    Here are some orbs on a winding mountain road.
    Cynics would say they were car lights, but........

    Skepticism is strong in this thread.

    There's no light shining on the cars as there is shining in the cemetary pic. Notice the gravestone and surrounding grass? That same light would be showing up a body holding a flashlight or at least a smudge of a body lit by that light. That is, if there WERE a body. Obviously there's none there.

    BTW, most photographers would recognize the light shining on the cemetary as a flash from a camera, thus eliminating the possibility of time-lapse photograph altogether. I guess that's not obvious to career skeptics though..<shrug>..

    No time lapse.
    So the orb is about five foot long?
    With a tail like a tiger?

    Magical doesn't realize that you can take a time lapse and flash a strobe at the end of the exposure to get that effect. He thinks it is much more likely that there is some sort of magic involved.:shrug:

    This could be true:

    That's true magical, but that's part of the process. Ruling out obvious camera techniques, malfunctions, environmental interferences, etc...

    But, spiritual orbs do exist. Not magic. Lol

    Here's some simple logic. If a camera is capturing light from an orb, why don't we see them with the naked eye?

    Because the orbs are spiritual,
    and, er, camerary.

    The orb is clearly visible at the beginning of the trail and at various phases within the tail. So obviously it is a fast moving orb smearing across the field of vision. No time lapse required.

    So where's the body holding the flashlight? You haven't explained how that could not register on the flash of the camera.

    Because the light is in the infrared range. Duh..

    Easy. The light was swung on a piece of string. Or thrown. Or pulled.
    Loads of ways. No ghosts required.

    Let's just say for a moment that the orbs exist.
    What evidence is there that they are spiritual?

    LOL! Solid proof a career skeptic will never be convinced by any evidence.

    when you can 'rule out' atmospheric interference, camera malfunctions, camera theatrics, etc...and honestly, that is not easy to do. you might not notice that you caught dust on film, or that you have dust on your lens. so, it's not easy to 100% rule out all of that, and then make the leap to ghosts.

    but, IF you are able to rule it out, then it COULD lead one to think that what you have captured in a snapshot, is an orb of the 'spiritual kind.'

    i think magical realist would agree, that it's not easy to 'prove' paranormal activity through still shots. (but it's possible)

    I watched it a few times. Hmmm.
    That is odd. The movement is really unusual.
    Like rhythmic?
