Do you know what are spirit orbs or their meanings? Well, in this expert, we will discuss spirit orbs in detail and also try to understand why they are more common than the full-body manifestations in the paranormal world?
What are Spirit Orbs?
An orb is also known as a ball of light as it has a glow in it and is in a spherical shape. People believe that orbs contain the energy of the people who have died and are basically the remnants of what the person used to be. Therefore, they are called spirit orbs. Meanwhile, the cynics are of the belief that they are nothing but particles of dust and dirt. Both the cynics and the believers have different and polarised opinions when it comes to orbs.
Why are Spirit Orbs More Common than Full-Body Apparitions?
Spirit Orbs are much more common than full-body apparitions. It is because orbs require much less energy than a ghost to manifest. For a ghost to produce a full visual apparition of themselves, who they were and what they looked like requires a lot of energy. And when I say “a lot”, it is usually much more than that!
Of course, spirit orbs have their own sets of problems. In addition, they are not nearly as convincing as a full-body apparition to many. Also, some spirit orbs are nothing more than bugs, light reflections, dust, and a whole host of other things. Therefore, it is easy to make mistakes in identifying a spirit orb from visual anomalies.
However, without getting too scientific, let me say that many orbs are ghosts. Some orbs are even spirits. And this is very similar to the difference between a ghost and a spirit. Just to brush you up, there’s a big difference between a Spirit (those who have transitioned) and a Ghost (those who have not). A ghost depends on Earthly energy to stay here. A Spirit has its own supply of energy from the other side. Since the energy of a Ghost is denser, they are mostly earth-bound. In contrast, spirits have passed onto the higher realms.
Ghosts can easily bang utensils, move chairs, throw things because it does not take them much effort. Spirit orbs can do the same things as well, but it requires much more energy because they vibrate at a higher frequency. Therefore, they don’t do it nearly as much as ghosts do. This is why you’ll hear and see a ghost much more easily than you’ll ever hear or see a spirit.
How Do The Orbs Manifest?
They are much the same as any manifestation in the paranormal universe. Now the question is how they appear. What they do is bind together little bundles of energy. (often ectoplasm) This energy can be from various sources – mediums, psychics, batteries, electricity, and everything else with a physical form. They do this to create a physical and visual happening, maybe a sensation, maybe a banging of door or likewise. Hence, orbs are actually a very big deal when they’re real.
Spirit orbs, in essence, are like a miniature version of the energy of that spirit/ghost. Just like, if you were somehow trapped in a ball that floats and you can move, travel, and do as you like. Similarly, orbs can move, interact, and can even influence the sensations of our bodies if they get near us. Some orbs even have the power to get inside a human being. But that is a different story.
My Encounter with Spirit Orbs
My first encounter with a spirit orb from the paranormal took place long back. It is around 20 years later that I am recounting the details of the story. A few of my friends and I were sitting in the back room. We had sealed all the points from where any light could enter the room. It was a class of some sort if I can recall it correctly. Everyone was exchanging psychic messages with one another. Since it was my first trip, I was unable to make out any psychic messages. But, occasionally, I was able to witness small little flashes in the room. It was surreal and felt as if the room had somehow flooded with the lights of twinkling night bugs.
Their movements were quite uncanny – sometimes bright, the very next, dim. This phenomenon happened for over an hour. At the end of the class, we were required to go around the room and share anything we saw that we hadn’t mentioned. I remember being very embarrassed to say that the only thing I saw was these darn lightning bugs. But my teacher, a rather aged and well-seasoned spiritualist minister, was ecstatic once I did share. He went on to tell me they were spirit lights. So that was my first encounter with orbs.
Orbs are As Real As It Gets
What I saw was as real as spirit orbs can get. The lights are very powerful. This is why both spirit and ghost can manifest in the form of light and energy. Sometimes ectoplasm also gets mixed with the orbs. What this does is it multiplies them significantly. That is what I believed took place that day. Therefore the orbs were very prominent. Orbs are probably the most substantial evidence in paranormal investigations. But they are as easy to mistake. Therefore, it is imperative that you debunk all the false claims and look at them in the light way to gather maybe the most substantial evidence while hunting ghosts.
Quite simply, orbs are the easiest way many spirits can manifest with the amount of energy they have to work with. Whenever it comes to orbs, let them multiply. Politely ask them to show you a sign. Know that they listen. And if they want, they can communicate whether through physical sensations or any other way. To wrap it up, it is important to gather evidence while doing paranormal investigations and spirit orbs are one such piece.
