21. GHOST ORB
After my daughter was born, there were several instances when I would see a glowing orb of white light over her crib (about the size of a small round ball). This happened at night. I was fully awake when experiencing this. It happened about five different times right after she was born, and then never again. It seemed that the light would know when I saw it, because each time I became aware of it, it seemed to notice, and would “zip” away and disappear.

677. GHOST ORB
I was home along one night and had decided to take a shower before going to bed. While in the shower I heard a whistle sound. I didn’t think much of it. All the lights in the house were out. Once out of the shower I could still hear the whistle. After getting dressed I went searching for the source of the sound. I stopped dead in my tracks in our kitchen when I saw a white light, like a small orb forming in our rec room. It then began to split and form the shape of a human head and shoulders…..I didn’t stick around, I grabbed my Mom’s dog and headed for my car where I waited for my parents to get home.

651. GHOST ORB, CLAIRAUDIENCE, PREMONITION, TELEPATHY
Among many other (very diverse and generally very pleasant) “paranormal” experiences, I saw floating golden orbs on two or three occasions; and a few years ago I heard choral singing coming from a church when nobody was there or anywhere around it. (I am a healthy skeptic by nature, so I investigated all the possibilities.) I also seem to be able to ACTUALLY “hear” other people’s thoughts, regardless of the distance. But the experience I would like to relate here was a most unpleasant one.
On a certain day in 1997, I woke up with a feeling of terrible gloom opressing my chest. The feeling of a cold helpless dread was so awful that even now I don’t want to dwell on it for too long. I tried to shake it off, but it just wouldn’t go away. Perhaps half an hour after waking up I heard the faint (quite ordinary) sound of a car stopping in front of the multi-apartment building where I live. I broke in cold sweat: for some reason I was sure it was the police, and that they were coming to see ME. (Neither I or my family have never had any reason to deal with the police, and we didn’t.)
When a few seconds later I heard my doorbell ringing, I froze in horror. Then I heard knocking on the door. I didn’t answer it; I simply wasn’t ready to deal with horror. You see, I KNEW what had happened – I just didn’t dare formulating the thought in my mind. My father had died; he had collapsed in an underground garage, the victim of a heart attack. The reason why this is “unusual” (though not to me) is that my father had been perfectly fine the day before. If he was ill, we, the family, certainly didn’t know about it. He had been in the hospital only twice in his entire life.

i was about 5ish in bed and could feel and see a mass ball of bright coloured rotating, pulsating light coming towards me. i explain this as an aura ball as i do not usually see auras but rely heavily on my other senses. this was the first memorable ‘experiance’ i had.

399. GHOST ORB, HAUNTED PLACES
This just happened on .. of this year while we were staying in Glastonbury, England. It was the first night of our hotel stay and we’d been asleep for what I estimate to be 2-3 hours. Suddenly there was a loud noise of something hitting the floor that woke me up and I looked to see that my small luggage bag had been knocked off the corner chair where it had been sitting for most of the previous day. It landed with such a bang and in such a position that it did not appear to have simply fallen naturally.
My partner and I (both awake) discussed it a bit but did not get out of bed or turn on any lights. Then I noticed a small (close as I can describe) bluish-green sparkle of light in the room with us. It was at the foot of our bed and hovering just above the television set, which was turned off. The sparkle was small but appeared 3-dimensional and waxed/waned in appearance a few times before stopping or before we eventually fell back to sleep. My partner absolutely saw it as clearly as I did, and we discussed what we saw as it was happening. There was no normal source of light or reflection that we could determine causing it. Since it occurred directly after my bag had landed on the floor, I felt the two things were related. Also, the room was quite freezing the 2 days we were in it and I should also note that this building was originally built in the 15th century.

Rosemary,
This is so interesting! No, write to me what you like.
I do not think the source of the benevolence or malevolence is the energy, but the consciousness behind the energy and its intention. I suppose there are different sorts of hauntings. Some may merely be footprints of the past, but when you see stuff in your loungeroom that appears all of a sudden I think there has to be consciousness issues and reles or someone else trying to come through. (I have seen someone with an attachment once. It was bad energy and was enormous and black but I think she had been dabbling in “ego” – related things and things that were too wordly or unworldly.) I believe the consciousness possesses intelligence and more importantly a sense of humour and an interest in the playfulness of pets, which I would regard as good and healthy pursuits.
Yes, I think energy can be chameleon and portray itself as something it is not. In that instance I think you need to rely on your own spiritual intuition and your innate grasp of what is good and bad. Something could pretend to be your Dad and really be something horrible. I believe all interaction with Spirit needs to be for the greater good and also along the way for education and if you can give a hand to some lost bit of energy well and good, but at the same time let the buyer beware.
My son and I are going to the Saturday courses at Parsonage, Ryde in August. Robb Tilley from Australian Parapsychological Research Institute is running them through Macquarie College. Robb has some brilliant ghost-busting stories and it should be an interesting, informative event.

If everything is energy then isn’t consciousness energy too? Can’t an entity have intent and that intent survives beyond the grave? And, if it has these capabilities then, as you agree it can be a chameleon in the way it presents itself.
I’m not going to go any further with this Julie, for fear of going up my …..
I know of Robb but have not met him. It’s fabulous that your son is accompanying you
Cheers
Rosemary
Mmmmmmm
How did I arrive at that opinion?
Maybe wrong, but it just came to me and seems practical that spirits of loved ones would want to hang around and would be brought forward more easily and thereby manifest with the great amount of energy of a gathering of people.
Energy plays a huge part in these occurrences. Julie
I agree all is energy Julie but is energy as energy does?
For example, is an energy benevolent because that is the way it acts and is another energy form malevolent because of the way it acts.
Im sounding a bit philosophical here and thinking out loud too.
Do you think energy can portray itself as one thing and be something completely different? This question infers some sort of consciousness doesn’t it?
So, why not? We know that consciousness doesnt live in the brain. Maybe it resides in energy ….. somehow.
Phew.
Where did this stream come from?
Any thoughts or should I stop this now
Ciao

Mary,
This is just my opinion.
I do not believe you have a spirit “attached” to your family, as is.
My feeling is that this energy is of a beloved Grandmother who loves the unique energy of the family, especially when they are gathered as one. Her desire to be associated again with your family is very strong.
The “white light” indicates goodness. I think it is a lovely occurrence and should be treasured.
Regards, Julie
Hi Julie
Thanks so much for adding your opinion, which I value.
I’ll be interested to read if what you say rings true for Mary.
Are you able to give e bit more insight into how you arrived at your opinion? I’m just interested to learn.
Cheers
Rosemary
Recently, I have been taking pictures of others such as family members – nieces or nephews or friends.
There seems to be orbs or white light behind the subjects distorting the pictures and almost obscuring the subject.
Does it mean I have a spirit attached to me or a family member?
They seem to be in every recent picture I take in doors or outside.

Hi Mary
This is an interesting question you ask about orbs and attachments.
I’m not an expert on this branch of the paranormal and so I’m going to ask a member of our community, who live with orbs, so to speak, to give her opinion.
Stay tuned
Cheers
Rosemary
