but deserves a thread of it's own. Again, I'll copy what I put else where here to get it started. :)

Orbs are believed to be energy that indicate the presence of a spirit (not talking angels or anything religous by using the term "spirit"). Everything in the universe, of course, is made up of energy, and ghosts are no different. They need to manifest energy in order to appear, and thats also where cold spots come from, but thats another discussion.
These orbs you see could be spirits, but in my experience, it's rare to see them with the naked eye. they usually show up in pictures but are difficult to see with the naked eye. Now Shadow ghosts and apparitions are a different story but again, thats for another topic.
As William stated, it could be something else all together. There is a theory about microscopic black holes on earth and then there's the portal, or door way, to alternate universes....so who knows. haha.
I'm not tryin to be difficult and not answer the question...but defining ghosts beyond a shadow of a doubt is next to impossible as our technology is just unable to prove their existence absolutely.
I will include stories/pix and maybe even some EVP's and stuff from some of the ghost hunts I've been on for people to see and talk about.
and trust me, i'm NOT offended if someone doesnt believe, so hold nothing back if there is something to say. :)
Since you seem somewhat knowledgeable about orbs and such, I will repost a picture of one that I took in my backyard. This is one of my favorite pictures that I took of an orb (we have quite a few in our backyard...I've been told it is because we live near a cemetary.) What do you think this is and where do you think it came from?
Hi...it's really impossible to tell from this picture...can you post or email me the original? I'd be more than happy to examine it for you and give you my opinion. :)
This is the original... You can just see the top of our fence in the bottom of the picture. The picture was taken with my digital camera in the dark (no lights on in our backyard at the time).
I couldn't see what I was taking pictures of at the time, I was just pointing the camera at random and clicking. I do that every once in a while just for the h*** of it. :nod:
Seeing orbs with the naked eye a rarity?? Really? I've seen quite a few including Bailey's. I understand that photos showing "orbs" need to be carefully studied as usually it is dust particles or moisture but I don't know what your pic is of DT.I've never seen an orb like that.
:eek:
That is certainly an interesting picture. My first impression is that it is a digital artifact of some kind, because of the multi-color strangeness. Perhaps some other device, such as a cell phone, is the cause. The rounded, fuzzy edges make you wonder.
If that is the only picture of it, and it dind't turn up in any others, that would tend to support the digital distortion idea.
But then, even the most skeptical of scientists will tell you that there are bits of dark matter everywhere, and that they don't know what it is yet.
Maybe the picture is a Gay Borg ship. Rainbow cube. Resistance is futile, honey.
Merc, yes, really, I've not seen an orb with my naked eyes in my 12 years of ghost hunting nor has anyone I've personally spoken to. I read of very few accounts when someone said they've seen one either. If you notice, I said, and I quote, "but in my experience, it's rare to see them with the naked eye." MY EXPERIENCE. I dont claim to be the all knowing orb/ghost/evp guru and I only talk about what I have experienced. If I'm quoting someone else or an article somewhere, I'll put a link in or at least mention that it's someone elses opinion.
Would you be so kind as to go in to more detail with us about the orbs you've seen and explain what "Bailey's" is? Where were you? whats the story behind the haunting? how many other people saw it/them? did you get any pix? I'd love to hear your stories about orbs you've allegedly seen with your naked eyes and what Baileys is. I have no idea what you're talking about.
DreamTime....I'd ask you to take some more pix over your fence during the daytime and then post them or email them to me if you prefer. I copied your pic and looked at it with photoshop and it looks like the side of the cube facing to the right is reflecting light while the opposite (left side as you look at it) isnt too much so I think it's a natural object to be honest, but I'd need to see waht it looks like over your fence in the daylight before I can really give a 100% honest opinion on what I think it is.
Okay, I will try and remember to do that, Hambone. I havenââ¬â¢t taken any pictures in the back for quite a few months now. My dog gets freaked out when I turn off all the lights in the backyard.
Let me explain a little more about the picture I took and how I took it. Like I said, it was with my digital camera. I turn off all the lights in the backyard, and since we live in the country, it gets quite dark back there. There are no street lights (and no cell phones, BFBB). I was standing in the middle of the yard, so I was not snapping a picture ââ¬Ëoverââ¬â¢ the fence. I just turn around in a circle, snapping whenever I get the urge. It was about 2 in the morning, so none of the neighbors were awake with lights on (and besides, like I said, I live in the country so we do not have neighbors that close by). It was late fall, so there was no pollen floating around, nor were there any bugs.
If you search this site, there are a few other pictures of orbs that I caught in our backyard. I have noticed that orbs seem to follow my family around. Pictures that I take of my grandkids and/or daughters have orbs in them a lot of the times. Even pictures that my daughters take with their cameras catch the orbs ââ¬â so it is not just my camera. We have gotten so used to them by now that we just Photoshop or crop them out of the pictures. But sometimes that is just impossible to do. See the enclosed photo of my daughter and grandson.
Hambone, I am just shocked orbs being seen with the naked eye are a rarity as I have seen, as I mentioned quite a few. We had the orb Bailey's discussion back on June 21st in the Shadow Ghost thread. You might consider making a trip down to Angelton/ Bailey's Prairie sometime.
DT, I recently read something that described your "cube" like orb nearly perfectly.I meant to save it and send it to you but was distracted with something else and forgot. I'll try looking it up again. If I recall correctly this "cube" like orb was referred to as being"angelic" in nature.
In the pic you posted of a circular orb ( with the kidlet in the pic) that's the kind of orb I've seen. Some of them were more blue in color some more pink.
