These spherical, glowing lights of were at one time such a phenomena that they were given their own names. They were called ‘corpse candles’ in Wales, and in 19th century England they were referred to as ‘Will-o-the-Whisps’ or ‘Jack-0-Lanterns.’ But why are they always in the shape of a sphere? Energy existing in a spherical form is the easiest form in which to move about.
In today’s growing world of paranormal investigating, it seems that orbs in particular have been deemed-in-stone as nothing more than lens flares, rain particles, or dust particles. In other words, these whitish anomalies showing up in photos are the laughing-stock of the paranormal-speaking world in the media. Alas, personal experience speaks much louder than words. Experience opens the eyes to realities much more clearly and powerfully than trendy proclamations. It's true that skepticism is healthy; we learn from questioning. In the same sense, we do not learn from continually discarding something without further, deeper consideration. How might anyone be so certain there isn’t something more to these floating spheres of light, which are sometimes visible to the naked eye? In this mysterious world of energy, no one can truly know what they are, or what they are not. Though it frustrates me to see seemingly open minds dismissing something which may very well offer relevance to the world beyond, I continue my lifelong quest in understanding these mysterious spheres of lights. These energy forms may not all be human or animal spirits, though I'm certain a good number of them are. Several may also be faeries, angels, or perhaps even aliens. It's possible....
When living in Louisiana, I discovered a single ball of white light which would hover over the center of the diningroom table. It wasn’t visible to my naked eye, but it would show up when looking through the lens of a digital camera. Once a photo had been snapped, the ball of light would float up to the corner of the room, as if hiding from sight. It would soon be completely out of sight and nowhere to be found all day. Curiouser and curiouser, I got up at 2 am the next morning, sneaking back into the diningroom to shoot a few quick pictures of the table. There it was again -- the orb, floating above the center of the table. It reacted the same way it has the day before, hiding in the top corner of the room. Able to see it in my camera’s lens, I followed it into the livingroom. It acted shy, attempting to escape me, so I left it alone by retiring to my art studio to work on some sketches. Sensing a presence a little while after, I shot a picture of the doorway. There it was again – an orb hovering a foot above the floor, watching me.
I’ve noticed that it’s common for these bright spheres of light to be present during celebrational events where there's laughter and joy to be shared. As well, they love to bask in the beauty of music. Try playing an instrument in a forest and take a sequence of photos with your digital camera (at least 50!) and see who or what shows up. I've also noticed that it’s common for the spirit orbs to be hanging around the vicinity of the shoulders, heart, and head. I believe they're connecting energetically with the person or animal by hovering in this area.
Spirit lights are constantly attempting to communicate with us in a positive manner, yet too many people are closed to the subtle messages they have to offer. Try quieting your mind and connecting with the arrays of energies which feel right to you, for you may be delightfully surprised at what, and whom, there is to find.
