Q.
WHAT ARE ORBS? MY HUSBAND
SAYS THAT ORBS ARE NOTHING
BUT DUST BALLS. HE SAYS THEY
ARE NOT GHOSTS. BUT I TOOK
A PICTURE THAT HAS A FACE
IN IT!
A.
Orbs are a controversial topic.
There are three schools of
thought about this. Some people
believe that orbs are nothing
more than reflections that
refract into a sphere when
the camera flash bounces off
dust or pollen floating around
in the atmosphere. They say
that when faces seem to appear
inside an orb, this is merely
a perceptual phenomenon in
the human brain called matrixing,
or the tendency for the human
brain to perceive images in
the form of familiar shapes.
To them, orbs are not paranormal
and they tend to dismiss orbs
entirely.
The
second school of thought says
that orbs might be elementals
(sometimes referred to as
fairies), ghosts, angels,
or human souls that simply
appear in a luminous spherical
form. They believe that Spirit
beings will take on a spherical
shape because a sphere is
the most perfect form found
in the Spirit world. These
believers point out that there
are faces in some orbs. People
in this group believe that
orbs cannot be dismissed as
a mere product of the camera's
flash hitting a lens that
is close to it, as found today
in digital cameras.
The
third group believes that
orbs are the forms that are
produced when energy is transferred
from a power source (i.e.
a battery or electrical source)
into another form. As an example,
people in this group believe
that the human soul becomes
orb-shaped when we die and
others think that the human
soul becomes orb shaped while
transferring energy to become
something else, which could
be a ghost.
So
which school are you? No matter
what you believe, it is a
fact that orbs are still quite
controversial in the world
of paranormal investigation.
Q.
SOMETIMES I WATCH GHOST
HUNTER SHOWS AND THEY SHOW
PEOPLE RUNNING AND SCREAMING.
TELL ME: CAN GHOSTS HURT US?
A.
The short answer is NO. The
longer answer is maybe, depending...Depending
on what? Well, one thing to
remember is that ghosts are
people too. This is a saying
among ghost hunters. When
we "hunt" ghosts,
we are mostly hunting the
spirits of human beings -
a highly emotional, violent
and sometimes angry species.
Often,
ghosts are thought to inhabit
the scenes where they lived
or died violently. If you
are scared a ghost might hurt
you, you can ask yourself:
Am I ever scared that another
human being could hurt me?
Obviously,
we humans hurt each other
every day. However, a ghost
has one major disadvantage
in a tangle with us: they
are not physical. We are on
our home turf in the physical
dimension. It is our realm.
It is not the natural realm
of Ghosts. Ghosts really shouldn't
even be here - they are spirits
and should not even be tampering
or lingering in the physical
dimension at all.
Any
damage a ghost or spirit can
do is purely mental
- but mental damage is still
a powerful thing. For those
of us still in a physical
body, our greatest disadvantage
is fear of the unknown. This
is what an angry ghost could
play on. This is why ghost
hunters are seen running and
screaming.
Therefore,
can a ghost hurt us? Sure,
just like a human without
a physical body can. But we
have our bodies and our minds.
So we have the advantage in
a conflict with a human spirit.
It really is true that our
greatest enemy is not a ghost
but our own fears.
Q.MY
FRIENDS AND I ARE USING AN
EMF METER TO HUNT GHOSTS.
I KNOW THEY ARE USED TO TELL
IF THERE'S A GHOST AROUND.
BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE
EMF METER IS NOT JUST PICKING
UP MY ENERGY TOO?
A. This is a good question.
But first, let's discuss the
idea that EMF meters will
tell if there is a ghost around.
We can only say that there
is no certainty that it will.
The only thing that an EMF
meter (electromagnetic frequency
meter) will indicate, is the
level of EMF energy in a specific
location. However, most common
EMF detectors are capable
of measuring a range of EMF
energy that is fairly limited
compared to the entire range
of EMF radiation in the universe.
 Electromagnetic
energy is simply a wastebasket
term for any radiation that
the universe emits to a measurable
degree. This means any visible
or non-visible radiation.
By radiation, we mean energy
that is emitted in the form
of waves (light) or particles
(photons). For instance, a
light bulb will emit radiation
that is visible. This is the
light that we use to read.
However, a microwave emits
radiation that is not visible
when it cooks our popcorn.
According
to the NASA site, Imagine
the Universe, the Universe
itself is the biggest generator
of radiation. However, the
human brain also generates
radiation, or EMFs, even if
at an extra-low rate or frequency.
So,
if human beings generate EMFs
and an EMF meter is meant
to pick up that sort of energy,
then how do we know if our
EMF meters are not really
just picking up our energy?
The answer is we don't. Run
your own test with your EMF
meter and pass it over your
own body without standing
in proximity to any high EMF
energy spike areas. This will
require you to conduct a quick
location baseline scan first
to make sure you are not standing
next to a wall filled with
electric conduits or a microwave.
Another
little problem to be brought
up is this one: how do we
even know ghosts produce EMFs?
Just because living people
produce a little bit of EMF
energy doesn't mean that dead
people also produce EMFs.
Also, if ghosts do produce
EMFs, they may not be producing
EMFs that are measurable on
modern ghost hunter's EMF
meter, which has a limited
range. (Note: Look at the
LINKS on this site for a good
article on this dilemma under
"EMFs.")
Q.
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN DOING
SOME GHOST HUNTING BUT I DON'T
KNOW WHERE TO START. I DON'T
HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND I
SEE GHOST HUNTERS ON TV WITH
SOME PRETTY EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.
WHAT DO I NEED? IS IT POSSIBLE
TO BECOME A GHOST HUNTER WITHOUT
SPENDING ALOT OF MONEY?
A.
Let's hope so! A lot of us
don't have the money to buy
the kind of expensive equipment
used by ghost hunters like
TAPS on TV. The high-tech
equipment that TAPS and others
use has earned respect and
interest from those who are
empirically minded in our
society - and proper and balanced
use of such equipment has
advanced the field of paranormal.
However,
using costly, high-tech equipment
has also set an expectation
that this is the only acceptable
standard in the field of ghost
hunting. Nothing could be
further from the truth! Ghost
hunting has been around since
mankind has walked the earth.
In more modern times of the
20th century, some of the
best pieces of paranormal
evidence has been picked up
by someone's phone answering
machine, an old camera, or
a a handheld cassette tape
recorder. Many successful
ghost hunters get started
this way. Finally, don't forget
that the MOST important tool
of all in ghost hunting is
the human element: YOU! The
use of your brain and gut
instinct are priceless. They
are the most valuable tools
of all, and you already are
the owner of them!
Q.
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE WHAT
A GHOST OR SPIRIT IS?
A.
There are many definitions
of a ghost. It might depend
on your view of reality, spiritual
beliefs and culture. All world
cultures have a concept of
ghosts.
In
the Western world of the 21st
century, a ghost is a dead
person whose nonphysical energy
inhabits a location or is
attached to a person or a
group (such as their family).
Ghosts
are believed to produce evidence
of their existence by making
sounds, appearing as an image
or moving objects around.
Many people today believe
that human beings can become
ghosts if they do not "cross
over" at the time of
their death. Crossing over
means going on to the next
highest spiritual level -
such as "going into the
Light" or "going
to Heaven".
Ghosts
who do not cross over are
thought to stay on earth because
they have some unfinished
business, such as concern
over a child, or else being
a victim of an emotional shocking
event, such as a murder. A
good example of this shown
in modern film is Ghost (1990).
Q.
WHY ARE GHOSTS ALWAYS SEEN
DRESSED IN CLOTHES AND NOT
NAKED?
A.
We don't take our clothes
with us to Heaven, do we?
I have never heard of a naked
ghost! In the history of ghost
sightings, all ghosts are
observed clothed. Sometimes,
ghosts are very elaborately
dressed in the style of their
day (such as a military uniform
of that time).
Something
to remember about the spiritual
level: it is completely mental.
The spiritual world operates
completely by thought. Everything
that is exists comes about
by thought alone.
Therefore,
for example, if someone wants
to have a nice juicy burger,
all a spirit has to do is
to think about a burger and
one will appear. Likewise,
if a ghost or spirit thinks
about him/herself, they appear
in the clothes they most remember
from their lifetime on earth.
Another
thought: none of us would
dream of being seen naked
by other people when we stepped
out of our house. Why would
the ghost of a human being
do this?
