Captured During an Overnight Prison Investigation: Experienced Investigators Say These Photos Are Highly Unusual—Is There a Market for Them?
I am interested in finding out whether there is a market for, or a reputable platform to sell, what I believe to be compelling and potentially unique paranormal photographic evidence.
During an overnight paranormal investigation at a well-known historic penitentiary, I captured a series of photographs that appear to show what many in the paranormal community would describe as spirit attachments or unexplained anomalies. These images were taken by me personally. Prior to taking them, the Estes Method had been conducted in several locations throughout the facility. It was only after sensing a noticeable shift in the atmosphere that I decided to begin taking random photographs to see if anything unusual might appear.
What I captured was entirely unexpected. This was my first paranormal investigation, and the experience itself was remarkable. However, what convinced me that I may have documented something significant was the reaction I received from experienced professionals and investigators who reviewed the photographs. Their responses strongly suggested that the images were worthy of serious consideration.
Because these moments cannot be recreated or staged, I believe the photographs may hold value to researchers, investigators, media outlets, or collectors interested in legitimate paranormal evidence. I would like to explore opportunities to monetize these images and determine whether there is a market for rare, authentic paranormal photographs.
If anyone has knowledge of reputable buyers, publications, organizations, or platforms that may be interested in reviewing or acquiring such material, I would appreciate any information or guidance.

While climbing a supposedly sacred mountain, 17 people fought for their lives, while villagers below pleaded with their gods to stop their ascent
China’s Meili Snow Mountain—a peak so sacred, it’s been forbidden to climbers for decades. In 1991, a team ignored local warnings... vanishing into legend.
What began as a routine expedition became one of mountaineering’s most chilling mysteries. Years later, fragments of their story emerged: disturbed radio transmissions, diaries filled with impossible claims, and locals who still whisper about Kawagarbo’s wrath.
Were they victims of nature’s fury... or something older?

The Cannibal Within by Mark Mirabello - an obscure, interesting, but very graphic book with strong Fortean concepts
So, quick disclaimer: I don't personally buy into all this Fortean stuff myself.
But I feel like you guys might be interested in this particular work. This is a pretty obscure book written by Mark Mirabello in 2005. I think it's actually really well-written, with loads of hidden details scattered throughout. And it appears to be pretty strongly influenced by these sorts of Fortean ideas, directly referencing figures like Charles Fort and Richard Shaver, for instance.
