Question: my friends and i did an amateur investigation at a cemetery and i took some pictures that appear to have some orbs but i would like to get a professional investigators opinion.
also, at one point we found a grave of a child who died when he was only 2 1/2 and out of curiosity i crouched by it and asked "would you like to hold my hand?" and i held it out, and after a minute, my hand got a lot warmer and i felt a tingling, tickling sensation moving back and forth against the back of my hand. think that might have been the child?
Answer: Since we were not at the investigation, we really couldn't say if what you experienced in your hand was paranormal or not. If it were our investigation, we would probably be skeptical unless there were some other corroborating evidence. For example, if an EMF meter went off, or we got an EVP at that time, or there was a verifiable temperature drop along with the personal experience, we woiuld be more likely to present it as possibly paranormal. Otherwise, it's interesting and anomalous but not evidence of a ghost.
Your picture shows dust or other air particles. Sorry to say, but unfortunately a lot of people, especially new investigators, really want to believe that orbs are ghosts but from our perspective (and from the perspective of many other experience, reputable investigators), they are light refractions. My mother was a professional photographer, she is the one who first clued me in. Did you view our video on youtube? We can recreate the orbs in your picture easily. If something can be so easily recreated via reasonable, non-paranormal means, any reputable investigator would throw it out.
