Orbs and other Anomalies

A composite shot from Andrea Corsick's awesome orb gallery.

I love orbs! In fact I love most anomalous images. I've been fascinated with these things for awhile, and if you do a search for orbs on the net, there are some great examples around.

Here's another brilliant link to the

Interdimensional Gallery's collection.

So what are they? Of course, in some of the shots you'll come across on the web, what you're seeing are just dust particles, but you can usually spot a genuine orb once you become experienced at it. A good tip is to look for movement in the shot. If the orb has a trail then it can't be dust. Dust shots usually result in the picture being too full of orbs; and some "orbs" are just reflected light. Most genuine orbs are often shot near where children or adults are playing, or in and around houses, and sometimes out in nature or in the sky. I've seen some good ones captured at sacred sites and cemeteries too.

Since the digital revolution began, a great deal of paranormal research has been undertaken with just digital cameras and recorders, which is cheap and easy for the novice. The sampling rate on these devices seems to allow for more of these anomalous images or sounds to be caught on film. They see better than our eyes can see, and hear better than our ears can hear. If these things are existing at a density or frequency just above 3-D, then it would make sense that detecting their presence would be much easier with gadgets such as these. With the photographs, the orbs only show up after the shot has been taken. Electronic Voice Phenomena is captured by digital audio recorders, and basically some guy or girl stands somewhere with a microphone, asks a question to an empty room, records silence, and then checks the tape later for any disembodied voices that may appear. I've heard plenty of EVP, and it seems to be another genuine phenomena. Spooky though, especially when a child's voice comes through and you can hear them speaking QUITE clearly.

Here's a fabulous group shot from a weekend workshop called Crystal Earth Shamanism that I participated in last year on the Halloween weekend Oct 30 & 31. It was taken at the end of the course by Naisha Ahsian, the person behind the the Crystal Ally Cards and Crystalis Institute in the US, who flew out here just for our course.

At a higher resolution, the picture shows many more orbs than you can see here. In this version, you can probably make out three or four, and standing next to the woman on the far left, the head and shoulder of an etheric figure are faintly visible. We had just finished for the weekend with a beautiful group meditation for planetary healing and Naisha wasn't surprised to see them at all. When she took a look at it and said,
"Yes, they're always drawn to the light."

I'm down the front centre right with a beautiful orb hanging just above my head. And if you look really close, you'll be able to make out a perfect pyramid shape over my eyebrow centre. Then take a look at everybody else's, it seems to be just me....! The first time I spotted it I nearly freaked out.

I love the next shot.


Pyramid-shaped Orbs at Giza


Orbs come in many shapes, but the geometrical ones are my favourite. Cheryl Scott, the woman who took this photo, says, "This photo was taken on a pilgrimage to the Great Pyramid and surrounding structures on the Giza Plateau. The photo was taken on 11/11/04 right after an impromptu meditation in the middle of the shadows of 4 red granite pillars that cast a shadow of 1111. The time was 11:11. The location of the Funerary Temple was next to the Sphinx, which is about one mile or so from the Great Pyramid. At the time of this photo, my husband and I were walking out of the Funerary Temple to the Sphinx for a meditation for World Peace. When we developed our film, we saw these 11 floating Pyramids captured only on this one shot. We did not use a flash. It was with a digital camera: Sony Cyber-shot: 5.0 Mega Pixel camera. We thought this was pretty amazing to find 11 floating pyramids just one minute after our impromptu meditation on 11/11/04 at 11:11.


So, are they intelligent? Another orb investigator Julie Ryder claims that she can communicate with orbs. She's got truck loads of photos with them grouping into specific patterns that she requests, like "I'd like to see a grid formation please." Then she'll take a shot of the space in front of her, view the finished picture and voila, they show up in the frame and have formed into a grid. She, like many others, took it up as a hobby initially (you don't really need much more than a decent camera when you wanna try and catch orbs) and now she actually takes groups of people on photographic orb expeditions and says the success rate for capturing shots is pretty high. I wish I had one of hers to show you, but I've seen some of them and they are awesome.

There are plenty of other great anomalous images that can be captured on film besides orbs too. Here's an amazing photo of fellow Aussie, Justis Barrymore, which was taken during a sound healing workshop I believe, and you can see the density of the man beside him - much more anchored here than Justis is, eh? And how about those wings?

This next one is of a Reiki teacher, taken by Paul C in the States. His teacher had come over to his house for a lesson, and asked him at one point to take his photo so that Paul could see his aura. Neither Paul or his teacher had ever seen a photo like it before, and I can honestly say this is one of the best photos I've ever seen too. I love the way you can actually see the etheric sheaths become less and less dense toward the edges. As a yoga teacher, this fits in perfectly with the yogic understandings of how the aura itself is composed of many "layers", and my studies of quantum theory back up the notion that we are indeed multi-dimensional beings, and the frequencies we emit exist in realms that are 4-D, 5-D etc, up to 11D according to Super-String theory, which mathematically works at its most elegant form in 11 dimensions). Could the photo have picked up the frequencies around the Reiki master's aura that are in the 4th, 5th and 6th dimensional levels? It was certainly a factor for me in deciding whether this was a genuine photo or not. Paul is adamant that it hasn't been touched-up in any way, and he told me to beware when I put this up because when he did, he got tons of email saying that it was a fake, and I should expect that. What-Ever.
I'm gonna do what he did. Delete them. People need to see this.

I've got a whole stack more but that's probably more than enough for now. I'd love to start an anomalies gallery here, so please email me with any of your own examples. I'm just warming up too. Wait 'til you see the others I have in store. Check out my profile for contact details, and start sending!
