Ghost Tour

[chihuahua]

So i went on a ghost tour and snapped a heap of photos strangely a couple of the photos that i snapped showed little light things. Sort of like reflection, but many of the spots wouldnt be reflective So what is it. Is this ghostly phenomenom

[chihuahua]

There are a couple of other pics as well from this same spot with these orb things in it. And it was only this spot that i got them
Was using a digital slr camera if that makes any difference

[chihuahua]

Here are a couple of other pictures from the same spot
One of the orb things appears in the bottom right of the picture, on the ground?? weird
ANd there is some reflection thing in the window. We arent sure what this as we dont remember what would have produced that sort of reflection, also reflections dont turn up in any of the other photos. So not sure what is going on there.

The other picture has an orb thingo at the top of a door. Those doors are all wood, it is an old property and the frames of the windows are wood. So who knows what we have captured here.

Our of probably 30 pictures that night, this is the only few that we get these anomolies in, and it was all in the same place. I got no idea of what to make of it.

I cannot check these out - am out and about with only an eeePC.  Can anyone shed light?

There is a site where you can pay to have photos analysed too if you want that - it's called Too Haunted!. 

Of course, the best anyone can give is a considered opinion based on their experience in both the paranormal field and in the world of photography (digital or otherwise), which may not always be what you want to hear.....

Orbs aren't paranormal. YOu might want to do a search on this forum on orbs or false positives.

Possibly a moth?

[chihuahua]

the tour guy kept saying that they get orb things and supposedly they are spirit energies or something.
I got no idea i jsut went on the tour as it seemed like something fun

[Christine]

Well they aren't. There are lost of logical explanations for orbs and people running tours really should educate themselves about such things to stop the flow of misinformation.

[GaryTheDemon]

they are paranormal freebies by which I mean that they are easily claimed by less reputable or less informed paranormal 'investigators' to be spirits or energy balls when in fact most (if not all) have obvious explanations. Usually moisture or dust. 

the continual pointing to orbs as paranormal phenomenon does nothing for the legitimate field of investigation.

That's my opinion.
 

[Christine]

Agreed.

Looks like an interesting old building chihuahua.  I can't quite read the name... 'something' place.   

Lots of tour guides talk about orbs, mostly because lots of people believe orbs are spirit entities.  I'd guess the reason for allowing people to think so is that people go on tours with expectation of snapping some paranormal photos - without realising that photographic evidence is something that paranormal investigators can take many visits to accomplish - if at all - and sometimes never do. 

From a business point of view, I suppose the tour guides think its better for people to go away with orb photos than be disappointed and go away without shots of anything paranormal.  I don't subscribe to that idea myself, but its probably safe to say that some paranormal tour organisers probably do.

This tour was in sydney on the rocks area

[GaryTheDemon]

I like my spirits on the rocks ...  but if I find orbs in the glass I turn ghostly white and them all hell breaks loose .....

Went on the Hot Spot tour on Fri 13th and captured this

 

Is this a face of a Ghost next my Friends

[GaryTheDemon]

it has a 'face' look to it, but is probably simulacra.  I could spend time on it and give you a more professional answer but it would require the original image file.
