Ghost Orbs in Leap Castle, Ireland
Posted by stephanie on June 28th, 2008 filed in Ghosts, Orbs, PhotosLeap Castle (pronounced “Lep”) is said to be the most haunted castle in Ireland. I remember watching a TV documentary about this place some years ago. There is a dungeon called an “Ubliet” there, which is more of a hole that they throw people in to die. Very sad and scary. I found some amazing photos of this castle, complete with the requisite ghost orbs, at The World Unknown:

i laughed when i read about the orbs in leap castle. i have actually been to this place and in every picture i took of the “bloody chapel” i had “orbs” aka dust. the floor of this upstairs tower is all hay so there is a lot of dirt an dust. far from ghost orbs. im sorry to burst anyones bubble but the orbs are def not ghosts. The place is very cool and the owners of the place are fantastic people though. i recommend a visit for anyone in the area.

I went to the linked website. The guy who wrote that story is not saying they are orbs or ghosts or whatever. He is simply showing the pictures, giving the background, describing the “dust” phenomenon, and letting the reader decide for themselves.
People like Thomas make weird comments without even reading the articles. He needs to get over himself.

But good post, Stephanie. Thanks for the link.

I too, like Thomas, get a bit exhasperated at the overuse of the term “orb” when refering to paranormal investigating. While there is such a thing, this and about 98% of orb pic’s out there, is just dust. In this particular image you can tell by:
1. The “orbs” get brighter the closer they get to direct path of the light, so it reflects more. An actual genuine orb has to emit it’s own light, and if caught on video or series of stills, it has to have a random flight pattern not following wind, drafts, or be caused by movement in a room. Bugs can often be mis-identified as “orb’s” too….
2. Actual orbs are pretty rare, so getting 15 billion in one pic, yeah, that’s dust. and…
3. Any self respecting paranormal investigator would question any “orb” image to begin with, but especially in an area of ruins, no windows and potential for wind to stir the environment.
Reguardless, I am completely fascinated with the area and location and hope to visit soon! Thanks for the plug about the hospitality, Thomas!

Thomas,
Although I might agree with you on the dust, don’t act like that was your idea. The post referenced makes it clear that’s what the author believes as well.
You laugh at others by saying the same things as them. That doesn’t make you too bright.
