Spirit Orbs Among Us

Orbs are among us. These balls of light sometimes show up in photographs and are believed to be ghostly entities, as they typically show up in cemeteries and haunted buildings. However, it has been my experience that an orb can show up anywhere, anytime…even in places one would never expect to see one.

I have been seeing orbs all my life, as far back as I can remember. Seeing orbs always gives me a feeling of loving spirit around me. It is my belief that spirit orbs are pure energy and love. They are consciousness.

Some orbs that appear in a photograph may be a speck of dust or insect. But not the ones I see. In fact, when some of those ‘speck of dust’ photos are enlarged, you can sometimes recognize a face in it. So, you may want to take another look at some of those orb photos.

Orbs often just float right by, suspended in the air. They may stop and be stationary for a few seconds, and then speed right away. Orbs come in all shapes and sizes in an array of colors. Just like people they are all unique. And what one person can see, another may not see.

In the old family house I live in, it is a common experience to see spirit orbs. All three of my granddaughters have also seen spirit orbs following them around. Like me, my daughter and granddaughters see spirit clearly, like living people sitting on the sofa in my living room. Orbs are a common occurrence in our lives.

I think spirit orbs are glimpses of all the divine, celestial beings that are always around. They surround us and are there guiding and loving us. Of course we have to be willing to receive the love and accept the guidance ~ Susan Gregg

One Christmas a family discussion about spirit and orbs took place. One of my granddaughters suggested we take a family photo to see if orbs may be around. Well, sure enough, in the picture one was on my head another on my daughter’s knee. Two more appeared by the ceramic Christmas tree which belonged to my mother.

The very first series of orbs that came to my attention in that house were bright balls of light that went zapping right through my bedroom quite fast. I had to blink a couple of times to make sure I was really seeing them. I just knew without a doubt that the brightest one was my dad and ancestors that had lived in that house before me. I am a fourth generation owner of this historic house.

One night, I was taking a walk on the beach near the spiritualist camp in Northport, Maine, with a group of friends. We were all taking pictures of the Harvest Moon across the ocean. In one picture a huge orb was on the back of friend. Inside it one can see the face of a past president of the Temple Heights spiritual camp. What a gift it was from spirit!

Sometimes, when I teach a class, we often talk about orbs. Almost all the students usually have a story or a picture about them. Not all people see them with the naked eye. I consider it a privilege when this happens.

One time a green orb stayed with me on a night walk, for what seemed like several minutes. I asked, “Who are you?” It was a friend who was a great medium who showed himself to me in the orb. I then asked, “Why are you here?” The answer I received in my mind was, “I just wanted you to know you are safe walking the beach alone.” It seems like people see orbs more at night, but they do come around in the daytime.

One of the most interesting photographs I have seen was of an old farm house of a student’s grandparents. The house had lighting rods on the roof. Lightning rods are metal rods or wire fixed to the outside of a building, usually the roof, to divert lighting harmlessly into the ground to protect the building. They are a common site in new England, especially on older buildings. In the photo, right between two of these rods, there is an orb about three feet in diameter. It is a green orb featuring her grandfather’s face.

If you see orbs, know that you are not alone.
