Mysterious Orange Indoor Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 3)

 Below is Part 3 of a retrospective showing some of the better photos I have taken indoors of mysterious orange orbs.

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed near a bookcase.

Below we see some mysterious orbs I  photographed indoors, one of them orange..

Below we see a mysterious orange orb I photographed near a scale. My guess is that the photo shows two position states of an orb moving very fast. 

My photo below shows two orange orbs, one of which seemed to be moving fast:

In my photo below we see what seems to be a speeding orange orb.

We see below my TV set while an episode of Star Trek Enterprise was airing. The character on the right is supposed to be an extraterrestrial with bluish skin and two little antennae coming out of its head.  Right in front of that is a mysterious orange orb that was not part of the TV image.  It wasn't my camera flash, which never looks orange if it is reflected when I photograph the TV screen.

Spooky Trifecta

 Tonight I was alone in the house where I normally enjoy the splendid company of my wife and one or more of my daughters. As I ate I enjoyed watching a youtube.com video entitled Twilight Zone (1959): 15 Weird Facts You Didn't Know. Before, during and after my watching of the video about the weird, spooky world of TV's Twilight Zone, I saw some weird, spooky things. Specifically:

(1) Upon walking up to the kitchen, I was surprised to see a light was on on the floor above the kitchen. No such light had been on when I had lunch using that kitchen, and no one else had entered the house since that time. 

(2) While I was cooking some spaghetti, the exhaust fan above the stove (and its green indicator light) mysteriously turned off. 

(3) Later in the evening a protective hat/helmet that was hanging very securely on a hook rack was mysteriously dislodged, with the hat/helmet crashing to the ground with a loud noise (while there was no change in the hook rack that had held the hat/helmet). No one was in the room where this occurred, and no one had been in it for quite a few minutes. 

All of these types of events I have seen before. As discussed here, I have seen three times before (in 2025 and 2024) the fan above the stove mysteriously turn off, always when I was cooking spaghetti. The hat/helmet has mysteriously crashed to the ground one previous time. I have seen many cases of lights mysteriously turning on or off, as you can read about in the series of 35+ posts here. 

Below we see what the hat/helmet looked like when it was on the hook rack that held it. 

And below we see what the hook rack looked like after the black hat/helmet had fallen to the ground. 

You can see from this side view how far out these hooks protrude, making a "just naturally fell off the hook" explanation seemingly untenable. No breeze would have ever caused a heavy plastic hat/helmet to fall off hooks protruding out this far. 

I cannot imagine any natural explanation of what would have caused such a fall. No one was in the room that had the hook rack shown above. The room's door was closed, and its windows also closed. 

All I can do is chuckle, and say, "It's a Twilight Zone kind of evening."

I can think of one optimistic interpretation here. The mysteriously fallen hat/helmet symbolized protection. It's a hat/helmet like baseball first-base coaches wear to protect themselves from foul balls. I bought the hat a few months ago to protect my head from injury if I ever slip and fall to the ground while walking outside, as people my age sometimes do. So maybe an inexplicable mysterious event involving a symbol of protection is a supernatural sign that I have some degree of protection from a mysterious power, conceivably  some power rather like a guardian angel.

A Skeptic Would Say, "It Must Have Just Fallen Out of Your Deep Pocket"

 A few minutes ago I had a fond thought of my late father. A few seconds later I went into the bathroom. Standing, I was surprised to hear the sound of a pen falling to my left, landing on the ground.

How to explain this strange event? I had used the pen earlier to mark on a calendar that I had taken a pill. After I do that, I normally put the pen back in my pen holder cup on the living room table. Conceivably I could have failed to follow my normal habit, and left the pen in my pocket. And conceivably the pen could have fallen out of my deep jeans pocket that is about six inches deep, the same size as the six-inch pen.

But what is the chance of both of those things happening? I'm reminded of when I was questioned as a young boy for walking in the halls during classes without a hall pass you were supposed to get before doing such walking. I claimed that I had got such a pass, but that it "must have fallen out of my pocket."  Some school authority made a skeptical face, saying something like, "Come on -- things don't just fall out of your pocket." 

An alternate explanation here is a Potential Spiritual Manifestation involving some power with the ability to make mysterious movements of matter, with the event being related to the thought of my late father.

None of Us Seeded or Planted These Purple Flowers

 My late mother's favorite color was purple, and she was very fond of wearing purple clothes. The last conversation I had with the first born of my sisters (occurring quite a few years ago, shortly before she died) was one involving the paranormal and a purple flower. I asked my sister whether she had ever experienced something paranormal or something she could not explain. She told me she had some experience involving a purple flower she could not explain. It seems that after my mother's death there were some purple flowers that had appeared  unexpectedly in my sister's garden, and a purple flower that had survived way longer than expected. I cannot recall precisely all the details, but I remember my sister saying that a purple flower from her garden had survived for years in her refrigerator. My sister seemed to think that such things may have been some supernatural or paranormal sign related to my mother.

On June 1, 2022 I had the 67th dream I have had of my mother since mid-November 2020, when I started recording my dreams.  (By now I have had 167 dreams of her.) The dream was a realistic one. In the dream I was in a store, talking to some woman named Yolande. In the dream, after pointing to some Christmas decorations, I accurately described my mother's Christmas decoration habits, which were to fill the house with Christmas decorations during the time from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.  How very strange that the name "Yolande" should appear in my dream. Prior to the dream, I had (as best I can recall) never spoken that name, and could not identify anyone (fictional or real) who had that name. Not knowing what the name meant, I looked up the meaning of the name Yolande, and found that it is a name meaning "violet flower."  

I thought it strange that again we should have an association between my mother and purple flowers. On July 11, 2022 I had another dream about my mother. I dreamed that I found unlocked both the front door and front gate of the house where I now live. In the dream I looked around and found my mother kneeling in the back yard, as if she was gardening. Remembering the previous association with purple flowers and my mother, I made in my mind around that time a prediction. I predicted that purple flowers would mysteriously appear in my back yard, even though no one had planted any flowers in the back yard. 

Purple flowers did mysteriously start growing in my back yard, which is all concrete, except for two planters on one side. In 2022 the flowers started to appear on the left edge of the back yard. You can see photos of the flowers in my post here from 2022 and my post here from 2025. It was an astonishing affair of purple flowers kind of "rising up through the little concrete crack." 

This year I see no such purple flowers on the left edge of my concrete back yard. But the two planters on the right side of the yard are now entirely filled with little purple flowers -- purple flowers that arose mysteriously, and were not  planted or seeded by any of the house's residents.  We see some of the flowers below.  The planters have a total area of about 12 square feet. 

I can imagine how unplanted purple flowers might naturally arise in the soil of someone's backyard. Maybe somehow purple flower seeds might get blown by the wind, across the yard, from somewhere else. But in this case we have two planter surfaces that are about a meter above the ground. It would seem very, very difficult for purple flower seeds to rise up so high and land in both of two separated planters. 

Below from my previous posts are some of the purple flowers that I got in previous years in my back yard. None of them were planted or seeded by any of the house's residents. In the first photo we see an amaranth plant. Since ancient times the amaranth plant has been a symbol of immortality. This symbolism arose because the plant was famous for maintaining a vibrant color for very long after it had been cut from the ground. 

Mysterious Yellow Indoor Orbs: A Retrospective (Part 3)

 I have done two previous retrospective posts on mysterious yellow sky orbs, which you can see below (the photos were all taken at night, after the sun had set):
