And it seems that orbs have been appearing in photos with more frequency in the last 10 or so years. Some people believe orbs are an anomaly attributable to the use of digital cameras, but many people, including myself, have caught orbs with film-cameras as well. Others propose that orbs are reflections from dust particles or water. However, when I investigated the orb phenomenon with wonder and open-mindedness, it quickly became apparent to me that orbs are some form of life.<br /><br />For more detail see my website What Are Orbs?
