I have gone to a friends home to stay the previous weekend and around 6 we went for a walk in the near forest!!
My friend has told me that in the place where i took the photos , has been told that is ''haunted'' and at night u can see fairies in the river( and thats the reason why we went there for a walk and i took the photo)

I took 2 photos from the same place

the first one that u cannot see the white circle thing:


and the second one that u can see it!!!



I don't tell that is a spirit or fairy,but it seems strange to me and to my friends!!
So im waiting your answers!

It's a dust particle, out of focus caught in the flash. There is actually one in the first picture too, a little further away, just off centre in the top quarter of the picture.

Nothing unusual and quite common when flashes are used in taking a photo.

I agree, it doesn't look suspicious.

I've seen a couple of orbs in my family photos. Weird things, they are.

ok thanks for replying

Nice shots. The majority of people dont put much stock into orbs and rightfully so, as most have a rational explanation. However, I found the second photo interesting, due to the color and texture of that orb, and its location. It is in my opinion a spiritual orb, and it appears to be female, friendly and very sweet. Just MY opinion..JN

How can you tell that thing has a sex at all let a lone which one?

Its just a sense I get looking at it. It is a young female at that, who was murdered in that area..Of course I have no way to prove that, but thats my feeling..JN

What he said.

Fairy or not.....those are beautiful pictures.....I really like them......

If this is something unusual it is more possible to be a fairy,cause the place is full of these stories about Fairies staying at the river where the photo was taken, and crying!!!!
So if this is something it may be a fairy!!
I also can see a female as my friends too....

Sorry, I am not familiar with "fairies" but I somehow can sense orbs. This is a young female, who was murdered, but she doesnt seem to be crying, but sort of stuck there..She is around 16 or 17 from I sense. As I said, I dont know the history behind that location. Thanks..JN

You are wrong. She is 19, her name is Emily and she took her own life. She was a size 12, with red hair and she liked vanilla flavour ice cream with apple pie. When she was 11 she had a rag doll that she named Stacy, she loved that doll.

This is just my own opinion here and is not at all meant to reshape your own minds beliefs so forgive me if my opinion comes across and intrusive here:
For me I have to say that in viewing an orb or orbs in a photo image is due to A: a anomaly caused by a Minutely small droplet of moisture upon the camera leans or B: it is due to a dust particle as minutely small within the camera its self or upon the lens.

Now if the orb is visible with the naked eye it could be a visual floater with in the eyes vision process, but if it this orb is in fact a Paranormal or spirit, and if this orb or event is witness by a second party or more, then I would have to ask if it was in fact accompanied at the time of the event but a inner primal fear reaction, such as hair upon your neck standing up, and especially if the event is outside and the air is moist and lacking a high static charge which would be say upon a Hot Summer night.

Now if while you were there and while you were taking the Photo, it may have been a creepy place or setting but besides that I would ask this of you, did you have any emotional swings or oddities while there and did you notice any sudden drops in temperature at all, say a colder spot or a freezing spot as you walked along? And as for Fairy I am not sure if however it would be a very interesting question to ask any witness of fairies or other beings not normal in our world as seeing these, if there was any temperature variations while their events accrued. And I know I am putting out here a lot of scientific investigative tone into my writing but at no means am I implying that I am closed minded and do not believe peoples paranormal visions and experiences, I am very open minded here, I am just being a very analytical thinker at the moment. Good luck upon your future searches…Take care Pavot

I would agree that it is just a dust particle. If you look closely at the center , the part that people are saying it looks ike a woman , follow the tree branch from the bottom of the ' orb ' through the top , you can see that it is actually the tree behind it.

Some people sense certain things differently that's all.

My opinion...NOT DUST. Could be moisture due to the creek it is just above.

I personally don't think it is strong enough or bright enough to be categorized as a true orb (circular mass of energy). Just my opinion.

How u can recognize that what u see is an orb and not something else (ex.dust) ??

dust partical my friend thats all it is.

My thoughts exactly. I don't get the fascination with orbs in photos.



You've got to be kidding...

Now would I kid you? I agree that the majority of orbs in photos are due to reflection, moisture, dust etc. However, certain ones seem to be of the paranormal. That is my opinion and Im stickin to it..JN

That's a lot different then looking at the pic and claiming it is the spirit of a x-year old girl that was killed in the area and she is now stuck there.

And I do believe in spirits, but I find it ridiculous you would look at the picture shown here and make such a claim.

I'm openminded enough to believe spirits could even come in the form of orbs, but about 99.9% of every orb photo I see appears to be very easily explained.

As I said it looks like moisture from the creek below.

The image and shape of that particular 'orb' is consistent with either a dust particle or perhaps moisture hanging in the air. More likely it is a random dust particle, since when moisture hangs in the air, there tends to be many more 'orbs.' I've seen these kind of photo's very often.

However, the 'orb' is transparent enough that you can see the trees and branches behind it, alluding to the viewer that there could be something 'in' the 'orb.'

I think the difference between you and me is, I see orbs with the naked eye. So with that said, I can read certain things regarding them, that most people cant. Orbs (except camera issues) are nothing more than balls of spiritual and psychic energy IMO and that one stands out to me. I am allowed to have my opinion and that is it. Sorry you find it ridiculous..JN

Yes, true. The moisture ones do tend to be all over the pic... the water there just was my first instinct.... night, flash, creek, moisture.

Just as a reference for other people, this is what moisture hanging in the air looks like.



That's also what fog looks like at night with a flash camera. When it comes to moisture, there is always more than one 'orb' hanging around, usually dozens. If I were to increase the contrast on this particular picture, more 'orbs' would be visible.

-Akaebeel

Its a dust particle, or a camera abnormality.

Pictures like this are usually dust that is very close to the lens being caught in the flash of the bulb... If you go outside pretty much anywhere at night and take a few pictures while moving around, you're gonna get them... Nothing to worry about.

I understand the orb debates and as I said, I agree a good portion are moisture, dust, reflections etc. So last night I decided to try something. As I said, I see orbs with the naked eye. I was in bed and saw a bluish one dancing all over the place. Most of my orbs tend to hang around by the ceiling in the corner of the room. So took my camera and watched it, but it was too fast. I finally asked it to stay still and I got a shot. NOW most of you will think its dust, or whatever, but I know what it is. I have a grounded male spirit here, named John and he smokes in my bedroom and its so gross, so I tell him to knock it off. I can take one step and dont smell it, and then two steps and it nearly knocks me out. Sometimes there is the smell of alcohol but I dont drink so again I tell him to take it outside lol..Many sensitives and psychics pick up on him immediately,but he harmless just has some bad habits. There is also a face way down below that, and its not part of the woodwork. Thoughts, dare I ask? LOL..JN

Well, this isn't the case at all with this photo, but does anyone ever notice that any photo put up on here is almost immediately dismissed? Sure, some photos such as this one can most certainly be put away to collect dust, but...

Cool pic hon =). But what is the white line going through it?

I wondered that myself. Now on the shelf I have some important paperwork, and I thought it was a piece of paper. I just looked again and nothing is hanging down!! So, I have no clue. What do is look like to you Sweetie? JN

I agree, every orb photo IS dismissed immediately. The one posted earlier with hundreds of orbs are obviously moisture, and not perfectly round, with sort of a pattern and texture to them. I do believe in paranormal orbs, and fortunately I have the ability to catch some, every now and then. This one I sent out to a few paranormal sites and was told that Yellow Orbs are a warning, and I found out the next day thats exactly what it was..JN

It kinda seems like a more concentrated part of energy or maybe a seperate energy that was passing through/by it. Oh, wait! I know! It was a toenail clipping flying through the air! Lol! (picturing you with clippers in one hand and the cam in the other! Now that's talent!)

LMAO Yes I always clip my nails at 1:30 in the morning in the dark. I am nocturnal, and do have claws, did I fail to mention that? I will take another pic tonight, cause all I have to do is call on him, even tho I dont like to..Nothing nicer than waking up coughing from someone smoking, when one is alone, in bed. That didnt sound right, but you know what I mean? JN

I agree with you JN that is definitly an energy orb. Just by the texture and color, I am very sensitive when it comes to ghosts, my mom thinks I'm a medium lol.

Thank you Goddess, I am sensitive to them as well. Maybe you are a medium, good luck.. JN

I know that JN is psychic, she has given me messages before. If she "sees" someone in that orb, then I am inclined to believe it is a paranormal orb (even though I would normally blow it off as dust or moisture). I also know that JN sees orbs at her house, and has sent me pictures of unusual orbs that she saw with her eyes and took a picture of. These look different to me than most orb pictures, the eyeball one, for instance, lol. So, JN, if that is an orb you saw with your own eyes and you took a picture, all I can say is, "Hello John"

Thanks JN... , maybe I can tell you about the time I went to the Halifax Waterfront with my god-father (he was a security guard there) all night...talk about haunted... :S

LOL Thanks SOL..I have a ton of the eyeball ones, and heard they were spirits wrapped in ectoplasm. I have heard about this man in my house for a long time. Apparently he was a "ladies man" (EWWW) and lived here over a hundred years ago. He smoked like 3-4 packs of Camels a day, and drank some and died of lung Cancer. I was told by many he was grounded here, and protects me, but also grosses me out LOL..If I tell him to show himself, I get an orb. That is not a room I want to mess with, if you get my drift? I wish I could get a last name to research it, but not yet. He is here all the time, and so is an older woman, who I believe "might" be your Mom, but she mostly visits. She doesnt smoke, she sends me lilacs and messages..((MOM)) This photo not only has ugly faces but an eyeball orb LOL.WHO ARE THEY? JN

COOL, I love haunted places, and I live in one. I just cannot tolerate negative entities..PM me or tell your experience..JN

with sort of a pattern and texture to them.

I have seen many "Orbs" that have had a similar, almost identical 'texture' and pattern and shape to them. I have taken the liberty of hacking up several orb photo's I have found on this site, as well some of my own and I have crudely put them together, to show the people here what I see with these "orb" photo's.



They all have a similar shape, and they all have the exact same outer ridge on them. Now, logic *must* dictate that these orbs have been created in a similar fashion, simply because they look identical to one another. The only thing that various with these "orbs" is the size and color of them. But they all retain the same shape, and they all retain that outer ridge (Granted it's hard to see that ridge in some of these photo's) and they all retain a similar level of transparency. (which is difficult to ascertain in this particular picture, which I have entitled "Ode To Thine Fluffy Dust Bunny")

Since these "orbs" retain the same texture inside and outside homes/businesses/buildings, I am forced to conclude that these are dust particles. Since dust is located everywhere, both inside and out, it is logical to ascertain that is what these are.

Now, I am not saying that all 'orbs' is nothing but moisture/dust. But a good majority of it is, from what I have seen nothing more than a random small particle flying on the wind. I have seen far too many photographs of these exact 'orbs' in dusty/dirty places, both inside and out. In graveyards, in the country side, in rooms, in storage units, in bedrooms, in living rooms, on the side of the road, in a field, I've managed to net these specific looking 'orbs.'

But, that's my opinion, and I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong.

-Akaebeel

LOL You're wrong!!! JN

My thoughts? I see no face in your picture. I do see where one might see a face in the woodwork (as you've stated). Sounds to me like pareidolia. Here's an article you may find interesting on the subject: Pareidolia


Do you have any proof to back up your claim that Akaebeel is incorrect in his assessment?

Ok Epi has an excellent orb pic, JN's avatar is an excellent orb pic.... WOW and the yellow one. The opaqueness blows me away.

AKA- I truly think that must be an orb. Also, Aren't orb's just forms of energy too? What if a spirit, or whatever, doesn't have enough energy to fully materialize? This is a sincere question. What or how do we know how to differentiate the two? What about something like this?

To orb or not to orb:




Thoughts? Thanks Jody

Oh yes I forgot AKA: Do you have any orb pic's to share with us? Pleeeeeeeeeeeez?? Thanks

wow the orb is really very clear.

I agree that this 'breed' of orb with the ring patteren seems to be the most common type around dust prone areas. It's also interesting to see a collection of them side by side like this I think the majority of orbs can be explained by dust/pollen/moisture, but theres that few that can't. The kind that interest me the most are the shapeless or misty type 'blobs' . I may have to pull up an old pic I've posted a few times in the past to show what I mean.

OMG, that signature pic...Eeeeek

Very Good

I was kidding with Akaebeel, and I think he knows that. I know the P word, and not a stranger to it, but thanks anyway. I guess you have to live here, and see and hear what I do, in order for it to make sense..JN
