I am 13 yrs old and I juss moved into a new foster home and my new foster mom took a picture of me and my 2 year old brother.. and in the picture was a weird looking Orange orb.. I thought it was strange so I took more pictures and it started showing up strangly in everyone of them.. it was pretty big to.. now I'm trying to find out what it is.. Can anyone help or would anyone have some advice? Please write me back. Thanks

If you can upload a picture or 2 we can try to help you figure it out. Please do not upload any with people in it. So if you have any that doesn't have people but show the orbs upload them.

Normally orbs of a bright colour symbolize good, or the opposite of evil. So its really nothing to worry about. Orbs that follow you are also known to be your "guardian angel" , so really, you should be the opposite of nervous.

Tuffet, that is very untrue and at best superstition.
Dojad - it is very possibly that these orbs could be dust or any number of other airborne particles. As califdadof3 said, we may help more if you can post them on properly. But, that aside, first and foremost MOST orbs can be too easily explained to even offer as evidence for the paranormal. Unless something else strange is going on in the home, I would not look to the paranormal for the answers quite yet.

Dust particles or reflections off shiny surfaces are the most likely explanations of orbs. Pictures would be great to see.

Even light glare... it just isn't somethat on it's own that should be used for paranormal proof.

Orbs are very real and there is not one explanation for them. Some say they are consciousness manifested, little bits of energy floating around, guardian energies, or energies that are created from the area you are in. My daughter captures undeniable orbs in her photos all the time. Read Dr. Meg Losey's book - The Children of Now. Here's her orb site http://www.spiritlite.com/orbs.php

Umm Allone, what is that green thing on your dresser? (**Cough, cough**)

Aurora Bell - flashlight! Shame on you! :)

In that picture those are dust particles. They are not orbs.

I'm with califdad... I'm not saying that spirits cannot manifest in an orb shape... but to use only a photo with "orbs" in them as paranormal proof is just ridiculous.

I have to go with dust as well... I have plenty of pictures that look like that and I can recreate them easily.

Hehe OK, just checking!

I hate that I can never view pictures on here! I feel so left out!

Do you have java and flash installed?

Have you tried different browser?

Yeah, I've tried both... for the life of me this is the only website I have problems with as far as viewing a posted picture.

Hauntinghelper... I think you have pictures disabled on this site.

Switch to the old skin, go to "my profile" then look down the left side for "edit options" and select it. Scroll about half way down and you will see "Thread Display Options" and in that section you will see a box labeled "Visible Post Elements". Make sure you have checked "Show Images" and then scroll to the bottom and click on "Save Changes".

I hope this helps you to see pics.

When I go to select Edit Options it says I do not have sufficient privileges to do that. Odd...

HH, PM Ben and he should be able to help you out with that. He's a miracle worker :D

Ha, thanks guys... sorry the discussion got off track. Go back to orbs now :D

I have a cool orb picture. It was on my baby shower and I was holding the first purse my nannie ever received from her husband when they came to Canada (they lost everything during WW2). I really like believeing it's an orb. Now I was 9 months pregnant and the pic is not the most flattering, so please only look at the orb! Lol

Try taking the protective lens cover off your cameras. They are air bubbles caught in the protective lens. Or it could be a light glare. If it is in every one of your pictures, it can't be a UFo, it's something wrong with your picture or camera. It is just to common. Is the "orb" in the same place evey time? Either way, its not anything unordinary. AllOne's picture is just air bubbles in a protective camera or phone cover. No unordinary force behind it. Good luck! :)
P.S. Seeing a orb once or twice flying weirdly is one thing and it being in a picture all the time is another.

That is not air bubbles under a protective lens cover... it's dust. I'm fairly sure that they would be smart enough to remove the plastic cover on their lens.

Have your parents passed? Is that why you are in foster care? Just wondering, also make sure the lens of the camera is clean.
