Eerie Transformations of the Water Drop Anomalies

Photo date: May 28,  2019. Photo date: Mark Mahin.

When I started today photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water at 12:37 PM, at first I got nothing other than featureless orbs, as shown below:


But very soon I started to get features in these orbs.  By 12:37 I had got orbs with oval-shaped dark marks or holes, as shown below.  (In the next four photos, all of the orb holes were on the right of the orb.)


By 12:39 the holes had started to have a more round shape, although they were still slightly oval. Looking at the photo below from 12:39, you can see right through the holes.

weird water

Such an anomaly continued for many photos. For example,  the photo below is from 12:41 PM.

eerie water

The same anomaly continued for dozens of additional photos, for example in the photo below:

orb holes

But by 12:56, there was a transformation, and the holes were now rather diamond-shaped, as shown below:


I get many diamond-shaped holes in the photos, but by 12:59 there was another transformation, and now the photos started showing two holes in each of the orbs.  Here is one example:

orbs with two holes

I then got quite a few photos in which each orb had two holes as in the example above. Then later I started to get the letter "L" mysteriously appear in some of the orbs, as shown here:

This is the 9th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a "backslash" stripe just like this one, stretching from the top left of the orb to the bottom right 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.

More Testimony of a "Spirit Ball"

The account I quoted in my previous post was the very interesting story of a woman who reported an orb entering into her chest, an orb the woman felt strongly was her grandmother, who died on the same day (as the woman was told a few hours later).  A quite similar story is told in this account of a woman's experience the month after her mother died:

"One night in October, I had just gotten in bed when I saw a ball of softly glowing mist slowly descend upon my bed from the corner of the ceiling.  I was speechless as I saw it slowing coming towards me.  Somehow I knew it was my mother, even though I couldn't discern a body or a shape.  The mist enveloped me as I lay in bed and filled me with feelings of love and calm.  I had the presence of mind not to move or open my eyes, because somehow I knew that it would spoil the moment.  I just forced myself to remain calm and focus on every moment so that I could remember the experience. 

My mother communicated telepathically with me by repeating my name over and over, saying, 'Eve, Eve, Eve, I love you so much.  I love you so much.  Don't worry about me.  Where I am, there's complete freedom, freedom, freedom!  Tell your brothers and sisters I love them and I will always be with you all.'  The mist slowly gathered itself in a ball, once again, and slowly ascended to the ceiling, then it was gone.  I immediately opened my eyes and had this incredulous feeling when I realized that I had just been visited by my mother!"

We have four similarities between this account and the account quoted in my previous post:

(1) In both accounts an orb or ball is seen by a woman, with the orb or ball coming from the ceiling.
(2) In both accounts the orb or ball touches a woman's body, either enveloping it or seeming to enter into it.
(3) In both accounts there there then follows what seems like a telepathic communication between the woman and her mother or grandmother, with a message of love.
(4) In both accounts the orb or ball is seen to exit from the ceiling.

The report of the orb appearing from the "corner of the ceiling" is interesting to me, as the first orb photo I ever took (years ago) showed an orb in the corner of the ceiling.

Speaking of spooky round shapes appearing at the corners of ceilings, here is another account of such a thing, made by a woman describing her father's death, and comparing what she saw to a corporate logo that is kind of a blurry ring shape:

"I had turned to my right and as I turned back around my eyes glanced up toward the corner of the ceiling on my  right and I saw a circle of mist hovering in the corner.  The only way I can describe the circle is that it looks exactly like the Lucent Technologies circle on their sign, like a wide circle with kind of a tail escaping the circle  but it wasn't red it was a hazy mist/fog.  I have reviewed this in my mind a thousand times since his death and I think my dad's spirit had already left his body."

Slightly similar, but not involving an orb, is the testimony of this witness who reports seeing a "mist in the corner of the room" which she identified as her father. She got a phone call later that day telling her that her father had died of a heart attack.

She Says an Orb Flew Into Her Chest When Her Grandma Died

I've been reading some remarkable accounts at the sites https://www.oberf.org and https://www.adcrf.org.  For example, in this account a man reports having a cardiac arrest that put him in a coma for several days. He says,  "The bass player and the singer both agreed, though, that at the time of my collapse, they saw my spirit rise up out of my body." Similarly, this account states, "I was shocked to see a mist leave from his head, which instantly turned into an exact duplicate of his body," and in  this account a man says his wife "witnessed a mist-like substance leaving the head of a patient who died." Similarly, in this account someone states, "Momma said she actually saw a thin white mist rise above the bed" when someone died in her arms.

In this remarkable account, reported only this month, a woman reports seeing and feeling an orb at the time of her grandmother's death:

"I was on a camping trip, down by the Columbia River. I was asleep, and was awoken, around 5 in the morning. I was on my back, looking straight up at the ceiling and noticed I couldn't move. But, I wasn't scared at all. Suddenly,  a bright orb of light came down, through the ceiling and flew into my chest. My vision was filled with the brightest, whitest light I have ever seen, but it didn't bother me. As soon as the orb entered my chest, I knew it was my grandmother Cecilia, she was speaking to me, inside my mind. She came to tell me goodbye, and to tell me everything was going to be all right, and she loved me. Then she shot back out of my chest, and back up through the ceiling, and I could move again. I woke my boyfriend up, and told him, my Grandma just died. And he laughed and said, no, go back to sleep it was just a dream. Later that morning about, around 8 in the morning, my brother in law, came and found where we were camping, and told me my grandma had died early that morning, and I said yeah I already knew."

This is the latest example of someone "ghost-told" of a death. I have collected 100 such cases from the literature of paranormal phenomena.  In a very large fraction of these cases, someone sees an apparition on the same day of someone's death, and becomes convinced that such a person has died, and soon finds out later that the person did die on that day, often far away.  You can read about 100 such cases below:

Symbolism in the Sign?

Over the past few years I have seen well over 60 cases of electrical or electronic devices mysteriously changing their state. This has included 18 cases of the flashlight at the back of my Samsung tablet turning on mysteriously when the tablet was turned off, 15 cases of an electric toothbrush turning on by itself,  10 cases of a sound machine turning off by itself or changing its channel,  9 cases of a Samsung tablet turning off by itself,  three cases of lamps turning on by themselves, more than 10 cases of a TV mysteriously changing its state (such as switching to a new channel when I hadn't touched the remote), and two cases of a dryer switching its setting mysteriously.  You can read about such cases here.

Yesterday evening there was yet another case of an electric or electronic device mysteriously changing its state. I noticed that the cover of a carbon monoxide detector in my apartment was open, with the battery halfway pulled out.  I had replaced the battery with a new battery about 10 days ago, testing the battery successfully after snugly snapping the battery into the battery slot, and snapping shut the detector cover.   The battery test (done by pressing a button on the front of the detector) will only work if the battery is snug inside the slot, and the detector cover is shut tight. The carbon monoxide detector is at eye-level, and I had passed right by it at least 8 times previously in the day without noticing anything unusual such as the cover being open. The carbon monoxide detector is right in front of anyone leaving the bathroom, about an arm's length away.



How could the detector lid have opened, and the battery halfway pulled out? The only one else in the apartment on this day except myself was my wife. I've been married to her for 26 years, and never once saw her touch a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector.  Once you snap the battery in and close the cover, deliberate manual effort must be made to either pry open the detector cover or remove the battery from its snug position inside the battery slot.

I can't help relating this mysterious incident to a previous incident in March, described here, in which a locked door mysteriously opened. In both this case and the case yesterday we have a kind of "closed thing opening" motif.  Could these two spooky incidents be a sign that some door previously closed to me will soon open -- perhaps the door to the Great Beyond ? Could the battery half-way out of its confinement place be a metaphor for the soul leaving its confinement place of the body?  Only time will tell whether this mysterious event turns out to be an omen or harbinger.

Postscript: Within a few days after this event, this carbon monoxide alarm started giving a 5-beep alarm once or twice a day. I was puzzled because the battery was new. I did a Google search for "lifetime of carbon monoxide detectors," and found that they lose their effectiveness after 5 to 7 years. The carbon monoxide detector shown above was about that old. So I replaced the whole alarm.
