My hobby for better than twenty years has been paranormal investigations, specifically allegations of haunting activity. Over the years, I have done extensive investigations of places reputed to be haunted and have found what look like balls of light in photographs I have taken. I have hundreds of these photos that showed what we call "orbs" where I have been able to eliminate reflections, moisture droplets, developing errors, etc. as causes. None of these orbs were seen at the time the photo was taken. On two occasions, I actually saw orbs in motion, but they disappeared to fast for me to take a photo. I have found anomalous electromagnetic fields in these locations. Using an electromagnetic field detector, I have been able to draw out the shape of the field, which is almost always spherical. These fields are also associated with cold spots. My theory is that I am capturing a spherically shaped electromagnetic field. The reason it shows up in the photo is the negative ions shooting out of the field cause the drop in temperature, resulting in some condensation of the moisture within the field. This condensation provides a reflective surface that allows the flash to strike a surface and reflect it back into the lense of the camera. All of this occurs too fast for the human eye to perceive it as a discrete event. I am familiar with the "spook lights" phenomenon, particularly as relates to the Joplin Spooklights near Joplin Missouri. I believe that the vast majority of the spook lights phenomenon are natural rather than paranormal. I believe the photos that I take in haunted places are capturing a different electromagnetic phenomenon. But, I certainly cannot discount that the phenomenon may be related in some way and simply attributed to different causes. I have a website featuring some of my photos from local cemeteries. The photos I have gotten from haunted houses are not as dramatically clear. My site is www.smalltownghosts.com . I am looking forward to learning more from this group as time goes on.
