Orbs

Do you believe in ghosts?

Do you want to hear a ghost story?

Okay then.

First, some setup: Me and Ericka have agreed that Wednesday night is her night off. She can go hang out with whomever she wants, do whatever she wishes family-wise, and so on. With that said, last night she decided to hang out with her friend Nikki.

Now I don’t know about you, but graveyards were the last place I expected my better half to be hanging out at. But graveyards it was. And she took her camera with her.

Take a look at this photo (click on it for the full image):

You see, many people believe that the circle in that photo is a ghost, an actual spirit that has clung to the earth instead of going on to the ‘other side.’

If you’re sniggering, then you don’t care and think it’s foolish. If you’re curious, then you’re like myself. If you’ve stopped reading, well…so long.

Anyway, the skeptics are very clear on this issue: They blame all sorts of things on these anomalies. They say it’s dust, or it’s some reflective particle in the air or it’s a problem with the camera.

Note: Ericka was taking all sorts of photos that evening, including ‘control’ photos that were not aimed at the cemetary and had no Orbs.

Here is one she took from the side of the road (as evidenced from the guardrail at the bottom):

Note how the Orbs are in different shapes around the place.

Here is another one. For this one she simply pointed her camera toward the mausoleum nearby and snapped a photo.

Now skeptics say this is BS, as I mentioned. But even while I’m looking at this with one eyebrow raised, I’m not so pompous as to say that this is an impossibility, rather that it is a very interesting diversion.

Are ghosts real? Are orbs actually ghosts? Orbs have been seen on all sorts of film and in all sorts of cameras. While they have shown up by accident, many times they don’t show up until you get near somewhere ‘haunted’ or a place where the dead lay to rest (cemetaries, mausoleums, etc).

Go ahead and try it: Take some photos around a cemetary late at night and see what you come up with. I think you’ll be surprised.

For more info, see the Goog.
