OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) — The Alexander Inn in Oak Ridge will be inspected by two paranormal investigation groups this summer.

The inn, also known as the Guest House, was used by notable figures during the Manhattan Project when Oak Ridge was known as “the secret city” while the atomic bomb was developed.

The two groups are the Tennessee Division Office of Paranormal Studies, based out of Crossville and Chattanooga, and Secret City Paranormal, headed by Oak Ridge area residents Scott McGill and Greg Murr.

According to The Oak Ridger newspaper, speculation has endured that the inn is haunted.

The Office of Paranormal Studies will do its investigation at the end of this month, the Secret City group in late July.

Amazing Orbs Pictures from British Columbia

I already posted this fantastic orbs photograph on January 23rd, 2009, but did not attribute it to Norman Thomas. Norman is one of the contact people for my upcoming event, 2012, Edgar Cayce and the Maya, in Comox, British Columbia.

Since I will be speaking in Comox on May 28th (this Thursday) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., I wanted to post Norman’s photograph again because it shows the strong Native presence in Canada’s most westerly province and it also gives me a sense of the innate power of the land in B.C.

By the way, if you’re interested in attending the event, Norman and Anjali Thomas’ phone number is: 250-338-1690 and their email is: anjali_thomas@shaw.ca. (Just click on the photo to enlarge it.)

Here is the photo:

Thanks so much for sending the wonderful photo, Norman!

Orbs Photos from a Spiritual Retreat in India

Hi again,

I promised you more orbs photographs from recipients of this enewsletter. Here are some of them.

These orbs photos are from Michael Day. As before, I’ve also included close ups of various orbs. By the way, for your information, you can see these photograph in an enlarged format if you click on them.

This orbs photo shows a close up of the orb floating above the man in blue with his hands in a prayerful pose. I’ve used Photoshop‘s “brighten and contrast” feature to bring out the patterns in the orb. By doing so, I inadvertently exposed more orbs than were previously visible.

Although these photos were submitted specifically to show orbs in a photograph, I also enjoy the opportunity to view the experience of being at a spiritual retreat in India. This photograph also shows a couple of golden orbs.

A close up of the large orb in the above photograph.

I like this close up because it shows a number of orbs superimposed one on top of the other. I also like that you can see how transparent they are and the patterns within the orbs. 

This final orbs photos shows a cloud of orbs. If they truly are spirits, as some people believe, there certainly were many attracted to this spiritual retreat in India.

A close up of the glowing orb above the man’s head in the above orbs picture – lovely.

Thanks, Michael Day, for sending these orbs photos to me so I could share them with others.

There are still more Orbs Photos to come and I will post them when I get home from Yucatan. I’m leaving tomorrow to take the final footage for my 2012 movie.

Orb Appears During Ghost Hunters Investigatation

 While paranormal investigators scanned the Sandusky Hotel in Sandusky, Indiana, for ghosts, a floating orb appeared, which was captured on video. At the same time, the paranormal investigator’s instruments registered heightened electrical energy. The Sandusky Hotel used to be a nursing home. Investigators deemed it a likely candidate for ghosts since people had died during the time the building had been a nursing home.

Another interesting incident occurred when a video camera captured a moving orb, or transparent ball. Stone notes that an orb is on the left in the video and says that instruments showed a burst of electrical energy.

Ghost’s2009 My Story: Ghost hunters investigate Sandusky’s Hotel Rieger

Although the orb appeared on videotape, Rob Stone, of Nomine Paranormal Research of Fort Wayne, Indiana, said that investigators have to be careful about attributing orbs to ghosts. He also said that about 99.9 percent of the time, orbs in photographs are produced by dust, insects and other natural phenomena.

I wonder, then, was this orb the 0.1 percent of orbs that is actually spirit based, according to Rob Stone’s definition of orbs, or was it a floating dust mote?

A Fun Orbs Photo

This is from Marianna Vanderklift in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. She sent this fun orb picture of her cousin, David Chasse, who is a singer and performer in Holland.

The orb is floating over the cousin’s right thigh. He’s dressed up in red and green finery for a Christmas greeting that reads, “Merry Christmas Baby!” What fun!

Here is a close up of the above orb. I’ve used brightness/contrast in Photoshop to make the orb more visible against the black coat. Amazingly,this orb appears to have a comical face in it. Is this just a coincidence or the face of the spirit represented by the orb?

Here, again, is the close up of the orb in one of the orb photos taken by Margaret G. in New Zealand posted February 13, 2009 on this blog. This orb also appears to have a face in it. Margaret has subsequently informed me that what I thought might be a goatee in this image is actually a light switch on the wall behind the orb. Oh!

Thanks, Marianna for sending the fun picture of your cousin.

More Orbs Feedback

As promised, here are more emails I received from readers of my enewsletters about their experiences with and opinions of orbs:

• Madonna G., in Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA wrote, “I have a friend, whose daughter is 12 years old, all pic’s of the daughter have orbs, even when she received a ‘higher’ belt in some form of Martial Arts!!!”
• I say, about the above email, that I wonder if some spirit entity like a Guardian Angel oversees this young lady as an orb.
• Martin A., in Wisconsin, USA sent a number of emails. I’ve put together excerpts from three of them:  “of course there are virtual images of entities of interdimensional space all arounds us all the time. . . . Trained and gifted psychics and clairvoyants can see orbs and spirit entities with their third eye chakra open. They can diagnose health issues as well, . . . Of course the spirit intelligence is small. It does not need a big astral-etheric body to be presence to be around human bodies,which are heavy duty equipment in comparison to spirit size which only needs a small light body smaller than the head of an ignited safety match head to embody all its functions and DNA patterns to manifest into a full size human structure –  bigger or smaller.

Thank you, Madonna and Martin, for sending your views on orbs to add to the many interesting and intriguing insights I’ve received.

Orbs Comments from Readers

When I began writing about orbs, I received many emails from readers of my enewsletters containing comments about orbs. I had specifically asked:

1. Do you have photographs with orbs in them? If so, send them to me and I’ll post them in my enewsletters and in my blog to share them with others. I have done so and have a few more amazing orbs photos yet to post.
2. Can you see orbs with the naked eye?
3. What do you think orbs are?

 Here are some of the answers:

• From Barbara S. in Ontario, Canada:  She said that, yes, there had been orbs in pictures of her son’s wedding (another reader has also said that they often turn up in photos when people are celebrating) and in other photos too. Barbara said, “We regard them fondly as entities/spirits. Like family.”
• Zihna J. in Wisconsin, USA says, “I took orb pics for several years, trying to figure out what they were. I actually was able to ask them to be in a certain place. . . . I think these are intelligent energies, perhaps interdimensional beings. We see them as orbs in this dimension, but I think the orbs are merely how they move…sort of like a Merkaba.”

Thanks so much Barbara S. and Zihna J. for sharing your interesting experiences and ideas on orbs. More later . . .

Blessings,

Orbs Pictures from New Zealand

Margaret G., North Island, NZ, was kind enough to send these orbs photos. The first three were taken within a few seconds of each other. Margaret says that she stayed still as she took the photos. However, when she looked at the photos afterwards, she could see that the orbs had been moving.

Because of the light background, some of the orbs are very difficult to see. Therefore, Margaret drew lines on the photographs to show the location of the orbs.

These are photos of Margaret’s husband and their granddaughters.

Please note the large orb at the foot of the chair on the right. Margaret says that their now-deceased Labrador dog used to lay exactly in that spot. She says that “The children loved him, and I’m wondering if that actually was him visiting!”

Here is an enlargement of the large orb situated at the spot where Margaret’s beloved Labrador dog used to sit.

I find it interesting that so many of the orbs I’ve shown enlarged have a definite ring around their perimeter as does this one.

Note the orb floating at the top of the photo.

Here is that orb enlarged and brightened/contrasted with Photoshop. Do you see what appears to be two eyes, a nose, a little mouth, and a wee goatee?

A few seconds later and the large orb where the dog used to sit is gone as is the orb that, when enlarged, appeared to have a face. There are only multiple orbs that are difficult to see against the light background.

While many of us in the Northern Hemisphere usually experience winter temperatures at New Year’s Eve, Margaret and her family were out camping in New Zealand on New Year’s Eve, 2006.

Here’s a close up, which has also been brightened/contrasted in Photoshop, of the orb in the middle of the photo above. Again, it has a distinct ring around the perimeter.

Thank you, Margaret, for sending these photos to share with us.
