While visiting my brother in Pensacola, FL I talked him into accompanying me on a candlelight tour of Fort Pickens. The old fort, originally built in 1834, saw action during the Civil War and for a short time held 15 Apache warriors captive including the legendary Geronimo.
Surrounded by darkness with only small dimly lit candles to lead our way my brother & I proceeded to take photos. These creepy pics were taken with my brother's digital camera while inside the fort. My brother, protective of his new camera, insisted on taking the photos while I directed him were to point the camera.
This was the first time I attempted to intentionally capture paranormal images.
While going through the pics on my brother's computer when we got back to his place we were both disappointed not to find a ghostly figure of a Civil War solider hiding in the shadows. Later, after closer inspection, it was hard not to notice the brightly glowing "orb" positioned just a foot or so off the ground as shown in the first pic above.
One of the leading theories concerning what orbs are, according to theshadowlands.net., is that "an orb is the energy being transferred from a source (i.e. power lines, heat energy, batteries, people, etc) to the spirit so they can manifest. This may not even be a conscious thing the spirit is doing, just a natural way they get their energy. This would explain why the orbs are round balls. According to the laws of Physics energy being transferring like that would assume its natural shape of a sphere. This theory can also be tied into the EMF readings we get during spirit activity... we do not know what orbs truly are, just that they seem to be found mainly in areas where there is ghost activity."
I later discovered that Fort Pickens was considered haunted. "Pensacola - Fort Pickens - Visitors feel presences in certain rooms; it seems like someone is watching you." http://theshadowlands.net/places/florida.htm.
These creepy pics remain as some of the best examples of orbs I've been able to capture over the years. I'm still amazed by how well defined and bright they are.
