Ok. Lets talk Orbs. The most common question I get is what is an "Orb" Lets say that the definition of an Orb is like the soul of a departed person. The soul being the essence of who they were in life, complete with their intelligence, their emotions and their personality.
Orbs have always been a part of the paranormal, even before the chase was on. Native Americans sometimes called them Tei Pai Wankas and believed seeing them was like coming upon dead relatives. The term Will-o-the-Wisp was used by Europeans later, but the idea was basically the same. Orbs were thought to be the spirits who had enough energy to be made partly whole and were mainly seen with the naked eye. Detractors saw them as either semi-explosive natural gases or the imagination.
Actually, 99 percent of orb pictures can be dismissed just by looking at the evidence. This means consider the conditions and the location first. Were you in a dusty location, were you outside right after a rain storm, was the wind blowing, where there bugs, where there others snapping pictures at the same time, and could it be a reflection of small lights of something in the room or camera? These are all questions you should ask yourself. Right? Because as a ghost hunter, you want to disprove these questions.
So, here's the deal. Check your pictures closely and if you can do not use the flash. It doesn't make for great pictures but it will help eliminate some flash issues of reflection. Because remember 99% of orb pictures can be explained, but as for that other 1%...hope your the one that grabs it!!
Feel free to tell me your opinion on orbs. Some believe they should not be considered at all in the paranormal, but what do you think?
