Orbs are circled in red.

Diving in: Welcome 2014

The New Year is upon us and Archer Paranormal Investigations (API) is busy. We are booked through January. We ended 2013 with some very compelling evidence from private homes in and an apartment in Rome. We are heading back to Rome to debunk the orbs, EVPs, and anomalies we captured. So, I thought I opine on some of the evidence and paranormal theories.

What are Orbs?

Orbs are globular forms of light that sometimes appear in flash photography. Orbs can also be captured on video or digital cameras without a flash. Paranormal investigators believe that orbs represent spirits trying to manifest. Skeptics believe orbs are created by dust particles, condensation in the air, or by insects. Always note the atmospheric conditions when taking pictures so that you can discount these presumptions.

The divide is wide on where people stand on orbs. Basically, you’re on one side or the other. Please don’t comment if you are a skeptic. I get it. You don’t believe. However, the majority of you do believe. Below are pictures that API (http://archer-pi.com) has captured of orbs. Upon review, API always tries to debunk the orb as dust, water, etc. If we cannot ascertain the origins, then we try to link the orb appearance to our investigation. At times, the orbs appear when we are attempting to communicate with the spirits. Often, we are merely observing the location and the orbs just appear.

I’m most fascinated with pets that seem to see the orbs. I’m also interested when the orbs take on a globular form, as opposed to a circle, and look like they are interacting with the environment. In the end, I don’t know if we will ever have a definitive answer on what orbs are; however, I prefer to believe.

Pets seem to “see” the orbs.
