Welcome to Gaia! ::

I believe that most of the orbs we can see in pictures are dust particles; the flash on a digital camera illuminates those particles that are in a proper angle. Many of the pictures also prove that the number and frequency of orbs has nothing to do with a place being considered as haunted. The possibility is that some spirits appear as orbs and other manifest in different ways. Regardless, most orb pictures are easy to reproduce. I say most, because I’m sure there are some legit recordings of paranormal activity. Those that look different, move differently, are recorded without any direct light source, are accompanied by other phenomena and such. There are also those that can be seen with the naked eye. There were sightings of big groups of orbs somewhere around Stonehenge if I remember correctly.

I’ve had some appear in pictures taken in my house, specifically on one Christmas a couple of years back. They were weird, because they were structured, the outer layer was distinguishable and looked like it consisted of separate cells, on some pictures they were multicolored, like soap bubbles. They looked like they were concentrating around my father, on one picture two are sitting on his head. I can post some when I find them, if anyone would like to see them.
There are two possibilities, my father believes that those were dogs that he had, that they came to say hi or something. On the other hand we live in a place that used to bee a Jewish cemetery that was disassembled shortly after the war, so I always blamed spirit activity in the house on that.

I don't watch TV so I don't know about the shows, but if spirits can manifest or be caught on camera as mist or in human form, then an orb form seems more basic and probable enough. Spirits can travel or inhabit a place solitary or in groups, so two orbs on one picture isn't that strange. Those orbs can of course be something different than human spirits, people like to think there alone here. There is no way of knowing for sure, so it's best to believe in what feels more right smile

Yes, well, they can appear in groups regardless of the media wink It should be easier to believe a video since you can see if they move at different speed and in different directions.
Since those orbs aren’t necessarily manifestations of human spirits, I wonder what else they could be.
*fluff bunny alert* Wouldn’t it be fun if they were some type of faeries? XD

I agree, Ghost Hunters has made me so skeptical of any form of media.

I've never heard about that. How do you know their faerie orbs, and what do they look like?

Wow, I had no idea stuff like that happened, you're really lucky!

That makes me want to go visit the Poconos.
