Many people take a lot of pictures. And many times, circular spots will appear in the photo. And then someone believes they have "spirits" or"orbs" in their pictures. Many times this is false. Many times these "orbs" are usually loose dust or dirt particles that are floating around and the flash reflects off the particles and then they show up in the pictures. Here is a picture that is NOT a true orb, but a particle of dust or dirt that the flash reflected off of.

An orb is supposed to be a ball of energy that gives off its own light. This energy can be free floating, intelligent (has a mind of its own), residual (repeats the same movement again and again with no reaction to current time). The following photo was taken in a cemetery and the green light is not reflection of light. It is easily noticeable to see the orb gives off its own light. Sometimes you may see the orbs with the naked eye and sometimes you may not. This is a photo of the green free floating light we caught.
