Orbs are an interesting paranormal activity that has been questioned many times by scientists, skeptics or paranormal enthusiasts. If you are unsure of what Energy Orbs are, they are usually small amounts of energy floating around that is easily caught on film. When referred to in paranormal, it is these lights in question, but ones that move in non dust formations.
Image Above – Orb at the knee – Be open minded when it comes to some Orbs, most of the time it is dust yet if they move randomly and seem to change shape or turn corners, maybe it is paranormal..?
Some say this energy is simply dust particles in the air reflecting off light and I am sure 99% are, yet the ones that don’t move like dust are the ones in question. The experience can be lights circling around, which almost indicates some type of proven intelligence.. More likely then insects then, but why is it light..? That does not make sense?
The interesting movements alone, is what makes me think some of these Orbs are a paranormal phenomena. I know sometimes it is just dust in amongst these but it is the ones that drift in strange ways that are to look for.
Let’s look at it like they are Paranormal Energy in this Post
In order to fully understand anything you have to look at all theories when it comes to paranormal. These below are three theories I am working on for the better Understanding of Orbs.
1. ) One is they are simply energy movements, movements caused by thought, atoms and the energy of life as it flows through the world. As I have mentioned in many previous posts thoughts are very powerful and can be projected long distances.
2. ) Two is they are Spirits indicating spirits are literally everywhere. To those that see spirits this fits the profile perfectly and any spirit expert should be able to help confirm this theory.
3. ) Three is they are Faeries (fairies) or earth elemental that many old cultures believe in. This would support theories of sprite and faerie activity in the world. They simply are orbs.. True or false..?
Now let’s look with a Skeptic view..
1. ) One they are movements of wind and dust particles reflecting off light. This one makes sense yet why sometimes in very dusty places there is no orbs, even when trying to create the effect with light..?
2. ) They are illusions created by some video cameras. Okay this theory is ridiculous, if the lights are moving around in wierd ways it does not indicate dust, this one needs to be stopped, orbs have been created on any type of camera. Some Orbs are just dust, others are moving not like dust okay.. They just happen, many tests have been done on this one to prove this one is simply not true..
3. ) Insects.. What the..? Okay, okay insects of light, insects of paranormal light or..? Insects would make sense if insects were in fact paranormal but they are not. Next time you catch what you think is an Orb and then you think it is an insect, try touching the Orb.. It almost seems to pass right through us.. I understand some may be insects dragging spider webs or the like but please just look at the Orbs next time to confirm this.
Okay so anyway, that is three theories for and three against, as you can see I am very much against the the opposing saying they are not paranormal because all three theories I find are just not good enough. Below is a good Video I recommend watching with a bit more on the Understanding of Energy Orbs.

Please understand when I am mentioning paranormal Orbs I am referring to the ones that dance around and are active, not ones created by simply light and dust.
your arguments do not hold water. You totally leave out ball lightening, willow the wisp, foo fighters etc. as a cause. These have been recreated in a controlled lab. Last I checked, you can’t make a ghost in a lab. Your research is flawed and therefore so are your conclusions. And for the record, just how does dust move? Air currents are everywhere, each one going a different direction dependent on walls, floors ceilings etc. A dust orb can change directions depending on it’s position in the room and the air current there. Ball lightening has been proven to pass right through a person. At other times, it will knock you right on your arse. There is no proof whatsoever that orbs have anything to do with the paranormal. In fact, it has been proven time and again to be just the opposite…NORMAL!
Hey Scythe,
Thanks for your visit and interest. Orbs is a theory that has been around for ages. Yes evidence is not fully supportive in this area, yet also evidence is not supportive of the other. I have changed my opinion up and down with this one also. Some evidence looks good, some not so much, yet with all aspects of what cannot be proven fully we all have to be open minded to possibilities. Otherwise we are all walking down a dark tunnel in many aspects. If you read the full post you will notice i say that the orbs to watch out for are ones that move independently.. Move through objects or around corners, through doors etc.. Of course dust can make a similar appearance, but it is not the dust i am talking about.
I’m trying to understand this whole orb thing. After installing security cameras around a family barn we started picking up many orbs. They show up mostly at night, they more in different directions, are different shades of white & clear.. some with more colors, and patterns. There is a small rope hanging from the ceiling we watched the wind blowing the rope to the right, while the orbs kept traveling to the left, right against the wind….if they are dust orbs how is that possible?
Chao Melissa,
Orbs are tricky, so many different views on the subject. Try to look at it like, like the orbs that move independentely are the ones to watch.. These ones need to be checked to make sure they are not small insects as well.. I hope you continue to watch them and record there activity.. Good luck..
