Topic: Orbs
Orbs can be a tricky thingl and there are often many misconceptions about them. One of the things which make orbs so difficult, is the fact that in many cases perfectly natural occurances can easily be mistaken for orbs and commonly are. For example, the reflection of a spec of dust, the flutter of an inseect. or the reflection of light off of a mirror, window and other reflective surface can all resemble orbs particuarly on film.
In several cases a person might have a photo in which they think they have captured an orb when it is in fact just a partical of dust, or a moth and so on. It can be hard to identify a true orb
The other common misconception of orbs, is directly linking them to spirit activity. An orb in itself is not a spirit form, and is not an absolute indicator of the pressence of a spirit though the two can sometimes go together. It is not a determient.
As well there have been cases of people mistaking orbs for being evidence of faires, this is also false. orbs are not fairy creatures.
In face an orb initself might not be a truly supernatural occurance at all, they are not concious or sentient beings. All orbs are is a collection of energy and energy in of its itself is not paranormal but can be perfectly nature.
But it is true, that spirits sometimes draw some of the excesses energy which orbs produce and can sometimes use orbs to help themselves to manifest.
But one must be very careful when dealing with orbs so not to make any assumptions.
