2025 Terrell Paranormal Ghost Walk Photo and Video Contest
By Popular Request: Our Paranormal Photo and Video Contest is Back and Better Than Ever!
We're finalizing details, but here's what we have so far.
Why Your Images Matter to Us
At Terrell Ghosts, we’re excited to see the photos you’ve captured on our tours! It’s incredible what you can discover when you’re observant. While we focus on providing tour details, some fascinating sights may go unnoticed. With infrared cameras, you can spot things beyond our normal vision. You might miss a shadowy figure with your eyes, but through your lens, it could come to life. We’ve encountered even stranger phenomena!
Our Fans Hold the Power to Decide the Contest Winners, Not the Team
As your tour guides, we refrain from commenting on your photographs for a couple of reasons:
- We didn't take the photos, so we lack the context needed for meaningful insights.
- Maintaining an air of mystery enriches the experience for everyone involved.
- Our journey began with a puzzling photograph that we later learned more about, but it was that initial intrigue that fueled our passion for the paranormal. Embrace the unknown and let your own experiences unfold!
Instead, we hold a photo contest at the end of the season (Nov-Dec 2025), with judging handled by our social media followers to ensure fairness and impartiality.
Here's just a couple ghostly photos, with and without filters, to see examples:

Submitting Your Photos and Videos
We encourage you to post your photos to social media if you'd like immediate feedback, but you will still need to submit your photo or video below so we can add it to the queue for voting day. We want to make sure we include all intended videos and don't want to miss a post by accident.
Please ensure you either place a small name watermark your photo and include your full name, email address, and phone number so we can contact you. Any submitted photos may be used in future promotions, and credit will be given for your submission.
For Edited or Indirect Photos and Videos:
It is best if we have an unedited photo direct from the device it was taken on (SD Cards are fine too). That helps us confirm the validity of the photograph to ensure it hasn''t been used in any programs that may cause dismissal from the contest.
