What are orb's?

 

Well that is a big question as nothing has been proven as to whether any Orbs really are that of a Spirit/Ghosts.

There is a big debate amongst the paranormal investigators regarding orbs.  Many believe them to be nothing more than dust or moisture, whilst others believe them to be that of spirit energy. 

Whilst we would all like to believe we have captured a ghost or spirit, it is important to be realistic and look for alternative explanations.

Most Orbs are just dust or moisture, but there are those which are questionable.

If you scuff your feet or jump up and down on a spot, dust will fill the air like little soap bubbles.

When there is any moisture in the air, often near water or when it’s been raining and the sun is absorbing moisture from the ground, stone etc. evaporation takes place.  You can even get moisture on the lens of your camera.

The flash light on camera can bounce back from a shiny object, like a door knob, crystal or window.

But can we be really certain that some of these Orbs aren’t Spirit?

Orbs are still believed by many to be the soul/spirit of a person who has left their material body and passed to the Spirit world.

There is still a strong belief among many that orbs are ghosts/spirits in the form of a light, often travelling in groups and having a willingness to remain on Earth.

A belief that they are spirits often bound to their previous location for some reason, remaining on Earth due to the sudden passing from death as in the case of a murder, suicide, accident, or loss of a loved one.

Maybe these Orbs are really spirit spheres trying to make peace within their location so they can move on.  Who really knows?

But if Orbs really are spirit, then it isn’t really surprising that they are often sphere/round in shape, when you look at things the things represent life.

We use circles to represent eternal life, with no beginning and no ending. Our blood cells are sphere shape, soap bubbles are sphere shape, birds build their nests in circles, even the rain droplets are sphere shaped.

Most photo's taken by us are dismissed as dust or moisture, unless a member or members of the group, have seen or felt spirit presence.

We do not however treat 'orbs' photos as paranormal proof.

 

Here are some photo's our group has taken.  Obviously we cannot be certain they are in fact  'spirit orb's', who really knows?  We leave that decision to you!

 

                        

 The above photos was taken at Reculver Towers, where Jackie 'saw' a monk.

 

 

The above photo was taken by Paul at Arundel Town Hall.  While there didn't seem much paranormal energy in the room, this is still an interesting photo.

 

 

                 

These were taken by Donna.  The first photo shows quite a large 'orb' which has a face in it. (The white strips, are pieces of wood, that have been suspended from the ceiling to hold posters)  The second a blue/white bright orb.

 

 

The above photo was taken by Rose in Chislehurst Caves,  if you look closely you can see a face in the orb.

 

 

           

These were taken in Michelham Priory.  1st and 2nd by Clare H.  and the 3rd by Donna.

 

 

         

These were taken by Donna at Pevensey Castle

 

 

         

This was taken by Donna at Pevensey Courthouse, the only 'orb' that was captured on the night. (small one on the sleeve)

 

 

               

 

This was taken by Donna at Pevensey Church.  The 'orb' is at the top in photo one and blown up in photo 3.  If you look carefully you can see a face in it.

          

 

     

These were taken by Steve at Pevensey Church.  The 3rd photo is interesting as the two 'orbs' seem to be going in the opposite directions.  They are NOT stars.

 

 

     

   

The above four photos were taken by Jackie.  They were taken one after the other within a few minutes.  The smoke seems to build up and an orb appears then its all back to normal within minutes.

 

This photo taken by Donna was during the same few minutes Jackie was taking the  four above, interestingly there is an orb in a different spot above the gates.

 

 

                

The above photos were taken in Canewdon by Donna.

 

 

         

The above photo was taken at Canewdon by Paul.  The photos are the same but the second has been lightened to try and show more detail of the purple orbs.  It was a dry clear night and the only photo which contained lots of purple orbs to be taken during the whole evening.   

 

 

  

This photo was taken by Donna in Canterbury, there were no lights near this part of the grave yard.

 

 

The above photo was taken by Steve at Canterbury, there is an orb to the left of the picture.  The light on the right is street lighting?

 

 

     

The above photos were taken at Canewden Church by Jackie.  She saw the spirit of a young man so decided to take some photos.  As you can see the orb moves in each picture.

 

 

            

These were taken by Jackie and Donna around the same time, while on our 2nd visit to  Canewden. S trangely they were captured in the same location as our last visit, where it has been reported that the spirit of a lady appears to walk.  As you can see the orb has moved between photos.  They were taken on different cameras and the second has had to be lightened slightly.

 

 

         

The above photos were taken by Jackie.  They were taken within seconds of each other.  The first shows one large bright 'orb' and another fainter one slightly lower to the left.        

 

 

     

The above photos were taken by Kevin at Pluckley

 

 

The above photo was taken by Donna at Pluckley
