If you are foolish enough to "play" with ghosts -- by engaging in a "seance" with your foolish young friends, or by joining your friends or family in using a Ouija Board, or even just watching friends or family engage in a seance or use a Ouija Board, there is a respectable chance that you, yourself, will accidentally conjure-up a powerful, persistent "presence" that is very hard to get rid of, which will not leave you alone, and which will spend years, or decades, even, engaging in a behavior called "familiarization" to get you used to it and more open to accepting a more striking manifestation of itself, and in the end all you will achieve is a ticket to eternal Hell fire.
Why?
Because, ultimately, no matter how you cut it, conscious use of, or communication with, the occult is a really a grab for power or control in this life by a means other than your relationship with God. It is really an "anti-prayer," a prayer to "the invisible bad guys," isn't it?
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever "talk to" the occult. Never pretend to yourself or to others that you can "control" it. If you produce striking results, it is because "it" is playing with you, making it appear that you have "control," when in fact it is engaging in a contract with you, in which, because it does your bidding for now, it builds-up a kind of "account payable" to "it," and it will, believe me, come knocking to collect the debt.
So, parents, as silly as it seems, warn your kids in advance, "No seances -- ever. No Ouija Boards -- ever." Tell them to get out of houses where seances or Ouija Boards are being used, before the event. Just being near such can produce a bad result with years of negative consequences.
This is real. This is not nonsense.
More on that another time.
I always loved photography. During law school in the late 1970s, I went out and got myself the much vaunted Pentax K1000 SLR camera, and I had such a wonderful relationship with that thing. After I moved to Magnolia and married, I replaced my Pentax with a digital camera.
All of a sudden, something new started showing-up in a few of the thousands of pictures I took -- orbs.
For reasons unknown, digital cameras have a capacity to record the presence of orbs. And so, with the entrance of digital cameras came a cultural interest in orbs. What are they?
Skeptics maintain that orbs are nothing more or less than airborne pollen, which the camera with its flash greatly magnifies by some photographic process not well understood by photographers or scientists. For them, pictures like this ...
... are decisive on that issue -- thousands of the little guys in one place! And near pollen-generating plants!
One of my problems with the obvious pollen allegation is that problems arise when one maintains that they are only pollen.
A simple example: In the first picture, above, why is there only one (1)? How did the photographer get so lucky? Why didn't he also photograph the iron and nickel micrometeorites floating down from above, and the ambient dust particles one can see in sunbeams indoors on a lazy Sunday afternoon?
Next, orbs have a striking tendency to "skeedaddle" after the camera flash goes off. They don't like light.
Next, orbs frequently engage in some pretty astonishing behavior.
Once, I read that when someone is sleeping in a haunted house, and the ghost is a night time "poker," which awakens the sleeping person by poking him or her on the side, if he or she snaps a digital flash shot of the air above them they will almost invariably capture a photo of an orb. I.e., the ghosts hover above their experiencers in the form of an orb.
So, on one occasion I was making repairs to, and cleaning, a vacant home which a relative was selling, where my agreed-to-compensation was twice our cash investment. On weekends, I would kiss my wife goodbye, drive over to the empty house with my tools, work Friday night, sleep-over on a cot in the living room, work all day Saturday, morning-till-midnight, sleep-over again, and work Sunday morning (after going to Catholic Mass!) and Sunday afternoon.
The house turned out to be haunted. Again and again, the ghost there would playfully poke my hip through my blankets to wake me up at nights between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m.
Because I had read that article on capturing photos of the orbs carrying "poking ghosts," I set up a my digital flash camera on a tripod, pointed it at where I was sleeping, and ran a shutter cable from the camera to my cot. The first time the thing awakened me with a poke, I flashed a shot of it, and then the comparison shot about two seconds later. Lo and behold, I caught an amazing picture of a 3-foot-high orb which, as usual, "skeedaddled" before the next shot.
On another occasion, Rise` and I were exploring a haunted cave in Colorado Springs. At one point, our guide in the cave agreed to kill the lights, so that I could attempt to capture the ghost haunting the cave on film. I laid down on my back on the cave floor, pointed the digital flash camera straight-up, our guide killed the lights, I waited a few seconds, and flashed the picture ...
The misty thing to the right is the "ghost." It wasn't present at all in the next shot I took. Ghost hunters would call it an "ectoplasmic entity." I personally suspect that it is an image literally made of mist being "drawn" in the air by the true cold entity. What is it a mist-picture of? One friend suggested that the thing on the right vaguely resembles a particular art school drawing of a nude ...
... with head tilted left, left and right arms framing a breasts and a torso. It can be imagined with difficulty.
The important thing about the "ectoplasmic entity," however, is not the entity itself, but what you see in it.
Click on the photo of the thing to make it big. Look carefully in the ovaloid torso at about the 4:00 o'clock position. Do you see it? In my opinion, we have caught a picture of the orb "ghost vehicle" racing through the air at several thousand miles per hour, using its innate coldness to "draw" its mid-air "mist art" in the cave, so that I could photograph the "ectoplasmic" mist figure with my digital flash camera.
My most amazing "high-velocity orb" photo was taken about 5 years ago tight here in Magnolia.
I had been telling a friend about how easy it is to capture orbs on camera, using digital flash cameras, so long as one follows certain rules:
(a) Go to places known to be haunted, or places which are the kind of place which one expected to be haunted. For example, grave yards or locations where a murder or suicide has previously taken place.
(b) Go when YOU, YOURSELF are fatigued or sleep-deprived. The things LOVE sleepy people. Your sleepiness will attract them.
(c) Go in twilight or in the dark of night. The things HATE light.
(d) Use a digital flash camera with the lens set for infinity and the flash turned on. Since the things make a fast escape after the first flash, DON'T test your flash in or near the place where you want to take your ghost photo.
(e) You can talk in the room, but DON'T talk to "it" -- ever.
So, my wife Rise` and I took the digital camera with us when we took our usual walk at 10:30 p.m. that night. Our 2.25 mile route through Magnolia took us past Magnolia Methodist Church and its cemetery, on Evesham Road at Barrett Avenue. At the cemetery, I crouched next to a tilting gravestone, turned on the flash, set the lens for infinity, and snapped a flash picture at nothing in particular next to the tilting gravestone. This is what I got ...
Then I flashed my "control" shot, a few seconds later, and, as usual, the thing had "skeedaddled" in response to the flash.
In my opinion, you are looking at something very astonishing in that photo. If you look at the thing carefully, you can see it "stopping and posing" about 13 times during a 2-foot-long path of travel in front of the gravestone and then behind and up the left edge of the gravestone as it escaped, barely visible past the edge. It appears to have done this --
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,

"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," moved,
"stopped and posed," and
finally disappeared --
over the course of the 1/1000 of a second camera strobe flash.
2 feet in 1/1000 of a second = 2,000 feet / second = 7,200,000 feet / hour = 1,364 mph.
Another thing interesting about the Magnolia Methodist grave orb is that it possesses that little "comma" at the bottom, and that little "window" at its "equator," both of which can be seen in multiple shots, helping us to identify it as one-and-the-same in each "exposure" of it during the 1/1000 of a second flash time lapse.
Because orbs can move like this -- MUCH faster than than any wind which ever occurred in Magnolia -- it is not surprising that in the case of some of the orbs being photographed by others, we can see them zipping-off on their own -- note well, WHILE the other orbs are undisturbed by any wind -- under their own power ...

A very cool racing orb picture !
So what's your theory on why orbs show up when digital photography is involved?
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI puzzled long and hard over why orbs should suddenly become visible with digital photography.
Could it simply be the case that the pixel-size sensors in a digital camera happen to be highly sensitive to the wave length of reflected light coming off orbs while the silver compound comprising color emulsions on Kodachrome film are not?
There’s another possibility: My theory of orbs is that orbs are the basic “tulpa,” a kind of a semi-real entity which functions as a prayer vehicle to God, and a prayer-response vehicle from God. The idea is that God made us so that human focus -- “deep faith,” a Christian would say -- can generate these things.
These “tulpas” are somewhat “schmoo-like” -- remember L’il Abner’s schmoos, which could be molded into anything, even eaten for nutrition? …
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8PA7tYWUe18/UUwKwwKUxgI/AAAAAAAAjxk/RY_-dLIY2ZE/s1600/ShmooV2.jpg
So, if a person being murdered is fearful enough, as he is being murdered, his extraordinary focus at that moment, from his fear, might accidentally create a tulpa looking and acting exactly like the murderer or himself.
Another example -- In the 1800s, a packet ship from Ireland carrying hundreds of Irish immigrants sank in the frigid waters just off the coast of Maine. A young Irish girl, dressed only in her shift tried to swim ashore holding onto her baby. However, a wave smashing into her yanked her baby out of her arms. As the girl crawled up onto the beach, dying of cold and exhaustion, rescuers heard her repeating, “Where is my baby?! Where is my baby?!” For the next century after that, locals were reluctant to serve in the lighthouse at that location, because it was famously haunted by a very-real-looking girl ghost in a wet shift walking up the lighthouse steps, knocking on the door, saying only, “Where is my baby?! Where is my baby?!”
If a tulpa is the product of a prayer, it is immune to demonic possession. If a tulpa is the product of a curse, it is automatically demonically possessed. If a tulpa is an accidental creation, it is neither, but it can be demonically possessed.
If the possessing presence within the tulpa is strong enough, it CAN BE MOLDED INTO ANY SHAPE THE POSSESSING SPIRIT DESIRES. Most UFOs are exactly this. Bigfoot creatures are this. Chapcabras, like the Jersey Devil, are this. “Greys” in the Abduction Phenomenon are this. Loch Ness - type monsters are this.
Respecting orb photographability, it could be that orb-possessing evil spirits coincidentally began a pre-End-Time program of making themselves more visible, around the time digital cameras came into their own, by doing whatever they need to do to make their orbs visible to cameras.
