Title: Orbs...spirit or dust

Orbs, what can I say about them, acually nothing much. I really don't know enough about orbs to know which ones are spirits and which ones are dust.

I have done some expermenting with my camera to see if I can tell the diffrence between them. I have tryed shaking a dust cloth in the air and take a few photos as they slowly disapair. I have tryed rain drops, I took photos of a light drizel out side and I found though these were more solid then the dust they still look like spirit orbs that are moving. I looked how they were structured how round or flat they were and still I couldn't see much of a diffrence.

After my study I felt depressed, where the orbs I took spirits or just dust? I was telling job my problem and how I felt about it. he said something that really made me feel better.

To really tell if they are dust or spirit you really need to know the condictions which the photo was taken. We talked about the night shots I have taken of the church/school house.

The path leading to the church/school is over grown and grassy. I had to walk some distance to get to it. Was it likely that I had picked up dust and spread it around? The answer is no. So was the orbs I had picked up that day dust or spirit?

I belive they were spirits.

The photos in the fort, where they dust or spirits. Well that is a toss up. I do feel some were spirits and some were dust.

My point is that it is hard to tell at least for me it is. But showing my photo to someone and having them tell me oh that is just dust, or water or what ever. How can another person really say unless they were there when the photo was taken.

I guess we will know for sure when we become an orb ourselves........

Here is a link to an article on orbs. I found it interesting.

I hope I didn't discurage anyone on orb photos. That wasn't my intension. Orbs are still fun to find. And until we really know for sure, they just might be a spirit.

this is good reading on orbs here ..
The truth about orbs
It states that most of not ALL orbs are dust /rain
they built a device that fits over the end of a camera keeping dust at least 6 inches fromthe end of the video camera
DEVA (dust elimination video aparatus)
most houses do have dust .. but i have never got a dust orb taking pics at my house......kinda puzzling actualy

My opinion is that noe single piece of evidence stands up on its own anyways so i would need at least one other colaberting evidence to go with a photo of an orb

I have been doing an experiment myself. About a week ago we got a white tube with 3 orbs coming out of the end, this was on a Sunday evening. I wish I could post it on here but I have not figured out how to do this!! grrr Anyways I took photos in the same room at the same time for about a half hour, 7 out of 10 had at least one orb on it. I did this every night since and nothing. Now would you say I just had dust in the room on two nights that week or what? No orbs since, even if I try to make them. Any opionion appreciated.

I think most orbs are dust. In the case of the Ft. that would be easy to believe. The place was dusty to the max not to mention had fires burning in open fireplaces - so ashes etc were scattered around. Although I don't believe that every orb is just dust/moisture etc. Some of them are balls of energy. But a ball of energy doesn't necessarily mean a spirit. The frustrating part about orbs is not the argument of whether or not any of them are 'anything' but the fact that you never really know what it might be - even if it's not dust.
