Definition of orbs

[founder]

According To The Wikapedia Encyclopdia


Orbs are considered by some people to be the simplest and most
common form of a disembodied spirit. In photography and video,
orbs appear to be balls of light with an apparent size ranging from a
golf ball to a basketball. Orbs sometimes appear to be in motion,
leaving a trail behind them.ORBS

Naturalistic Orbs

There are a number of naturalistic causes for orbs in photography
and videography.

Solid orbs - Dry particulate matter such as dust, pollen, insects, etc.
Liquid orbs - Droplets of liquid, usually water, e.g. Rain.
Foreign material on the camera lens
Foreign material within the camera lens
Foreign material within the camera body
There are also orbs showing up without any "environmental"
explanation i.e. No visible dust, no rain, no moisture, no snowing,
no light reflections, etc.

It is then the opinion of this web site that these photo's or videos
contain orbs of paranormal origin.

We urge those who photograph then to test the "theories" Shake
a rug or dust mop and take several photo's. Use water spray and
take several pictures and so on... Become familiar with how
naturalistic orbs appear in photo's from your camera. Then when
that true "paranormal" orb appears it will be gained with full
recognition.

The AirButterfly website shows a collection of nice colourful orbs
which appeared in pictures taken in occasion of a party in Turin,
Italy. The pictures have been taken with 3 different cameras, which
confirms the fact that these orbs are not caused by dust, rain, dirty
lenses or other technical issues.

Another speculation of research says that with the high usage of
electricity in homes and businesses that paranormally an entity
could enter the orb type clusters of electricity in the air as a means
of transport. As their being a source of energy it is a comfortable
mode for them to travel.


So then with the definition of Paranormal being :
Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation

We will look at orbs that are without reason to be called naturalistic
as paranormal until proven otherwise.

I feel sometimes people that are inexperienced pick up dust particals. They want so much to have that snapshot to prove the existence of spirits that they fail to be objective. Then there are the orbs that you just cant pass off as being anything else but, the real deal. Exspecially when you have a colored orb or one with a face in it.

[Debbie Lasiter-Morris]

You are very right... We are encouraging those who take the pictures to now test thier efforts. We know that there are those who would say that "Orbs" have nothing to do with Paranormal Activity ? We though have kept with the theory to experiment, see what you have and to always remember that the Paranormal is Unexplained Phenomena and to be open to what you see... or hear! Thanks for the great input.

~I'm not a big fan of orbs...but I am more educated now about them than I was a year ago. Because I do live in an old home (1880), dust orbs are the most common here when taking pictures. There was only one time I took a picture and the "orb" was solid and looked as though it was moving. Other than that one picture, the rest are chalked up as dust.

[Debbie Lasiter-Morris]

There are so many theories about orbs and the pictures of them are astronomical in number. I think as with any other paranormal phenomena it must be tested and researched many times over. My personal thoughts are that there are some that are of "a ghostly presence" but that does not by any means say that I believe all orbs are ghosts. Circumstances, conditions and thoroughly having pictures of this phenomena researched is probably the only way to be sure, but even in that process it is not always a positive. It sometimes remains a paranormal phenomena.

Why would a ghost show itself as a ball? Why not show itself as a human form? In all the ghost shows you see on tv they show themselves as the were in life. Is this just for tv? Do they do this in real life? Or real afterlife? Sorry for so many questions. If you dont ask, you will never know.
