Not a ghost photo – Portsmouth NH

When a photo is most likely not an anomaly, we’re usually the first to indicate it, even when it’s one of our own photos, and one that we’d love to claim as a “ghost.”

Here are two photos that appear to show the abrupt appearance of a dramatic orb or series of orbs:

first photo, no anomalies

second photo, “orbs” are probably a bug or something in the wind

It’s not. In fact, there are no real anomalies in these two photos.

The reflection from the bug probably caused the oval orb in the lower left area of the photo; it’s very faint, but the classic oval “bug shape” that we talk about often.

The fact remains: If it might be something that we can explain, we have to discount an apparent anomaly.

And, in this case, we have enough genuine anomalies from this location to compensate for the “probably not” illusions.
