ok, so they're not all orbs but they are all digital camera pictures from at least four separate cameras; two separate nikon digital slr, one fujifilm and the other is HP i think...it was my friends camera.

the second link contains photos of a spirit being who i took pictures of on three different days...though only two are loaded.

sometimes it depends on whether or not you ask nicely for them to show up; other times you can get them by accident.

Answer 2

First let me state that I can not influence your beliefs one way or the other as that facts do not change beliefs.
Many skeptics remain unbelievers by explaining away research with valid evidence.
Many believers maintain their conviction in spite of being shown normal explanations for their experiences.

That said, Orbs in Digital cameras: Digital photography works by filling in pixels (via light) into the display. When there is inadequate light this may show up as orbs in the final photo/video. Orbs of course can also appear in normal photography due to water mosture (drops) on the camera lens and reflections of dust when a flash is used. There seem to be so many normal reasons that these show up that concluding they are spirits, ghost or energy of anything seems unreasonable to me.
Yes, they are often found during paranormal investigations but they are also found in locations not reported to be haunted. I do not believe orbs stand on their own (and possibly not at all) as evidence of unusual activity.
Granted if orbs were observed with the human eye, cold spots were felt, photographed, unexplained sounds heard and maybe smells out of place at a reportedly haunted location then perhaps one could establish a possible correlation. However, when they are offered as the only evidence captured at a haunted location I remain suspect.

You know, my husband and I are still trying to figure out what orbs are too. We catch a lot of them in pictures when we are investigating. We can usually distinguish between dust and an orb just be cause of the shape or how they look. The ones we know are orbs are almost perfectly round, usually isolated and are almost opaque but still a little transparent. There are different theories about them. Some people think they're gases released from the ground or dust, and some think they are spirits or spirit energy. From our experience, we lean more to the latter but always stay objective in our investigations.

We've been able to photograph an orb from different angles which stayed in one set area over a family plot in a cemetery. The orb moved around over the plot and we would follow it with the camera as it travelled, but it stayed within the borders of that plot. We 'watched' it for quite a while, having to take picures and review them in order to see where it was. So in our experience, we believe orbs are more that just dust :)

Answer 4

It's up to you to believe what you want. However, "orbs" are very easily explained as photographic anomalies associated with flash reflection. With digital cameras, orbs are even more common due to the greater apparent depth of field that digital cameras usually have, often yielding perfectly round "orbs" that are nothing more than out-of-focus point reflections. There's no need to fabricate wild ghost tales when science and photography knowledge known for decades readily provides a very likely and understandable natural explanation.

Answer 5

I have orbs in the photos of my son and stringy things flying in front of the camera on some pics. What we don't understand we tend to define them in a comforting manner so we wont sound silly when people might think we are crazy for thinking they are orb's. Believe it, there are things that people disgaurd for the simple reason they can't explain them and they have no vision for the unexplained. Enjoy the picture and for myself orb's are a part of life like anything else we see. Just because we can't explain them does'nt mean they don't exsist it just means we can't explain them. I say believe it.

Sylvia Brown the chick always on the Montel show says that orbs are angels. So see they are good things.
