Rev. Michael Beckwith Orb Photo

This is a photo of the Rev. Michael Beckwith (from The Secret) and my friend Gabriel taken recently. Note the orb floating to the left of Re. Michael’s head. It is possible the orb is just some sort of strange reflection…I’d like to think it’s an angel, hanging out with these human angels “Michael” and “Gabriel.”

“The Most Horrific EVP Ever Recorded”

The producer claims this is the “most horrific EVP ever recorded.” I can’t speak to that (not having heard every EVP), but this one is pretty scary. Recorded in an old hotel, this recording starts off a bit slow but has the strangest blood-curdling screams in the middle. Unfortunately, investigators were talking in the background while this was recorded, so it is hard to tell what is background noise and what are the EVPs. Spooky, nonetheless.

Sarah Palin “Crop Circle”

Just for fun - a manmade “crop circle” featuring Sarah Palin. The owner of the field described how it was made:

“We contracted with an artist in Idaho who drew the picture and entered it into a GPS system, flew in and cut it with a John Deer tractor,” Wheeler said. “It took him about 8-10 hours to cut it. We saw it from the helicopter it’s just a great image of her. I think she’d be proud.”

Little Ghost Girl EVP

As you are watching this, you may be tempted to think that it is just a kid playing outside. The producer of this video claims this is not the case. Watch to the end for a creepy finale to this EVP tale.

Orb in Antique Photo

Glenn Skinner from upstate New York shared this photo and writes:

I buy antiques all the time.This photo was in a photo album I
recently purchased.It is my opinion that this is hands down, the best
paranormal / Orb photo that I have ever seen. This dates to the
1920’s. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Glenn, I love the photo. Thanks for sharing. I think it debunks that idea that orbs only show up on digital cameras. I find it especially fascinating that the orb seems to have some sort of tail, like a comet.

Here’s the orb close up:

More Skeptics on Orbs

I don’t blame people for being skeptical about orbs - if you haven’t experienced the strange and unexplained yourself, you may have a hard time believing other people who have. The Orb Zone that suggests that all orbs are dust particles. I have reason to believe otherwise (and a good story to share later), but it’s certainly likely that some orbs are indeed dust or raindrops. That doesn’t mean they all are, however.

Here’s an Interesting Theory on Orbs

Are orbs an actual spirit or are they something else? One theory considers that the orb may be a side effect of the spirit, not the spirit itself. Consider the following from Dave Juliano’s article, “What are Orbs?”:

One of the leading theories concerning what orbs are and the one that I lean towards the most is that they are not the spirit at all. The orb is the energy being transferred from a source (i.e. powerlines, heat energy, batteries, people, etc) to the spirit so they can manifest. This may not even be a conscious thing the spirit is doing, just a natural way they get their energy. This would explain why the orbs are round balls. According to the laws of Physics energy being transferring like that would assume is natural shape of a sphere. This theory can also be tied into the EMF readings we get during spirit activity.

Hm. That is an interesting theory indeed. But then I must ask: If the orb is actual energy such as heat or electricity, shouldn’t we be able to measure it with standard electrical equipment? That no-one has apparently done this makes me think the “energy” involved is more of the “chi” variety than the electrical variety.

Orbs as UFOs?

I think a distinction should be made between orbs that get caught on camera and the flying “orbs” that are sometimes reported by UFO enthusiasts. I’m open to the idea of UFOs being “alien” in origin, but my personal feeling is that the orbs caught on camera are spiritual in nature, whereas the orbs seen flying around are a different type of energy. In this video, we see some orbs in the sky, which were apparently identified later as “Chinese lanterns” released to float in the atmosphere. You decide for yourself:

Why Are Orbs In Graveyards?

I always wondered why a ghost would want to hang around a graveyard. After all, it’s dark and spooky there at night. Some suggest that souls don’t stick around their bodies like that…but if that’s the case, why do so many find orbs popping up on their graveyard photos? Are they ghosts or some other spiritual energy?

I tell ya…if I end up being a ghost, I’m not going to hang around a graveyard. There’s too much else to see in the world…the pyramids in Egypt…the Great Wall of China…Johnny Depp in the shower.

Strange Fog in Savannah Graveyard

I used to live across the street from a cemetery and I regularly took photos there, hoping to catch a ghost or two. Nothing. No fog, no orbs, no strange lights. (I did only go in the daytime.) These folks, however, got a shot of some very ghostly fog in a Savannah Graveyard:
