Oppinions on ORBS ans Ghosts or Angels/spirit guides

Here is is. Although I have been a practicing Witch since i was 12..a generational Witch as well ( I don't know who in my family history was )..I only know this because my gifts come to me with out effort, spell casting is effortless it is all as natural to me as breathing. I don't claim to KNOW everything! I have tooo many questions and seek others opinions and perceptions..Here are my questions.
A. How can you tell from a photo what is dust, a reflection or something REAL. ( I spend more time "debunking" stuff and trying to prove it wrong instead of "oooh! look at this and WANTING it to be real and having it turn out that is not real. If it is real I WANT IT TO BE REAL.
B. Does size matter? lol What does the size mean?
C. What is an ORB exactly? I have read that it is energy, atmosphere, Angels, souls of small children or animals...WHICH is it??
D. What is the difference between the colors?
E. Where do they come from?
Go to my profile pictures you will see pictures of what i am speaking about. I have noted all of them.
Blessings, Allison )0(

You can see every detail on the negatives.
With digital cameras always assume it is a reflection.
Take more than one picture of the same place/person.
If the orbes appear consistently, try a different angle, move a little bit aside and try again.
If they appear again and again, try another camera. Let's see some examples after doing so.

B. Lol. Is it a serious question?

C. It depends on the situation, I've been into different places where there are weird things happening. Radios changing stations by themselves, moving chairs, etc. and the best way to perceive "ghosts" is with your instinct.
I'm not so fan of watching orbs in pictures, most of them are dust, humidity or light tricks.
Orbs are just moving circles of "light", no one can explain 100% what they are, no one has catched one yet!

D & E. Colors and procedence... you may read about aura colors and relate them to this phenomena. But it's like assuming a bigger orb is an older one than a smaller one... etc. I think more than concentrating on the orb itself, you can focus on the energy you feel. It's way different to meet an angel, than an old "bad "spirit, or a gnome or fairies.... You really feel the difference. Orbs are so ethereal, so fast, and change form and color, I can't imagine someone doing a guide on what kind of energy they are, or where they come from... Do you think you can start a study on this?

Have you taken interesting pictures? I can show you an interesting picture I took at a cemetery in Costa Rica.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not sure that there's concrete scientific evidence to prove ANY answers...(well, except that B. question! LOL!)
There are THEORIES...but ulitmately I think you have to determine for yourself what you believe them to be, where you feel they might come from, etc...
I've seen SOME photos that CLEARLY show an orb is a light reflection, or a distant headlight from a car...OTHERS I've seen seem totally to defy explanation...and I don't believe the photos were "doctored".
Do let us know if you find your answers...I've yet to find mine! LOL!

I'm Unaware If You Read The Piece I Wrote About My Exsperience In SpiritualLasseys Paranormal Ghosts Discussion Or Not, Please Feel Free To Read & Offer Up Suggestions As Yet I've Not Had Very Much Responce "Sighs".

The Question Of Orbs, Hummm, Definitive Answers I Am Unable To Give, However Suppositions I Can. Tis Most Interesting That These Energies Seem To Appear More Often In Photo's "Especially" That Are Taken Within Cemetaries! My Next Observation Is They Tend To Appear Most Often Around Open Ground & Within Heavily Vegetated Sites i.e. Trees Shrubs & Flowers But Also They Appear Manifested With Photography, Why I Do Not Quite Understand (Yet), I'm Working On It).

Re PsyPagan, Greetings Brother, You Feel that Perhaps Orbs Are Camera Specks Dust Or Reflections ect, You Also Mention They're More Defined On "Negatives"!; I Would Encourage You To Try (Infrared Cameras), You Might Find Orbs Much More Defined Again From This Type Of Picture & From This Notice That Orbs Have An "Organic Composition" That May Suggest Bio Organisms, But I'm Not Resting On This Point Alone, Only Outlining Distinction From Reflection Or Dust.

Anomalies Appear In My Personal Pictures More Often Than Not & For The Longest Time I Threw Out Pictures Thinking There Was Something Wrong With The Camera Itself. I Am Syneathetic & View Life From Another Perspective, It Had'nt Occured To Me That Was I Was Seeing With My Physical Eyes Naturally Was Indeed Being Picked Up By The Camera As "Orbs", Until One Day I Put 2 3 5 7 n 9 Together Chuckles joking.

What I See Physically Comes In Many Shapes Colors Sizes & Forms But Most Common Are The Little Golden "Sperms" I Call Them Which Swim In The Atmosphere Like Tadpoles In A Pond, Making Decided Movements & Intelligent Decsions. They Appear Like Electricity To My Eyes But On Camera They Become Bubble Like Or White Circular Blotches, Not To Mention They Can Also Appear In Long Sweeping Colors Not Unlike A Paint Brush Stroke Across A Blank Page With Numerous Amazing Colors Like Rainbows.

I Encounter Them As Tiny Point Of Light & They More Often Appear When I'm Under The Shower Or Near Water Of Any Description. The Only Way I Could Prove What I Could See Was With Photographs. I See Them All The Time!I Mention In The Paranormal Discussion That Only Two Books Gave Me Any Ideas Asto There Origin & What They Might Be Named >> Alice.A.Baileys Cosmic Fire & Helena Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine, Both Not Only Provide Answers But Describe A Multifaceted Society Dwelling Upon Many Different Planes Of Existence From Devas To Angelic Forms, Each Having Distinct Colors & Geometric Shapes Such As Spheres, Triangles Hexagons ect.

However The Ball Of Firebugs ( First & Only Encounter) Was Something I'd Not Seen Before What I Encountered Was Also Different Because Someone Else Could See What I Was Seeing .. .
(My Beloved Deaf Dog). Anyway I'll Close For Now But Look Forward To More Discussion & Exchanges Of Thoughts, Be Well M'Lady Immortal & PsyPagan : ) Lee °º¤øAkaø¤º° ßµttêrf|ý~Tigëréss® नमस्ते ß|êssêd ßê; ▶ Reply to This
