One of the biggest debates surrounding evidence collected from investigations is that of 'Orbs', light anomalies so nicknamed because of their common shape.

The problem with the Orb phenomena is that is has become so hyped up from TV programmes often devoting most of an entire program to the evidence for paranormal entities based solely on Orb footage. The problem is most light anomalies captured have a 99.9% chance of being something more down to earth. Let me show you a few examples.

This example is nothing more than rain shot in a graveyard near Tintern. There are many other examples floating around the web and most are probably caused by dust, rain, snow, mist etc.

This better example below is of a single 'Orb' captured on the same investigation but again we have ruled this one out as probable rain drop.

The other common cause of light anomalies can be put down to insects inadvertently flying in front of your optic field of vision. This fairy pic below is in fact an insect in flight.

While we are not saying that every picture captured is caused by the above it is better for your investigation if you can negate these issues first. Even allowing a dusty corridor to settle before you start capturing images is not guaranteed to rule out dust as a cause for images such as these. There will always be airflow where ever you are investigating.
