These are not ghost orbs

I wish I could say that these nice, clear orbs are evidence of ghosts. In this photo, the night looks clear, the wall in the foreground appears crisp (even in ISO 800 film), and so on.

Unfortunately, this picture was taken earlier on the same night as the photo in This is not a Ghost Portal. This photograph and the one below, were taken at about 4:30 p.m. and the not-a-portal photo was taken at about 9:30 p.m. on the same night. The weather was very different at the two sessions, but it was still a damp night.

Here’s a second, very convincing photo from the early, drier part of the evening:

Yes, that one looks like any of the “real” orb photos at this site. However, when the air is damp — as you can see in the not-a-portal picture — you have to discount all of the other photos taken within several hours.

And yes, a less-scrupulous or “green” ghost hunter might post these pix and claim that they’re ghosts. Who would know the difference, unless the researcher was honest enough to say that it was a damp night?

These are fakes. These orbs are created by nature, not by ghosts, as far as we know.

I wish these photos showed ghostly orbs. This is an amazingly haunted cemetery at Gilson Road in Nashua, New Hampshire. (See my Gilson Road Cemetery pages for genuine ghost photos.)

However, no matter how crisp these two photos (above) look, I just don’t know if those are “real” orbs or not. So — until someone finds a way to analyze these photos better — they’re in my file of false anomalies.
