Answer 2

An "orb" is defined in the dictionary as: "a sphere, a spherical body, a globe." NDE orbs are often spherical representations of souls. They have been described in many various ways.

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.

Genuine orbs may well be nothing less than emanations from benevolent and -- perhaps to a large extent -- highly evolved entities from a nonphysical reality.

Answer 3

Orbs are photographic anomalies.

Answer 4

A trick of the light in your camera. Nuff said.

Answer 5

orbs are small paricles close to the lens of the camera when the flash goes off. usually dust. Spiderwebs can cause orbs too, because spider silk is lumpy and the lumps will show up.

Ghost hunters call these orb trails.

Answer 6

They are ghosts

Answer 7

they are where your camera experienced an anomaly.  it isn't a ghost or angel or anything.

consciousness is caused by billions upon billions of interactions of neurons within your brain.  when you die, these interactions stop working.  you don't leave behind a soul that goes floating around.  if you are an atheist (not insinuating anything) then you don't believe in the spiritual, so you think more logically than this.  if you have a religion other than Native American and few others, then you believe that the soul either inhabits another body or goes to heaven where you live for the rest of eternity.  from the religious point of view, Gods are perfect, and therefore do not "mess up" with things as important as souls.

Answer 8

Orb - a phenomenon claimed to be seen by some people with the naked eye, though more usually are captured on camera, considered by some to be paranormal and by others to be caused by the camera flash reflecting off dust.

The term orb is the popular name given to typically circular anomalies appearing in photographs. In photography and video, orbs appear to be balls, diamonds, or smears of light with an apparent size in the image ranging from a golfball to a basketball. Orbs sometimes appear to be in motion, leaving a trail behind them.

There are two main schools of thought regarding the cause of orbs in photographs. The first school sees it as a fairly clear-cut case of flash reflection off of dust, particles, insects, or moisture droplets in the air in front of the camera, i.e. they are naturalistic. The opposing school maintains that orbs are paranormal in nature, i.e. non-naturalistic and ghost like.

Some people claim that paranormal orbs are more likely to appear in certain locales, or are attracted to human actitivities, especially those involving children. The images on Internet fora devoted to orbs are taken in graveyards, backyards, attics, and kitchens, living rooms, as well as bars, convention centers, and city streets – in short, anywhere people may be taking photos. Locations in which orbs are frequently observed are often said to be associated with other 'supernatural activity' and haunting taking place.

As orb photos may demonstrably be gained anywhere, the position of "ghost hunters" who claim orb photos are more common in allegedly haunted areas is significantly weakened. That orb photos can be gained anywhere has, however, been adopted into the position of conspiracy theorists who maintain that orbs are probes/devices being used by an alien culture to monitor human activities.

Orb photos have become so common that some ghost hunting organizations are no longer accepting submissions of them, or specifying that only "exceptional" examples be presented.
