

This was only found upon video review. I did not see it as I was filming live. Not to mention it was a guided tour which I was already lagging behind so as to keep filming with less people in the frames, get more of the facility. Even had I had the chance to note it the ability to check it out may have been limited. I did take another tour and check out the area closer, but they were weeks apart.

This is a tough call ! I don't think it was a clump of lint, like someone else said, because it changed direction too much. If it wasn't paranormal, I'd say the most obvious cause would be a bug of some type. Bugs will certainly appear as orbs on video. It didn't seem to give off it's own light, as a real orb should. I think I'd have to go with the bug, sorry !

[stealthealer]

Appreciate the input! I have to agree with several of your points but fairly certain it is not bug origin. I should also add that the DEVA mentioned in the video also places this more than 6" from the lens which is where most traditional "orbs" take place. Again, not saying paranormal, but without recreation ability- can't be certain of anything!

Clearly just pollen falling in the Missouri breeze as it often does. Sad that there is this much attention and fuss being made about a video that caught pollen. Even sadder that the first reaction was to associate it with the paranormal. Guess people will believe anything nowadays...

What's the song? Who sings it?

[businessmonkey13]

Been floating around here lately. That and it's RARE that something like that is caught on tape in broad daylight too. I just dont think its paronormal...good vid though!

I took the tour with one of my friends during the early spring and it was really cool. We wanted to take the ghost tour, but ended up taking the history tour so we could write a report on it for english class in the following weeks...but anyway, i do believe in the paronormal/ghosts/spirits or whatever you wanna call it. I just dont think that this is somerhing like that. It can be debunked as too many things like a glare or something falling from the sky like one of those pieces of fuzz thats

iv b een here place aint worth seein prisons something i avoid visiting in purpose but i dont think it was a ghost it looked lik a reflection of something

Just took the tour Sat. April,16, 2011 and it was more intresting than I thought it would be. Our guide Mr.Green was excellent.. Can't wait to take the 4 hour tour.

@snowdog1606 I was taken to this pen when i was 16 (1997) on a scared strait tour, Spent the whole day there , ate with the inmates.

It definitely scared me strait.

@April0610 Very good! I noted the rules said no video when I commented on this, but nice to see the guides are allowing! Hopefully 2011 will bring more opportunities at the location to not only recreate and debunk, but maybe to explore more! We volunteered with a "clean-up" day this fall and they are constantly expanding the tours!

 We took the tour in September 2010 and were able to take video and photos.
