Para-InvestigationsPara-Investigations Text Box: What are Orbs??? We have taken thousands of photos over the years and we have only ever seen orbs when carrying out paranormal investigations! Orb is the popular name given to typically circular anomalies appearing in photographs. In Spanish language they're commonly referred as canoplas. In photography and video, orbs appear to be balls, diamonds, or smears of light with an apparent size in the image ranging from a golf ball to a basketball. Orbs sometimes appear to be in motion, leaving a trail behind them. Text Box: Dust in the camera We regularly have a group of investigators photographing the investigation and most train their cameras on the same area. We have seen orbs moving from one position to another all caught on different cameras, so this should eliminate the dust in the lens, on the lens and within the camera body?? Text Box: Dust in the air Dust in the air is very easy to see. If you have ever used a light projector in a dark room you will see thousands of tiny particles floating in the air. One must be very careful when examining a photograph not to jump to the orb conclusion. Dust on a photo is normally very faint and transparent; I have found that orbs tend to be very bright and nearly solid. Text Box: Flies or spiders This is a common mistake when looking for orbs. A tiny fly in a flash can look like an orb but the fly on the photo is normally very faint and transparent. Text Box: Camera processing errors The old 35mm cameras had there film developed in different locations and used different film so that is very unlikely.  We use digital cameras to take photos on our investigations and therefore have eliminated this problem of processing. One theory is that digital cameras could be corrupting the picture when processing the image, but our experience has shown that when errors occur in digital photos the objects tend to be a square pixel not round like an orb? Text Box: Who knows what orbs are? We have listed above all the recent theories and our take on them. It allows the paranormal investigator to rule out common faults such as dust, flies and spiders. It is really up to you to decide whether orbs are natural or sprit? Text Box: What are Orbs We have listed below our opinions on what orbs are and what causes fake orbs.
