Debunking orbs is something as an investigator that we all must do. The thing is, is all places that are investigated will have some sort of dust particles in the air that could be if caught on camera considered an orb. This is one of the hardest jobs when investigating anywhere is debunking whether what you capture is an orb or something else. In this article we will go into the science behind it all.

        Let us talk about many of the orb photos that are caught. These can have a remarkably simple explanation. Many of these pictures float around the web and most of them are either blurry or to pixelated to even make out. I am sure you are asking well than if its not an orb what is the simpler explanation of it. Many of the photos are just dust particles reflecting off the light of the camera from the flash or flashlight. This is one of the most common things that happens when using regular cameras or cellphones.

        What are other phenomena that occur that can debunk orbs. One especially in swampy areas can be debunked as being methane gas or possibly other types of gas created by plants. Another one especially which has happened to us a lot is insects. What appears to be an orb at the time, upon further analysis we realize that it was an insect and sometimes wings can be made out when zooming in depending on photos or video captured. This is one reason that these can be mistaken for spirit orbs more times than not. One of the easiest ways to debunk this orb theory is the speed at which it moves and the blur behind it, which makes it quite easy to decide what it was.

        Now let us explain some ways that you can decipher the difference between the mentioned above and a spirit orb. One way to do this is to use high resolution cameras and have a good light source to help minimize any possible interpretation of dust orbs. This will give you a much clearer image when zooming in on the photo and you will have an easier time figuring out whether it was dust or an actual spirit.

        Lastly, we will talk about a good way to know if you captured a spirit orb. Many people are skeptical about any orb photo that is presented. One thing that can be a surefire is if you see the orb with the naked eye first before capturing anything on camera you can be sure what you saw was paranormal in nature. This being that dust is not easily seen in a dark place with the naked eye or without light guiding the way. If you are ever in a dark place with no light and see an orb like shape be sure to know the surroundings at the time to make a sound decision.

        In closing, orbs are a highly debated subject but can be debunked in many ways, but also can be a good capture for evidence if it is. Even though it is a common occurrence to catch orbs over actual manifestations of ghosts or demons, it is still a piece of evidence that can lead to a better understanding of what is and what is not an orb. This type of evidence is still based off what you believe and interpretation. So good luck and happy hunting.
