I'd like to start a discussion about all things relating to orbs. I have had my own personal experiences with orbs (only in photos) but I haven't arrived at a definitive conclusion as to what they truly are. My experience with photographing orbs has always been in dimly lit locations where the camera flash was required. So I can't rule out the possibility that the flash may be causing an artefact to appear in the photo. I suppose the same could be said about taking photos in daylight where the sun may be causing a reflection on the lens. Many of the locations that I've photographed were believed to be haunted so I'm open to the idea that orbs are disembodied spirits.
Do you believe that orbs are conscious beings? Are there different types of orbs? Disembodied human spirit, extradimensional being, etc. How can you discern between a real orb and an artefact in a digital photo? Why do orbs seem to be more common in haunted places? There is definitely the possibility that it's a human who died at that location, but at the expense of being labeled a skeptic, it could also be the result of using a flash in a dark location.
If anyone has photographs of orbs please post them in this thread. I am especially interested to see any photographs that depict a face within the orb.
Toller - I read your post about photographing the garden in Dorset and capturing orbs in the photos. Could you post those photos here?
To start off this thread, here's a photo I took at the Wabasha Street Caves in St Paul. I added red outlines around the 4 orbs in the photo and enlarged the orb on the ceiling. No other modifications were made. Note the orb at the bottom left is behind the chair leg. The orb on the ceiling seems to contain a face wearing either sunglasses or futuristic goggles. I find it difficult to believe that those are merely digital artefacts. What do you think?
