The Bells of Azona's Valley

It was never my intention to bring these pictures to these pages, but I'd like to know if anyone has an explanation. The first series were taken after a thunderstorm in April of 1999. The pictures previous to these and one right after these show the raindrop "orbs" After we saw the results of these pictures, we searched high and low for a logical explanation, like a reflection off something, but never found a thing. These are placed in the order they were filmed. The first picture shows them at a distance, I actually missed them in it at first. It was only after I'd seen the larger picture that I looked closer at the first one.

Ok, so we had those pictures, but they were too bizarre to show anyone (other than a few very close friends :o). Life goes on. Between then and now, I take hundreds of pictures, all with the same camera, same type film, no bells. So, we just wrote it off as something that reflected but we never found out what. Then on Sunday night, Oct.9th.....
We got these shots. The first one here is number 14 in the film series and was taken at Vegors Cemetery. Number 15 has no bell/s. Number 16 was taken looking across the Boone River on the way home, the white at the bottom is the door jam, the mist I imagine is nothing more than the temperature and moisture off the river itself, but the bell??? Number 17, again nothing. And Number 18 is overlooking Wicca's grave, back off our deck:

Ok, that's it. Anyone have any ideas about this?

IS THIS MYSTERY SOLVED??? Troy Taylor, president of the American Ghost Society (see AGS on Welcome page) has suggested that he has seen these before and that a friend of his who is a camera *expert* says there IS a mechanism shaped like a bell inside the camera, that perhaps reflects in the film when conditions are right. When time permits, I will be taking my old trusty 35mm into the camera shop with photos in hand for a verification of this. Sounds plausible to me and I thank Troy and Barb Huyser for their insight into this. So, I will let this page remain, however, not as a paranormal occurance, but rather as an example to others who may get these "bells" in their pictures.
