His Striking Orb Experience

The following case report comes from a scientific paper published in Frontiers in Psychology:

"One evening, while I was in the room where we were staying, I suddenly saw a great white light. It was not dazzling, but its whiteness was unnatural, I mean it did not seem to be like the white light from natural or artificial sources we know, nor did it come in from outside. Then, some balls of light appeared; I did not count them, but there were perhaps five or six, and they could have been about 1.5 meters in diameter. These balls were translucent with the same color as the light, but less transparent and thicker, though I noticed that they did not cast any shadow. At the time, I had a profound feeling as if all the beings of the world were within me and, at the same, I felt as if I were within them. The source of light was ellipsoid. It was Love and Joy, and I felt a sort of stream through me. I use the term ‘stream’, but it was not so clearly definable. I cannot use the term ‘wind’, because wind comes from outside, while I felt this stream inside me. I was so enraptured that I had stopped breathing. I was fully lucid, however, and realized that I was not breathing, so I started breathing again, but my breathing disturbed the vision and, after a few breaths, it vanished.”

The paper cites this case as being very remarkable, since it has some aspects of a near-death experience, even though there was nothing wrong with the person's health.

I have never had an experience so mystical, but I certainly get my share of transparent orbs, as shown in the recent photo below:

This is the 36th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a stripe just like this one, stretching from the top right to the bottom left of the orb. This repeating pattern is one of 27 repeating patterns I have observed in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The visual below shows examples of each of these patterns, and how many occurrences of the patterns I have photographed.  You can see many examples of each of these patterns by looking at this post.

A Paranormal Father's Day?

I have a document keeping a record of all odd things that I observe other than orbs that appear in my photos (this blog is the record of my orb observations). In that document I have a record of more than 200 anomalous coin observations such as this inexplicable sighting of a coin rolling up from behind me while I was alone at home. If I do something like walk down the street and see a coin on the street, I won't record it in this document. But if I suddenly notice a coin in a spot that I had previously observed in the same hour and seen no such coin, I will record such a coin sighting in the document.

There's a laundromat that I go where I get countless anomalous-seeming coin observations. When I go into the laundromat, I always walk around looking for coins on the floor, and I virtually never find any.  But then later on in the hour, one or two coins will tend to show up. I must have seen 70+ such coins that showed up at this laundromat after I had previously checked that there were no coins on its floor.

Yesterday (which was Father's Day) a coin showed up at this laundromat in a startling fashion. I was drying some clothes, and put the clothes in the upper dryer above another dryer. After starting up the dryer, I look down and see a coin I failed to notice before. The coin was perched on the little window ledge of the dryer door. How could a coin possibly have got to such a spot? I suppose someone could have placed it there as some kind of "let me put a coin in some weird funky place" kind of lark, but you would think a coin could never stay in such a spot for more than an hour, as opening the dryer door would cause it to fall.

When I got back to my apartment, I observed the 15th and 16th cases of something spooky I have seen over the past several months: the flashlight at the back of my Samsung tablet device turning on mysteriously, while the tablet was turned off and recharging. The flashlight at the back of the tablet cannot be turned on through manual effort; it has no switch. I know of no way to turn on the flashlight at the back of the tablet when the tablet is turned off. But nonetheless I have seen 16 different times of such a flashlight mysteriously turning on while the tablet was turned off.  This happens something like one day in 10 or 15 that I use the Samsung tablet.

Postscript: On July 22, 2018, I went to the laundromat, and did my regular routine of looking around on the floors for coins, finding none, as usual.  After washing my clothes and putting them in the dryer, I saw a clean stretch of floor ahead of me, parallel to a row of dryers. For some reason I had a kind of impulse to walk down that area of the floor for about 15 feet, to see whether I could see a coin on the floor. I walked down the empty floor area about 15 feet, and saw no coins on the floor. I  then turned around. Then I was startled to see a penny on the ground, very noticeable, in the exact path that I had just walked without noticing a penny, while specifically looking for coins on the ground.  In a case like this I just have to ask myself: how could I possibly have failed to see that coin while walking past its location the first time? It's just as if the coin had suddenly materialized during my brief stroll of 15 feet. Things this strange involving coins happen to me very frequently.

They Saw Orbs

The document here is a long collection of reports of people who reported seeing something paranormal, often what the witnesses described as fairies. Mixed within the reports are occasional reports of people seeing mysterious orbs with their own eyes, or photographing orbs with an image inside them. Below are some of the interesting reports. 

Page 65: ‘I have often seen lights orbs and mists while watching TV or listening to music.’
Page 69: “The second kind were like orbs of light darting around, you could see light bursting from their bodies. ”
Page 113: “Once back home, I zoomed in on my orb photos taken during that last evening, and found upon enlargement, in one of them, there was an unmistakable being with wings.”
Page 114: “It was dark outside and I pressed halfway down on my camera and through the viewfinder, there were about three large blue orbs right by the window pane, as if they were looking in on us from the outside!”
Page 115: “I have managed to see little blue lights or orbs around my flat from time to time.”
Page 115: “The third fairy, which also appeared in an orb, was blue and had a cherubic face.
Page 115: “In another photo of an orb, a blue one, when enlarged, I could make out a beatific little childlike face, which had a garland of flowers round its neck.”
Page 115: "Though it appeared in an orb, I had the impression (perhaps this was communicated to me telepathically) that this being’s real size was much taller than I am.”
Page 116: “The blue orbs appeared when I was playing with my cat Fig.”
Page 138: “When involved in healing work have observed small winged creatures inside different colored orbs of light around subject.”
Page 201: “I have seen a lot of things in my life, like ghosts, orbs, UFOs but have never seen a mythical creature like the beloved fairy.”
Page 223: “What they were seeing were lights, like glowing orbs the size of a fist.”
Page 270: “Other things happened in that cabin on the water that were what you might call supernatural, but nothing like the glowing orb ever appeared to any human person ever again.”
Page 294: “‘I have taken photos of spirit orbs and Earth bound souls for over a year now. I am gifted to be able to cross souls to the light therefore my love and light are very strong and I attract a lot of spirits and angels to me as you can imagine.”
Page 304: “Then a florescent purple orb about the size of a small basket ball came into the room and landed next to me on the bed. We exchanged a mental greeting to each other and I thanked it for showing itself to me. Then it streaked out of the room disappearing through the ceiling.”
Page 314: Going back to camp my friend saw a floating orb light, it looked like a lantern floating through the air. We camped in these woods several nights and saw the orb lights twice more.
Page 314: “I turned to see what was making the sound and an ORB about two and a half inches in circumference flew over my shoulder and in front of me. I was in awe. It was golden green with a tinge of blue and it left a trail of glittering gold with a tinge of green ‘dust’ behind it. Even after the orb disappeared the glittering dust remained until it slowly faded. It was the most beautiful thing, that I had ever seen.
Page 318: “Faerie orbs fly around the house and gardens.”

Below is a mysterious orb I photographed yesterday, one of 500+ mysterious striped orbs I have photographed.

Dumbfounding Dark Diamonds

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see some orbs that all have diamond-shaped holes.

Another example is below:

What is very strange is that I will get these types of anomalies only occasionally when photographing water drops falling. For every day that I get such anomalies, there will be two or three days when I get no such anomaly photographing under exactly the same conditions under which the anomalies appeared.
