Some of us still proudly believe in Santa Claus, Father Christmas, St. Nick, and so on. They’re traditions, not myths. The distinction is important.

Seriously, I think I understand what you’re saying, but I disagree. When you take the “observer” influence into consideration, almost anything is possible.

Calling one person’s beliefs “myths” while claiming equally (or more) unproved phenomena is real… that doesn’t seem like a good argument.

I have experienced much unexplicable phenomena.It is real and It rattles your small-minded little cages.

Thanks for your report. In general, none of the orbs in my own photos show faces or figures… none that I find credible, anyway.

You don’t believe in ghosts, and so — when someone dies — God doesn’t allow them to visit their friends or family again?

I don’t mean to be argumentative, but that doesn’t work for me. I am entirely certain that my mother visited me — and woke me up from a sound sleep at 2 a.m. — shortly before the phone rang with a call saying that she’d passed away.

Her mother had visited her, the day my grandmother was buried.

Likewise, my grandmother’s mother visited her in spirit, the day my great-grandmother passed away.

Many people will share deeply moving experiences such as that. I don’t think any of them would accept your explanation that they’re “demons messing with people.”

In the Bible, I find passages such as I Samuel 28:15 in which Samuel returned from the other side: “And Samuel saith to Saul, Why hast thou troubled me, to bring me up?” And, in Mark 9:4, Elijah and Moses are seen talking with Jesus.

To me, that’s evidence of ghosts or spirits, and none of them were demons.

If an impenetrable wall between us and our loved ones brings you comfort, that’s fine. If you want to explain an orb as an insect or a natural EMF field, that’s fine, too. Both are possible, humanist explanations.

I prefer a spiritual view of this life and what follows. And, in that view, a very loving Deity is happy to let people check in on their loved ones, whether they make their presence known or not.

My son’s teacher took a classroom pic of my him, and there was an orb hovering above his left shoulder that appeared to have an electic charge inside resembling static eletricity. Could it be that the earths electromagnetic field, under the right conditions, can produce static electic charges that are picked up by photography and appear in the form of spheres?

I do not believe in ghost. I am a christian, so I do believe in angles and demons, and that they can make themselves visible. Ghosts can merely be demons messing with people, especially people who are facinated by the idea of ghosts, to confuse people about the prospect of a heaven and hell and to intice people into seeking the realm of the so called supernatural that is not supernatural at all, just something we don’t understand with our simple human intellect. Lucifer’s demons appear to us in the form of people past, as I believe angles can, to create a deversion from God. He said seeking these things is an abomination for a good reason. It invites demons in. Put on the shield of Christ, and they can not harm you, but they can tempt you and mess up your witness for God.
