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. A white colored-circle is more likely a reflection off dust or pollen.
What do Genuine 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. One is that they 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.

MY PHOTOS OF ORBS IN ASHEVILLE, NC
When I took a ghost walk in Ashville, North Carolina I photographed several orbs WHEN I sensed a ghost first. One was at the Thomas Wolfe House where the orb was outside. I sensed a male ghost within the room where the orb was hovering and you can learn the ghost's identity in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead.
