Orbs in my backyard

I recently finished reading The Orb Project and it reminded me of my own history with orbs. I took my first orb pictures in April 2007 at the Monroe Institute when it was suggested they appeared frequently in the area. At first, I thought this meant that orbs were only present in spiritual areas. While back at the Monroe Institute in August 2007, someone else suggested I could take orb pictures in my own backyard (or anywhere) simply by creating the intention that they would appear. I surprised myself by discovering this was true. Some nights I get many orbs, other nights nothing at all.

When I heard orb specialist and author Miceal Ledwith was giving a local lecture, I jumped at the chance to learn more about orbs. At his presentation, he showed slide upon slide of his own orb pictures, he claims to have over 100,000. His method was similar to mine, simply sitting in his yard taking pictures night after night with the intention to capture orbs.

During a break I showed him my pictures and was especially interested in his opinion on several photos I fondly called my angel spirits. These were bright objects taken at night in a dark area with nothing to reflect from, but were not round like typical awards. They were intriguingly shaped like a human figure, a bell and an angel. I was convinced they were some kind of spirit energy. Ledwith quickly burst my bubble and claimed they were merely reflective objects, like bugs. I still have a little trouble with this explanation since I saw no bugs in the air and thought they’d have to be pretty large to produce the images in my photos. However, I was pleased when he verified that, based on his experiences, most of my other traditionally round objects appeared to be “authentic” orbs.
