Orb Plays "Peek-a-boo" Behind Distant Object

Photo date: May 21, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo taken in Grand Central Station, we see a blue orb like the blue orbs that are shown so often on this site. But you can only see the left part of it. Most of the orb is behind a distant curtain-like obstruction that was more than 50 meters from me when I photographed this.

Below is a closeup showing the orb.

See my posts labeled "air orb too distant to be dust" for 20+ photos that also show orbs behind distant obstructions. Such photos debunk the theory that orbs are just tiny specks of dust a few inches from the camera.

You can also use the link here to see a similar photo on the "Orbs & More" site -- a photo showing a large red orb that is clearly behind a plant that was meters away from the camera.

A Vivid Green Orb

Photo date: May 28, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York. We see a mysterious orb that is a strong green color. I photograph countless blue and white orbs in this place, but it is a very rare to see a green one.

Below is a closeup (I used the IrvanView "Auto-adjust colors" menu option on this closeup). We see an orb with the outer ring so often seen in orbs.

Unidentified Floating Objects

Photo date: May 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a building in Manhattan. We see above it some floating objects in a variety of colors.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or other precipitation on this night.

Luminous Lineup

Photo date: April 14, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing water drops falling against a dark background. But nothing we see looks like a water drop. We see a set of what I call orb veils, mysterious objects which had an apparent width of about 3 inches.  These veils are aligned in a congruent way, like some column of ghostly soldiers. See my posts labeled "orb veils" for 21 similar photos, or see this site for similar photos by another photographer. 

Orb Pair Surrounded by Swirlers

Photo date: October 28, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Here we see another example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs seems to circle the outer perimeter of a water drop at high speeds. You can't see the "faces" of the speeding orbs in this photo, although ;you can seem to see them in many other photos on this site that are labeled "orb centrifuge effect."

Patriotic and Very Bright

Photo date: May 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows one of the brightest orbs I have ever photographed in Grand Central Station. When you photograph dust particles or water vapor particles in front of the camera, they never look anywhere near as bright as this.

A closeup of the orb shows an outer ring and the "split aura" that I often see in orbs. One half of this aura is purple-colored, and the other half is golden-colored.

Ask and You Shall Receive

Photo date: May 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Before this photo was taken in Grand Central Station in New York, I was getting a series of small orbs in my photos. I thought to myself: "Come on, I need a bigger one." Then in the next photo, there was a much bigger orb.  I'll never know whether this was just coincidence.

Manhattanhenge

This is a rare "off-topic" post, as this photo is not paranormal-looking. Twice a year the sunset aligns with the streets of Manhattan, in what is called Manhattanhenge. Below is a photo of how it looks.

Colorful Enigmas

Photo date: February 8, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo was taken of pure, clean water dripping against a dark background.  Besides the orbs that resemble faces, a hard-to-explain aspect of this photo is simply the fact that one of the orbs is orange and another yellow.

A Ghostly Figure Shown in 5 Photos

Photo date: May 28, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below is a photo of a strange figure seen in a window.

This photo was cropped from the top right corner of the photo below, showing a building on Fifth Avenue in New York, taken at 4:05 PM.

Below is a photo taken after the first photo, also at 4:05 PM.

Could it be this was just some decoration put up by some prankster? No, because the "facial expression" of the ghostly figure clearly changes between the different photos. Note how "wide-eyed" the ghostly figure looks in the fourth photo.

Here is how the same building looked at 4:19 PM, 14 minutes later.

When we look at the same window that showed the ghostly figure shown above, we now see the ghostly figure is gone (or at least what we see looks nothing like the figure shown above).

These photos, like all photos on this blog, are entirely authentic.

One Orb Moves Fast, Another Even Faster

Photo date: May 24, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken at Grand Central Station in New York.

This photo shows two speeding orbs. Below is a closeup of the top orb.

Below is a closeup of the bottom orb.We see here the "string of pearls" effect, in which we seem to see multiple position states of a fast-moving orb, captured in a single photo.

See my posts labeled "speeding air orb" for 109 other photos of speeding orbs. Or watch this video to see 88 photos of speeding orbs.

Orb Couple?

Photo date: May 28, 2015.   Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below (taken in Grand Central Station in New York) we see a pink orb above a blue orb. Could this be a boy orb and a girl orb?

Wispy Wonders

Photo date: May 20, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below is a side-by-side composite photo showing two different photos of what I call orb veils. The two were photographed at separate times on the same day, while I was photographing water drips. Notice how both of these objects at the bottom of the photo have nearly identical shapes, almost exactly the same pointy shape. At the bottom right we see some equally mysterious things I call orb crescents. See my posts labeled "orb veil" and "orb crescent" for many other examples of these strange things.

A Cheerful Floating Face

Photo date: May 21, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken at Grand Central Station in New York.

Below is a closeup of the orb shown in the top left of the photo (I used the IrfanView "Auto-adjust colors" menu option on this closeup).

We seem to see a mysterious orb with a nice smile.  To see many other examples of orbs with faces, see my 105 posts labeled "air orb with face," or check out the Orbs & More site at this link.

Orb Penetrates the Warning Sign

Photo date: May 24, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York. We see to the right a blue orb like the many blue orbs I have photographed there (see the next post for another example).

Below is a closeup of the blue orb.  This orb seems to be kind of hiding underneath the words in the sign.

Another photo taken the same night shows no such orb inside the sign.

The Moon and Something Else

Photo date: May 25, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the top of this photo we see the moon. In the bottom we see an unexplained speeding orb.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or precipitation on this night.

Speeders and Smilers in a Water Drop

Photo date:  May 26, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below we see a drop of pure, clean water that seems to have within it several smiling orbs as well as two orbs that are speeding around rapidly.

An Orb Mans the Information Desk

Photo date: May 24, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York. We see a large orb at the top right corner. But there is also another orb to be found -- at the corner information desk.

Here is a closeup of the corner window.  We see what looks like an orb behind a window, with the top half of the orb seemingly cut off by the lower part of the window.

3 Purple Orbs Above the Chrysler Building

Photo date: May 24, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below we see three mysterious purple orbs that have lined up above the Chrysler Building in New York.

Jolly-Looking Orbs in a Water Drip

Photo date: May 26, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this unaltered photo of a drip of pure, clean water, we see some orbs that seem to be in a very good mood. The orange one reminds me of a "Jack-o-lantern" pumpkin.

A Blue Orb With "Good Teeth"

Photo date: November 8, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin,

So many of the water drop orbs I photograph seem to have gaps in their teeth, or funny looking teeth. But not this blue guy. This guy is ready for his close up.

 

Mysterious Thing Near Empire State Building

Photo date: May 24, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows some strange object above the Empire State Building in New York.

Below is a closeup of the object. If the "wings" of this object were shorter, we can suppose it's an insect or bird. But I know of no insect or bird with wings this long in relation to the thorax (with the possible exception of the dragonfly, which I can never recall seeing in New York City). For now I will vaguely label this using the label "miscellaneous luminous anomalies."

Midtown Orb Swarm

Photo date: May 24, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

On this night I walked around New York City, and photographed some orbs in the sky that appeared in only modest numbers for the first half an hour. But then suddenly at 9:29 PM it seemed like there was a great swarm of orbs in the sky.

Below is another photo taken during the same minute, at 9:29 PM.

Could this have been caused by some tiny particles floating near my camera (such as dust)? During the same minute (at 9:29 PM), I photographed a piece of cardboard at arm's length. Not a single orb appeared in front of the cardboard.

So far I have done this cardboard test more than 80 times, including several times in Grand Central Station, where I so often photograph orbs. The photos have showed not one single orb in front of the cardboard. This is strong evidence against the theory that orbs such as I photograph are caused by little specks of dust in front of the camera.

There was no fog, mist, rain, or other precipitation on this night.

Another Swift Orb

Photo date: March 12, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York. We see at the top yet another example of a moving orb.

Below is a closeup of the top of the photo.

See my posts labeled "speeding air orb" for many other examples, many of which are more dramatic than this one.

Orbs With a Wide-Eyed Look

Photo date: May 17, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below of some pure, clean water dripping against a dark background, we see some orbs, some of which seem to have a kind of wide-eyed look.

A Congruent Stack of Orb Veils

Photo date: May 17, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Using the search phrase "spirit orb" I found several Facebook pages and communities dealing with orbs. One of the better sites I found was the site with this interesting photo stream (which I am adding to my list of links showing paranormal photos by others).  Looking at the photos in that photo stream, I was fascinated to find some of the same things I have shown on this blog.

For example, here is one of my photos of what I call orb veils and orb crescents. The orb crescents are shown at the top; the orb veils are in the middle.

Now what is fascinating is that when I look at the photo stream referred to above, I find some photos taken in 2014 very similar to my photos like the one above.

Here is one such photo (I will not show it directly because my policy on this site is to only show photos I took myself).  In that photo there are extremely unusual characteristics very similar to what we see in my photo above: the "stack" of orb veils, each with multiple spike-like edges, and also the appearance of the inexplicable crescent shapes. 

Check out the link at the top of this page for some spectacular photos of these "orb veils."  I congratulate whoever took the photo linked to above, who has "scooped" me on this topic, capturing this phenomenon before I did.
