Is it a slow news day?

Question

I love the photo captioned, "Several orbs trapped in a deadly Nevada mine". An old mine would certainly not be a dusty place, would it? :)

Answer 1

I am beginning to think that the new age explanation for photographic problems is just an excuse for people to pretend they are expert photographers.

Come on people. I use professional equipment and know just about everything one can know about apetures, focal lengths, ISO settings etc.........and I still get problems with photos occasionally. Its not ghosts!

Answer 2

Everyone knows orbs are angels!

Answer 3

It looks like a culture growing in a petrie dish. Lens dirty? Perhaps someone has a cold and sneezed. The likely hood of the orbs being a life form bigger than a bacteria is not believable. I would not embrace the dirty lens as a spirit of any consequence. I have visited the Winchester house and for it to be haunted is the landowners dream. It sells.

Answer 4

It's not only slow it's silly.I can see why they do it.Tease this story during Oprah,Jerry,Montel and the soaps.Folks who would never watch the news.They'll stick around for that story.

Answer 5

It may very well be filler for slow news days. It certainly isn't convincing proof of anything supernatural. My best guess is that it has something to do with the camera.

Answer 6

Hey!  They SAID the PSYCHIC said they were orbs of spirits that used to work there.  Isn't that good enough for you?  Geez, people!  How much more PROOF do you need?  And here's an OBVIOUS ghost, which was shown on the NEWS, so I mean c'mon guys!!!...What does it take??

Edit: looking at my post again, it's not as clearly  tongue-in-cheek as I intended.  There are people who would seriously give an answer like that.
