WHAT ARE ORBS? - PARANORMAL ORBS OF LIGHT CAUGHT ON FILM

Orbs are balls of light that are caught on video, film or by digital camera. Some people believe that orbs are spirits and paranormal energies whereas most skeptics believe that orbs are either caused by insects, moisture, dust particles and malfunctioning camera diodes. But can all orbs be explained in this way? For example researcher who have taken photographs of the hands of healers show that orbs are more likely to appear in photographs when the healer is projecting their spiritual powers.

ORB PICTURES AND PHOTOGRAPHS

Similarly, why is it that orbs often appear in photos around the heads of mediums when they are communicating with the dead and what are orbs that appear on photographs taken at spiritually significantly times? Orbs appear in photographs taken in grave yards, alleged haunted locations and before important life changing events: are these just camera anomalies or is something much stranger going on?

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH REAL ORBS

"To manufacture FAKE orbs use an old digital camera in a dusty or damp room and use a flash. To capture REAL orbs use a 35mm camera using photographic film with a standard lens in normal light. Do not use a flash.

In most instances orbs are caused by particles of dust and water caught in the very short focal length of digital cameras. They can also be caused by old cameras that have trouble functioning properly in low light or that have faults in one or more of the sensing diodes. It is best not to use flash as this can also create lens flare and other effects that can be mistaken for paranormal phenomena. To capture real orbs and spirit lights I would suggest taking pictures of healers and mediums as they are working to see if any special energies are revealed when they are using their powers."
