Ghost/Orb question..please help

Question

I took a picture in my house and a very weird dot is on the wall. My friend pointed it out and said it may be an orb? I took different pictures in a row and it's not there in the others. I've never believed in ghosts or the paranormal. Other weird things have happened that I can't explain. Since I moved here in August 2007 I have nothing but bad luck. If I'm in the house I'm constantly depressed but if I step outside I'm fine. I have always been very cold even in the summer so, I would keep my heat on but, not now I have to keep my house colder than cold( I'm 24 and not going thru the "change" or anything). I feel like someone stands over me at night when I'm laying in bed. I see things out of the corner of my eye, A LOT. I never really thought about it until my friend pointed it out. Could my house be haunted? Please someone give me some advice I feel like I'm crazy at the moment. Here is a picture!!

Answer 1

I don't really know how anyone can say yes or no when you can't zoom on it much.  I went to Casadaga in Florida - which is a Spiritualist Camp - and there are orbs in a bunch of my pictures. About 1/4 of them. And, you can't really see it the orb as well until you zoom in a ton of times. I mean, you can see the circle, but the colors of the orb etc come out when you zoom in, or blow the picture up when printing. I talked to my Healer there and showed them to her, and she was able to confirm them all.  

Answer 2

it may be just dust but if you are depressed at home and strange things occur all the time it might be that you are sensative or maybe a spirit chose you to carry on a message. it also might be just a harmless fun spirit that likes to trick you and misplace your things. just dont be worried or scared about it. my mom tells me this, if you beleive in god just pray and they'll go away, but she doesn't beleive in ghosts so my best idea is to stand up to it if you see it or use your beleifs against it.(beleifs in god or other religions, if you think it's evil)

also make sure if its evil or not because that will make a big difference.

Answer 3

The first one looks like a dust orb,  thanks for the extra pictures of the gal!

I like her - the orb, not so much.

Edit:

You know we can see all 7 photos!  Even the "R" rated ones!

Answer 5

Well this orbs happens to me sometimes, I call it dust. Either on the lens or on the negative.

Answer 6

Image 1 (august7.jpg) looks like an "orb" but is dust. You can tell by the telltale ring of bright reflection around the outer edge. True orbs are brighter in the middle than they are around the edge, and don't look like reflections of anything.

I don't see anything in the second or third images.

I don't think you're crazy, but let me explain to you why I can't tell if there's anything paranormal happening. Discomforting feelings might be EMF's (electromagnetic fields) from bad wiring. It might be good to go pick up an EMF detector in order to see if there might be EMF's where you are. EMF's have recorded side effects including paranoia (the feeling of being "watched"), hallucinations, nausea, feelings of uneasiness, and even skin irritation. EMF's are caused by electrically-charged objects, and may be the result of improper electrical shielding or or faulty wiring.

If you find an EMF in the wall, at an outlet or coming from a fixture, then it's time to call in a qualified electrician to repair it (this is a hazard, as high-level EMF's can indicate short circuits and "hot spots" which could start a fire).

If you find an EMF in the middle of an area, or one that moves around, it might be something paranormal.

If there is anything actually paranormal happening, here are a few things to remember: In general, ghosts won't hurt you unless you're being a complete jerk toward them. Ghosts only hurt people in the movies.

Hope this helps you, and please feel free to email me if you have any further questions.

EDIT: For the record: digital cameras don't have negatives. That "orb" of dust is actually just an airborne reflection from the flash, and might be 2-3 feet from the lens (thus its distorted blurring effect).

Also, people have had reactions to EMF's as low as 1.5 milliGauss. I myself start feeling the effects of EMF's at about 2 milliGauss, and so they consider that a sensitivity. At field strengths above 200 millliGauss, I start feeling my skin prickling all over my body.

Oh, and... while we were IMing, we talked about the mirror behind the camera reflecting light onto the dust, which then reflected back to the camera. It's so totally dust! :-)

Answer 7

Dust floats, especially around windows and air ducts.

If your house feels cold, have you ever had someone to come out and look at the thermostat, the homes insulation, or check the windows for leaks, or a general inspection of the home being energy efficient?

Is the house old? Made of bricks? Is there a basement or is it on a slab concrete? Is there a crawl space under the home if you don't have a basement?

Also have the wiring throughout the house checked. Because it sounds more like the house is registering high EMF readings, which gives one the feeling of being watched, being nauseous, hairs moving on arms or neck, or just wanting to leave.

Walk around your home with pad and paper.

Make notes of the places that give you the creeps.

Notice all the electrical appliances in that area (TV, stereo, ceiling fan, electrical outlets, etc.)

Answer 8

You need to always remember this: Orbs are most of the time mis-identification, they can range from dust, glitter, finger prints on the lens, flash, mirrors, so many factors. But from the look of your "orbs" they seemed like dust. It does not matter if there was flash, because the light could of reflected off the dust, glitter, mirror, or even jewelery for that matter. No camera is safe from capturing "orbs". But in my expert opinion these are not orbs. If you need any help feel free to email me.

You are depressed because when many people move they go through what I call movers depression, some people get over it some don't and whn you go outside thats your release from the movers depression. My mom used to get cold in the summer as well, I personally think its a womans thing (hahaha no not trying to sexist). You can see things out of the corner of your eye because of your peripheral veision, its so sensitive that sometimes you can hit a blind spot or even a bright spot, its nothing unusual. At night your senses are at there peak, so its perfectly normal for your senses to be on high alert and you can feel someone over you, but that doesn't mean that someone is there. Personally no I do not believe your home is haunted. I personally believe that some sort of suggestion went into your mind when your friend told you that he/she saw an orb. But my dear it is not an orb and your home is not haunted.

Answer 9

I don't know about the other things you are experiencing, but I can say with some certainty that your "orb" is a speck of floating dust caught in the camera flash.

Answer 10

Time to see a doctor.  

Answer 11

Taken separately, any "expert" could debunk individual things that you've mentioned here...but not all of it. You are likely clairsentient, which is simply an ability to sense energy. I've included a link below to give you a description and exercises to assist in developing it.

Much of what you've written I've also experienced...the flicker of movement in the corner of your eye - very real. Catching a glimpse of an orb - which do not all look alike as somebody tried to point out - is also very real. Many times, the spirits of relatives and even animals will drop in to check up on us. I've seen some of them doing incredible acrobatics right in front of me, while watching TV and no, I wasn't high or intoxicated. Missing items are a bit of mystery and has happened to me as well but is also very real. One of my friends suggested that I check out the lunar cycles when this happens or whether the date has some significance...ie: a relative's birthday, parent's marriage etc.The feeling of somebody close by when you lay down is classic clairsentience and again a very real ability.

You already sense that what you're experiencing is not hallucination and you need to follow that, if you want to find out the what and why of these experiences. Certainly, if you are a God-fearing, go-to-church-every-Sunday person, ask the entity to leave in the name of God. Unfortunately, this act does not guarantee anything largely because if this is a malevolent entity (which I don't think it is) they seldom recognize this pantomime. And if you don't fully believe - totally - they're just wasted words. One has no control over the actions of spirits and if you begin playing the "God card" without the proper training or belief system in place, all you'll do is annoy them. Telling an entity to leave does not guarantee - in any way - that it will comply.

One thing that you have to seriously consider is that nothing is random, when it comes to the spirit world. You've been experiencing some unusual things for a year now and only now, you are reaching out for advice and suggestions. Unless you wish to remain in fear, you need to begin very quickly learning about your own specific abilities and how to protect yourself, if you feel the need. Please consider at least checking out the link below.

Because you are sensitive to energies, many times what you feel does not originate within you. They are feelings and emotions that your senses have picked up on but largely belong to others. What assisted me, when I was living in a place where there was a lot of activity, was making the time to be outside in nature. Pack a small snack, get off by yourself and find a spot that speaks to you. I don't mean just walking around the block either. Take the time to listen to the wind, the creak of branches, the birds and insects and always express gratitude to the guardian of the spot you chose...for allowing you to share their beauty, peace and serentity. This was extremely important for me and helped me a great deal.

There comes a point in one's life where certain things - like psychic abilities - become blatantly obvious and we can either choose to continue to live in fear or take steps to understand why they are happening. One has to get to a point where the cost of continuing the pain exceeds the fear of learning some truths about ourselves and our abilities. You continue to be shown that you are gifted so take a deep breath, acknowledge that and commit to finding out all that you can...so you're able to let go of the fear of the unknown.

We are all given guides to assist us, including a protector guide. In the interim, consider making a request before you lay down that they protect you from any negative energies or entites while you sleep, shelter you from harm and ill-intent...what ever you're comfortable with. They will do that however...sometimes specific obstacles are placed in our path because it is the only way they can assist us in learning something that is essential to realizing our true purpose. Your evening visitor may continue to show up and of they do, it is for a reason becuase there is some type of wisdom or knowledge that you need to learn or experience. This new place sounds like it has been a major triggering event for you and being there is no coincidence.

You might also consider requesting the Universe - if you're uncomfortable with the God concept -  to send along the people and resources to assist you. I can promise that they will show up and often in the most unlikely of places. Pay attention to your intuition and follow your gut feelings when considering doing something you normally wouldn't like attending a church, a lecture, a bookstore, calling up an old friend...these are all ways that our guides work to bring us in contact with the answers and people we seek. You're not losing your mind nor are you delusional so don't accept that suggestion from anybody. Consider some of the exercises explained in the link below to help develop your abilities. With practice, you will be able to turn them off and on at will.

Blessings.

Answer 12

call a local, reputable paranormal investigative group to see what is going on there.  by reputable i mean a team with previous, hopefully long term experience, a team who can give your at least 10 references from previous hunts.  ask if you can speak or be put in touch with the people at whose houses they have investigated.  anyone can call themselves ghost hunters and rob you blind, or case out your house in that way.
