Purple Haze Appears in Metaphysical Shop Picture

There's a metaphysical shop in Hollywood, CA called Panpipes Magickal Marketplace whose claim to fame is being the oldest occult shop in the nation and being the location site of many movies and TV shows (like the second Pirates of the Carribean movie, for instance). Although this may not be an orb in the strictest sense of the word, it's fascinating nonetheless and seems to indicate some sort of energetic presence. Since it appears around the image of some sort of deity, I wonder if there's some kind of hidden message here?

By the way, did you know that orbs:

* have been clicked at speeds of up to 500 miles per hour!
*can be photographed not only with digital cameras and video            equipment but with a Smartphone as well.
*have been seen to appear and disappear in torsion fields
*have appeared in Class 7 clean room conditions

Is That Charlie Chaplin's Face in That Orb?

There's an old saying that all the old major movie studios are haunted by movie and TV stars that have passed on. They miss their Hollywood days and come back from time to time to revisit their old "haunts" (sorry, couldn't help myself).

On a recent trip to Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, CA where I used to work I was taking pictures in the backlot where the old "Tarzan" series was once filmed and lo and behold look what shows up in one of the pictures! Is it just me or does it look like there is an image of Charlie Chaplin in that big orange orb? (Make sure you enlarge the photo to see the face).

Wouldn't it be fun to do a ghost hunt on a movie studio lot? Yeah, try getting permission for that one, huh?

Calling in the Spirits

During a rather uneventful paranormal investigation at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Austin, TX one night my teammates and I were trying to come up with a way to get some activity going. After a couple of minutes of deliberation I suggested that one of the team members sit amongst the tombstones and then we would ask if there were any spirits in the area to please show themselves by appearing as orbs around the person while the rest of us took photographs. This is what happened...

The reason John has his hands up in the air is because he said he felt as though there was something around him. Looks like he wasn't wrong about that.

Even Dannion Brinkley Has Orb Experiences

Author and speaker Dannion Brinkley who has had two near death experiences that he describes in his book "Saved By the Light" is seen in this photo during a lecture with a large orb in attendance. In his book he talks about beings who showed him visions of the future and discussed his life mission with him. Perhaps this orb is one of those beings?

Orb Shows Up Above A Strange Image on a Tree

I just wanted to share this unusual photo with you that I took on the evening of July 19, 2012 in a park across the street from an old mission that dates back to the 1700s. Do you see the image on the tree that's on the left? I'm not sure what exactly the "being" is on the tree. I'm guessing it's faded graffitti or a natural aging pattern on the tree. It's barely visible when you're actually looking at the tree. In fact, I didn't even notice it until the image showed up in the picture and I walked over and inspected the tree more closely and then I saw it faintly outlined on the tree trunk. It shows up much more vividly here in the second picture than it actually is. What I thought was really interesting is that one orb showed up in this picture...directly above that image. Coincidence or was someone trying to point it out?

James Van Praagh and Orbs

On Saturday, January 7, 2012 I attended medium James Van Praagh's booksigning event at the Mystic Journey bookstore in Venice, CA. James gave a talk but for the exception of one mini reading for someone he didn't do any readings. However, at one point he turned his back to the audience and facing the wall he jokingly commented that spirits were distracting him. I had taken seven pictures of James throughout the time of the talk and was pleasantly surprised to see that orbs showed up in three of the pictures. As you can see below, most of those orbs showed up behind James just where he had felt them! You'll have to enlarge the photos to see the orbs, especially for the first one where the orb appears in the upper left hand corner of the bookcase. It's pretty hard to see but trust me it's there. In the second picture there's an orb at James' lower back and at the top of the painting. The third one is the most impressive one though, don't you think?
