Ghostly Happenings

I always read with interest stories about orbs.  They’ve been explained away by debunkers as dust particles or crud on a photographer’s lens.  Personally, I have some interesting orbs and streaks of colored light photos from the Brick Yard in Gettysburg.  Recently, a story appeared on the Examiner.com, referred to as “When Orbs Attack .”

This particular story about orbs took place at the Hotel Reiger in Sandusky, Ohio.  A paranormal investigation was being conducted by INPR ( In Nomine Paranormal Research), a group based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Many orbs were observed in this building, which last was used as a rest home.  On the fifth floor, it was used as a place to put patients as they were dying.  The freight elevator would then take the dead patients to their final destination in the building, the morgue in the basement.

While investigating the building, researchers snapped photos of the orbs, and even caught some on video.  This is where the attack portion of the story takes place.  One orb heads directly at the camera man and then makes his camera do a funky warp view before dissipating.  Was this orb a spirit that didn’t want its resting place disturbed?  If so, it is the first “attack orb” caught on video.

I’m not sure where I stand on the orb thing myself.  I have caught numerous ones on camera, and I’m fastidious about cleaning my camera equipment.  I can’t explain the crazy colored lights I catch on film every time I visit Gettysburg either (i’ll post the most recent ones taken on campus tomorrow).

If anyone has thoughts on this, please feel free to share.  In the meantime, catch this video of the attack orb here:  Orb Attack .
