Man tried to take photos of spirits … in the nude

Robert Hurst told a Mississippi newspaper that he shed his clothes because he believes skin is the best canvas to show spirits’ orbs of energy. The 47-year-old says he only intended to remove his shirt, but he took off all his clothes — a move he now calls “stupid.”
