Okay, so my parents came back on Sunday with pictures from their anniversary weekend. They'd gone to Dublin and stayed at a place called the Druid Lodge and visited a load of places including Kilmainham Jail (lucky sods).

Upon viewing the pictures, I noticed stuff in a few of them. I ended up jumping out of my seat saying "Holy #### mum there's orbs everywhere!"
And I was right, in 7 of the sixty-odd pictures they took there were what appear to be orbs of many different sizes and brightnesses (is that a word? sweatdrop )
Daddy dearest immediately claimed the lense must have been dirty. But if that's the case, how come only 7 of the pictures have orbs showing? And how come those particular pics are only of the lodge (which was filled with antiques and had some druid stones out back!) and the haunted jail? It's weird. Plus some of the orbs are very bright. Unless they're a reflection of light, I think that we may have a couple of hauntings here.

So anyway instead of ranting, I'm gonna show you the pictures. Please tell me what you think of them (note: in one or two the orbs are harder to see, sorry about the quality).

Since you asked: because dust particles move around on draughts, and aren't constantly reflecting light - you can take two shots of a room with specks of dust floating around with a very short time interval between each shot (such as half-a-second) and have a lot of dust show up in one picture, but none in the other. You should never rely on presumed orbs to determine if there's a haunting, because they're far, /far/ to easy to confuse with dust (if orbs even exist in the first place), so unless you have a solid, workable method of telling which dots are dust and which are orbs (i.e., how would you tell them apart if they appeared in the same photo?), stay clear of leaping to conclusions based on photographs of orbs alone.
