What is an Orb? Can it be a Ghost, Spirit or Both?

A real ORB outside Asheville's Jackson building
Today we'll explore orbs and what they look like if they are connected to an Earth bound ghost or a spirit (whom has crossed over). I talk about orbs in my books "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned." Most of the time, they can be debunked or discounted, but every now and then you run into a genuine ghostly/spirit orb! 

WHAT IS AN ORB?
A Dictionary definition of an orb is an unexpected, often circular photographic artifact. In terms of paranormal activity, orbs are the most simple form a ghost or spirit can take. However, you need to be careful in calling something an orb.
 
GHOSTS OR SPIRITS? - As I explain in my books, the difference between a ghost and a spirit is location. Ghosts are Earthbound, spirits have crossed over. BOTH, however, can take the most simple form of an orb.

WHAT DO ORBS LOOK LIKE?
  I've found that orbs that are associated with a ghost or spirit can be differentiated from non-orbs in a couple of ways. Orbs usually have designs or colors in them. 

Reflections, bugs, dust or pollen do not have designs or colors in photographs and are often mistaken for orbs.
  Further, genuine orbs may also have a face in them!  In one investigation I wrote about in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" myself and Troy, another medium in the group sensed 2 female ghosts in a home where a double murder occurred (unbeknownst to us). One of the Inspired Ghost Tracking Team captured an orb in the area where we sensed the two female ghosts. In the orb was the FACE of a woman. You can see it here and it appears in the book (available on Amazon) that also explains the entire investigation. 
 

Orbs During Paranormal Investigations
   I've noticed orbs appear in photos whenever I'm sensing a ghost. There -up investigation days later, an orb appeared with the face of a woman behind it!  (This is also featured in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead.") 

Orbs appear in Riversdale Mansion room when I sensed 2 ghosts.

 What do others say about orbs? 

Dave Juliano of Shadowland.net, a ghost hunter, defines an Orb this way: The orb is the energy being transferred from a source (i.e. powerlines, heat energy, batteries, people, etc) to the spirit so they can manifest.   This may not even be a conscious thing the spirit is doing, just a natural way they get their energy.  This would explain why the orbs are round balls.  According to the laws of Physics energy being transferring like that would assume is natural shape of a sphere.   This theory can also be tied into the EMF readings we get during spirit activity. Source: http://theshadowlands.net/ghost/orbs.htm
   Dave brings up a good point about Camera Processing errors:
The digital cameras can't have film-processing errors.  I am aware that some people feel that the orbs on a digital camera are an error in the digital processing of the image.  When that error does occur in digital photos, the objects tend to be square in nature, not round and they cannot be semi-transparent, the pixel behind would have to be corrupted also.

Urns, Ashes and Spirit Visitors !

One of the most popular blogs I've written is about ashes and urns and I get a lot of questions about keeping ashes of a loved one who has crossed over (and become a spirit). The bottom line is that ashes can act as an additional draw for spirit, but it's not necessary.  Spirits can find you wherever you go, anywhere in the world at any time. Ashes just act as an additional draw, but are not at all necessary for a spirit to find you.

 
GHOSTS - Ghosts are earth-bound and usually stuck to the places they choose to dwell.Ghosts don't need ashes to appear, because they have already chosen the place they'll dwell in the afterlife and they usually don't move from it, unless a place is razed, or they follow someone (which rarely happens)

SPIRITS - Spirits (human or pets) are those who cross over into the light to Heaven, Paradise, Valhalla, etc.  Having their ashes in the house gives the spirits something to be drawn to, but it's a minor thing compared to your emotional connection to them.

WHY ARE ASHES AN ADDITIONAL DRAW TO SPIRIT? The answer is energy. Spirits (and ghosts) are all energy. The ashes we leave behind have residual energy of the person that passed. Just as if a human left residual energy on an object (like a clock or a door) when they were alive, if it had some emotional meaning to them. Ashes also have that "thumbprint" of emotional energy, and spirits are also drawn to them. 
- Spirits of both humans and pets can be drawn to their ashes. Ashes act like a beacon to them whenever emotional energy is present to help power them.
 
PET SPIRITS AND ASHES - One woman I met told me that she has he ashes of her cat, and has sensed that cat several times. My own puppy that passed has come back to me many times, and I have his ashes in the house. Years ago, a roommate had ashes of his mother in the house and she appeared in the house who appeared as a dark shadow in the apartment. So, urns containing ashes can give spirits a little beacon to come back from time to time and visit, but your love is more important.

SPIRITS DON'T NEED ASHES TO FIND YOU- you don't need the ashes of a loved one for their spirit to visit. Otherwise, people who miss their loved ones would not be burying them. Spirits can find you anywhere - because it's the LOVE that you share with them that acts as a beacon.

CAN MY PET VISIT IN SPIRIT IF I DIDN'T KEEP THEIR ASHES - Yes. A spirit can find you anywhere, because they're linked to you with love.


THINK ABOUT THIS- Society has been burying people for centuries, yet the spirits of our loved ones have come back and given signs and have even been seen.

COLD FACTS: Wind Chills, Frostbite and Hypothermia (which can be fatal)

Because I'm a meteorologist in my daytime job, I wanted to pass along some important information about the dangerous Arctic temperatures 2/3rds of the continental U.S. is experiencing so you and your pets will keep safe.
For at least the next week, the Eastern and Central U.S. will continue to see DANGEROUS cold, Arctic temperatures with wind chills near or Below Zero. 
TIPS  - Don’t stay out long. Frostbite occurs on exposed skin in 30 minutes under these temperatures. Hypothermia can be fatal. 
*Dress in Layers. *Do NOT Exercise outdoors. 
*Do NOT Leave pets outside or walk them- take pets out quickly, or use indoor pee pads. 
Here are the facts:
WHAT IS WIND CHILL - The windchill temperature is how cold people and animals feel when outside. Windchill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperature and eventually the internal body temperature. Therefore, the wind makes it FEEL much colder. If the temperature is 0°F and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the windchill is -19°F. At this windchill temperature, exposed skin can freeze in 30 minutes.
Frostbite on fingers

FROSTBITE OCCURS – Within 30 minutes during these Arctic Outbreak temperatures the Eastern and Central U.S. is currently experiencing.
For example, A  temperature of 0°F and a wind speed of 15 mph creates a wind chill temperature of -19°F. Under these conditions frost bite can occur in just 30 minutes. ... Extremely cold temperature can also cause hypothermia, when the body's temperature dips below 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
WHAT DOES FROSTBITE DO? You have frostbite when your body tissue freezes. The most susceptible parts of the body are fingers, toes, ear lobes, or the tip of the nose. Symptoms include a loss of feeling in the extremity and a white or pale appearance. Get medical attention immediately for frostbite. The area should be SLOWLY rewarmed using warm, not hot water.
WHAT DOES FROSTBITE LOOK LIKE? * This website has very disturbing pictures of what Frostbite looks like to feet and hands: http://www.theprepperjournal.com/2014/12/02/prevent-identify-treat-frostbite/
 
WHAT IS HYPOTHERMIA?

  • Hypothermia occurs when body temperature falls below 95°F. Determine your temperature with a thermometer.
  • Warning signs include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness and exhaustion.
  • Get medical attention immediately. If you can't get help quickly, begin warming the body SLOWLY. Warm the body core first, NOT the extremities. Warming extremities first drives the cold blood to the heart and can cause the body temperature to drop further--which may lead to heart failure.
  • If you are helping someone else with hypothermia, get the person into dry clothing and wrap in a warm blanket. Be sure to cover the head and neck.
  • Do not give the person alcohol, drugs, coffee, or any HOT beverage or food. WARM broth and food is better.
  • About 20% of cold related deaths occur in the home. Young children under the age of two and the elderly (those more than 65 years old), are most susceptible to hypothermia.
  • Hypothermia can set in over a period of time. Keep the thermostat above 69°F, wear warm clothing, eat food for warmth, and drink plenty of water or fluids other than alcohol and caffeine to keep hydrated.
  • Avoid alcohol because it will LOWER your body temperature.
