You’ll see two possible anomalies in this video. One is an interesting orb. The other is something that might be an apparition.
The Joplin Paranormal Research Society (Missouri) don’t claim that the orb is a ghost. Of the two anomalies, I think the orb is more credible to someone who wasn’t there at the time.
The orb appears and then backs away. It’s clear and large, and the right shape and density to be interesting.
However, it might be something reflective that drifted in and was pushed back by… well, I wasn’t there. A fan could do it, a door opening and closing, someone moving abruptly enough to cause a slight breeze, and so on.
But, after my intensive research into orbs and how easy they are to fake (or mistake) with dust, moisture, reflections, etc… this orb could be paranormal.
On the other hand, the apparition looks like someone walking in front of the camera. It catches the light. It’s too solid.
That’s exactly what makes this credible. Unless the Joplin team are terrible investigators, had temporary amnesia, or are trying to promote a hoax, that figure is something paranormal.
(Yes, as the author of the popular article, Scams and Con Artists, I know that audacious lies fool us most often. Nevertheless, I’m taking this video at face value.)
Does the video show a ghost? Maybe.
I’m raising an eyebrow because — as I said earlier — it’s too solid. That doesn’t mean it’s fake, but I wouldn’t rule out other paranormal explanations.
And, for that reason, assuming this was a real anomaly, I’d be very cautious about returning to that location. It might be malicious.
All in all, this is an interesting video.
Originality (assuming it’s real)
Credibility (combined, of either anomaly – the orb or the figure)
