Paranormal Files: Orbs - What are they?

Orbs are circular light anomalies that vary in size and color and can be seen by the naked eye as well as appearing in photographs and video. Often times, insects, dust or a camera's lens flare can be mistaken for Orbs. While I have seen a swarm of insects or dust flying around in a photo or on video, they were easily debunked as natural phenomena. However, in my personal experiences, I have seen Orbs that showed clear intelligence in their purposeful movements and clear appearance and interaction while questions were being asked directly to whatever Spirits may be present during paranormal investigations.

I started seeing Orbs when I was a young girl in my childhood home and was fortunate enough to have a father that not only understood these phenomena, but would also see them himself. At first I was afraid, but with my father's guidance, I learned that the beautiful spheres of light were simply visiting Spirits, perhaps former inhabitants of our old home, and were not there to harm me in any way. He said they visited often because they knew we could see them. I began to look forward to their presence, speaking to them like family members when they appeared and danced in front of me.

No matter where I have lived or visited, I have seen what I refer to as my "friends" the Orbs. Most recently on a visit to Bannack State Park Ghost Town in Montana, I was able to catch an Orb in a photograph. of my husband standing in front of one of the buildings where he was taking a photo of his own. See original photo as well as close-up below:

The day was somewhat cloudy and overcast, so there wasn't a chance of a lens flare on my phone camera, and particularly not in the area of the photo where the Orb was captured. While I didn't see the Orb when I was taking the photo, I had seen a few while venturing upstairs a few moments earlier in the building pictured which served as a schoolhouse and a Masonic Temple. Bannack State Park Ghost Town is definitely worth a visit and is one of my favorite places in Montana. It is full of the Spirits of those who once resided there, and they certainly make themselves known.

In my work as a Medium, I have most definitely encountered Orbs during in-person live readings as well as seeing Orbs on camera around my clients during online sessions. I have also been part of paranormal investigations where Orbs have been captured in photos and on video. I truly believe they are Spirits that choose to show themselves and communicate in this way.

If you've had any experience with Orbs, I'd love to hear about them. Don't hesitate to comment on this post or reach out to me. Until next time - many blessings.
