i have seen full body apparitions in the daytime--lights on--seen by 2 other people in the group also
I've got orbs in my house (where I've seen an aparition 3 times), in the Whaley House in San Diego, In the Queen Mary, at my parent's new house, at Disneyland, at work, at Lehman caves, on the salt flats, and in abandoned mines all over Utah and Nevada. They show up nearly everwhere I snap a picture, especially in dark, dusty places. They show up in haunted and not haunted locations.

Orbs are not ghosts, nor are they proof of paranoral activity. Sorry, they just aren't. They are refracted light from dust particles or even in the lens itself and are creations of the camera.

I agree, Orbs are balls of energy.

I would suggest joining the skeptics society before wasting time on stuff that exists only the fevered imaginations of the gullible....

Anyone been to a seance? I have not seen orbs but I do believe in ghosts/spirits. I think seances are the kind of thing you have to trust and know the people in the seance otherwise you will always wonder if they are conning you.

I went to one once where a guy appeared to have lights on his fingertips and pulled flowers from his mouth and gave them to people. I was not so sure about that one, although it was very impressive.

I have had a real interesting experience with a table though....

I work at a place here in NW PA that is known for being haunted. It was built in 1856 and used to be a stop or an Inn. Also it was home to the proprietors of days gone yore. People through the years had "passed on" while there. So it seems that some of their "spirits" do still reside there. There are ghosts of children heard scampering and giggling at times, though I have not experienced that, personally. I started working as a waitress/server at this place back in August. My first weekend there, I did have a paranormal experience. On my way to the ladies room by the old stairwell that had a ghost sighting on photogragh, I walked into a wall of cold, then a faint cold caress on my left arm, it got a little colder, then was GONE! It turned warm again. I thought at first that maybe I passed a vent. I could find NO explanation as to what had happened! One of my customers was having dessert one night, then had a feeling that something was trying to get into her lap. Like a small child trying to crawl up onto her lap. She, too, remembered a cool, weird feeling at the time. A ghost hunting crew based out of Beaver, PA, has documented some of the paranormal activity. Their findings are on one of our walls, along with a few newspaper articles about the ghostly, otherworld activities. I do not feel that the spirits are mean or harmful. But I do believe...

Ghost Hunting anyone?
I tried that one time, and I took my .300 Winchester Magnum hunting rifle, but the bullets kept going right through them...

I guess I'll stick to hunting deer and elk..

Should I ask?? I like antique furniture, heard some strange stories but no personal experience to share.

Just to give you the heads up Mike, they're already dead.

There are many rational reasons you think you saw an orb. Our eyes and brain sometimes can't always perceive natural phenomena. You eyes can be tricked by optical illusions.
I have never seen concrete evidence of a ghost! They rank up there with bigfoot and UFOs.
