What's convincing about these to me is the fact that they're all different sizes. Seeming to be closer and farther away. I think the one that looks MOST convincing is the second ine in your first post. Crazy stuff.
So what exactly ARE the orbs? And why can't they be picked up by our eyesight? Or CAN they?
"Orbs", as people call them, are the first stage in visual manifestation of spirits. They often occur when feeding off of a person's spiritual energy to manifest into a ball, a shadow, etc.
They can't usually be picked up with eyesight because, technically, though the residual is in a certai nplace, it is on a completely different plane. Usually, you cannot pick them up with the naked eye unless you have an abnormally high spiritual awareness. The most efficent way to pick them up, I think, is to use a video camera. This way, you can see whether they appear and fade out or float back and forth. This is much simpler than still life photos like these because it's easier to examine and determine the true physical nature of these so called "orbs". This is a problem often faced during our paranormal invesigations. we use still life sometimes, but, as I said, using a videocamera is the way to go.
Now, going back to what I said before about needing a high spiritual awareness to see them with the naked eye...
This is true in MOST instances. Anyone who has seen an orb in a picture knows that they are rather small compared to us. Most of the time they are the size of a fingernail. By the size and shape of the orbs, you can guess how powerful or how weak they are. 9 times out of 10, small orbs are just grounded spirits who need help and guidance to find their way into heaven. There are some cases, however, where they may be violent or malevolent spirits looking to keep a low profile while causing trouble.
If a violent or malevolent spirit DOES want to make themseloves known in ways other than bumps and bangs and small little touches or sensations, they will gather whatever energy they can and, the more spiritual energy they collect, the more clearly you can see them with or without a camera. Mind you, the spirits are usually A or S-class, good or bad, when you can see them with thenaked eye. The tricky part is depicting whether or not they're calling for help, or whether they want to help you out the door... Or down a flight of stairs sweatdrop
