Orb photo I took myself.

For years I have been watching my cameras for orb photos, hoping that one day I would get something, but up until a few months ago, I have never gotten anything.

I moved into a new apartment, and a few days later, I started to feel like there was a presence in the apartment, almost like things coming and going, so I took a few pictures. I got orbs.

Now I know most people will blow this off as dust or light reflections, but the feelings that came with these photos are what is important to me. I knew something was there. Perhaps it is just light reflections and dust though, I dunno. Anyways, pick away at this photo for me if you will. I make no claims other than my camera picked up this picture, and a few more that night.

Im no expert but I reckon there could be some type of residue on the lens!

It is possible.

Do you have more photos?

What I find odd is the repeated pattern of the "orbs" .

looks similar:

I do, but I would have to modify them to post them because it is a picture of my daughter standing with no orb, and then with an orb, so I would have to blur her face.

Not residue on the lens, it is lens flare.

Look at the ceiling fan and lighting fixture.

The 3 'hot spots' on the gold fixture and the glass on the light exactly match up with the three orbs your photo is showing. Either the flash from the camera, or another light source is reflecting off of the ceiling fan/fixture and hitting the lens of the camera capturing these 'orbs.'

I'm afraid you have captured dust particles reflecting light from the camera flash. HOWEVER, that does not mean that you do not have paranormal activity there. I would try some other techniques, like EVP recording or the "flashlight trick" that Amy uses on Ghosthunters.

Orbs that can not be debunked have certain characteristics. For example, they give off their own light - it's not reflective. They can also streak leaving a trail or you can not see through them.

That was one of my conclusions. The only problem I had with that was I couldn't make it happen again. I tried, but that night was the only night I got anything like orbs. I ended up taking about 4 or 5 orb photos. I have never been able to do it before, or sense. *shrug* And I have tried to repeat standing in the same places with the same lighting etc, and nothing.

I am not saying that these are not reflections, only that I came from that angle myself and could not repeat it.

dust, water droplets, marks on lens... orbs are not ghosts

Yup , it is dust. To test this take a flash photo of your sofa. Now pat sofa hard a few times , and take another picture. The second picture will have many more orbs in it.

Had photo's with the same "orbs", went into the our sun room and smacked the spare bed & orb city. I do believe these phenomena are dust particles lit up by camera flash.

But I have captured an orb that was self lit, up in the sky & its light reflected off the clouds.
I will upload a photo and post a link to the video sometime after I can make threads.

Edit: Here is one of the frames captured from the video


Keep searching & keep an open mind OP

Actually, it's dust. And I can tell you exactly where it's coming from. It's very difficult to notice in the picture but if you look really really closely you might notice that there is actually a woman with a broom. She's sweeping what looks like a dusty bare concrete floor which will throw the dust up into the air. Like I said though, you really have to look at the picture closely to notice the woman sweeping up because it's not obvious at all.

Who knows maybe you caught a real orb. I have seem orbs twice. Both times yellow balls giving off a blue hue of colour.

Take some dust and drop it in front of the camera.. you will see dust

Take some dust and drop it far away from the camera and you will see orbs

You can also look up at the stars and see little orbs that are really balls of fire.

With a camera? Dust can be more than 1 color. I want to believe.. but am too scared to ask an empty room questions and actually get a response

No what I saw was not with a camera it was about ten metres infront of a stationary car. About the size of a large side plate. Yellow/white colour orb giving off a blue hue. Maybe a 3 foot off the ground and traveling slowly over the road then across the moors. Twice I have seen that in the same place and both times had a someone in the car with me or I would have questioned it myself afterward..

So I know these things are real. I have seen them with my own eyes. I dont know if what the OP is real, but after seeing what I saw I keep an open mind...

To those who ask why bother posting, well, I need something to do!

That and I thought they were cool. Even if it is light or dust.

Boredom...lol

And I am not afraid to admit it!
