What are orbs?

It is said that, after we pass away, for a while we can still manifest in certain ways - for example, causing objects to move in a room, or have them mysteriously appear or disappear for no apparent reason.

In addition, because the spirit presence gives off energy, that energy can be detected by our five senses - sometimes we hear voices or sounds, sometimes blurry apparitions. Occasionally we feel like somebody's just touched or brushed up against us. We sometimes sense familiar odours that are related to the loved ones who have left us.

Modern video and audio equipment allows us to record some of these energy-based manifestations. In the case of video cameras, some allow an infrared recording mode, which is highly sensitive to the red portion of the visible spectrum, as well as heat radiation.

On September 10th, 2005, three days after Stevi passed away, I had an opportunity to have a "conversation" with him while recording the results on a high-resolution broadcast quality video camera. The edited chat is here.

Some of these light anomalies are difficult to see, especially with typically compressed Internet video, so the video has been enhanced in places. The anomalies are also repeated in the video, in slow motion. To maintain the best quality,  there are two versions of the video file. The large file size version is of better quality, but you may prefer the smaller one for easier downloading. If you are using Windows Media Player and a high bandwidth Internet connection, you should have no problem with either one, and they will buffer on your computer so that you have reliable playback.

If you have a Mac, you can download the the .WMV player here.
