Let me just say sorry for being gone so long, I had to move and believe it or not my parents (married in 1978) are now going through a divorce. Now I gotta deal with which parent wants to suck up to me more, geeesh. Anyways, I went to a few cemetaries around my home town, and my sis's home town. Ok I live at Indian Lake, Ohio, and my sis lives in Waynesfield, Ohio, so we grabbed our cams and hit the road, lol. The first cemetary we checked out is called Walnut Hill. We decided to go there cause our Uncle is burried there - he died due to a car accident back in 1980. So he's been there 25 yrs now. We didn't think we would get anything around his tomb, but we took more than just that pic. We took some shots and I think I caught an orb. It appears to be hiding behind the left tombstone behind the flower pot thing (vase) on the right of it.
Ok the first link is the original, and the second one is where I lightened it up. Just so if you can/want to you can take the original and do what you want to try to enhance it. (I did this with every pic, made link to orginal and a lightened version.)

I tried to blow it up so that you could get a better look at the orb, but the pixels had gotten to big and outta focus. So good luck if you wanna try to blow it up! FYI: the shiny thing in the background is a license plate someone put next to a headstone.
The next pics we took were taken at Willow Branch Cemetary. It is outside of where my sis lives. I knew I got something on my cam when I seen it downloading, but of course I didn't get too excited till I got it downloaded and brightened it up, so here ya go. Take a look!

I am pretty sure it is an actual orb, cause it does have substance and a ring around the outside, now I know there are skeptics, but I was leaving and I felt compelled to take a pic of this perticular spot, like someone was saying Hey I am here Look! So of course I snapped! Lemme know what ya think???
Ok, this last set of links is from Salem Cemetary off of 117 outside of West Minster. I thought I had nuttin, but I was wrong - I think.

I was standing by the car, about to get in and of course I felt compelled to take a pic.

Please check these out and tell me what you think!
As always I appreciate all of the feedback - good or bad - I get from all of you. FYI: all of the pics I posted are taken by a Kodak Easy Share CX4300. My sis had a 35mm, but had 100 speed film in it, so we are unsure if we'll get anything at all on her's. We just wanted to see what we would get.

its most likely moisture in the air or a bug true PN orbs emit their own light which these dont.

Wow, it sounds like you had a lot of fun. I never can tell about orbs, but I love fiddling around with the pics to see them better. My software doesn't do the best of jobs but I think you can see them a little clearer now.

I really like your first one:

I does seem to be hiding behind the vase. The only thing I can think of is if something was actually there and we just can't see all of it. If that's not the case then I think it's a pretty neat pic.

Here's the second one:

This one I'm thinking might be a little too perfect. I think that it might be the edge of the stone. It's hard to tell because it's so dark, but we have an old cemetery here that has those circular stones that the actual tombstone sits on top of. That's what it looks like to me. If that's not the case then I think it's really great orb.

I think this one it the most orb-ish of the bunch:

It's doesn't look like an insect or anything else to me. I could see it as maybe being moisture but there's only one and it's fairly high off the ground. It doesn't look to be in the direct path of anything reflective or a light sources. I think this is the most typical orb of the bunch.

These a really cool pictures, I'm looking forward to seeing what the others have to say. =)

Ok Renee,
My sis went and looked at the 2 cemetaries and found out that the "orb" that appears to be peaking, welllll it is a garden Rock with a lovely saying on it. Sorry, it was dark, and now that the light has been shed on the subject we know better than just to click and run. Rather than looking at was was there, but hey it was dark. Ok, the second one is a stone, sorry for the confushion and you were right. We took the pics Friday night and then my sis went today (while it wasn't raining) and checked out the stones. Now, they were at 3 different cemetaries so she had to go to go to them and figure it out. Now the third one with the one that seems to be floating , there's no explaination? We got her pics back today and found some very odd things in them. So when she is done scanning them I will add them here as well for others to check out!
Thanks Damien for the feedback as well. I don't think the one is a bug, since it has stayed close to 40 degrees around here, moisture ??? We'll just have to go with what we feel and believe.
Thanks angain for checking them out guys!!!

I definately want to see you sister's pics! It's too bad about the fist one, I thought it was kinda cool to have an orb peeking around the corner, but that's the way it goes. Don't feel bad, I took a pics at a cemetery once and one came back with a face of a man- with a beard and a turban. I was pretty excited about it until I went back to look at the headstone again and it was rust marks on the stone. If you backed up and squinted just right you could see the face. Bummer! That last one is a really nice orb though, and it's a heck of a lot more than I usually get.

My sis is gonna scan them tomorrow. She works odd hours and she was unable to do them today. We did notice some oddities in the pics when we got them back. We did get duplicates and good thing we did. My Sis took a pic of me before she got back into the car. In one of the duplicate pics there seems to be an echto plasm type string thingy, (can't really explain what it is?) and in the other duplicate it isn't there? We asked the developer if had any explainations for this, he had none. I can't wait to find out what it is.
She also got some "orbs" that I didn't get. Plus, we were goofing off before we left her house and took some pics of my son and grandma (mom). We got some weird misty glowing type thing. Man, I can't wait till she scans those pics!!! Also, we are talking with the President of the Cemetaries for the county. (The main man) to see if we may be able to look at more cemetaries in the county without having being in trouble by the law. Since the all time rule of "Closed Dusk until Dawn", lol! Anyways more to come soon...........

Ok, my sis got her pics back and this is what we got outta those.
The first one is very odd and we can't explain, hopefully someone has some ideas.

I was just standing there and she thought it would be cool to take that pic I guess.
This pic was takin at the same cemetary. It was not foggy out and we didn't get any other mist besides this one.

The first one is the original and other 2 are enhanced.
This 3rd one is of a very old stone of our family's plot, it right beside the road and the road commision even wanted to take it down to widen the road, as long as a living relative still lives they can't take it down, there are 5 graves and only one visible stone left. Here are the pics, my sis circled the possibe orbs.

Both of these were tkaen back to back if this helps.
Thanx as always for checking them out!

Hi Brauvura:

I took a look at your pics, I haven't had a chance to look closer at your sis's pics. I cropped out the "orbs" and here they are. The first one here, could be a lens flare, it is large and resembles pics I've seen of lens flare... Looks too big to be a bug. And it's not illuminating on its own.



This one I think could more than likely be a "spirit" orb, though some may disagree. The reason I say it is, it appears to have some illumination of it's own, and the way it "peeking" behind the vase. Being in a cemetery too, lends credit to it in my view. It is not unlike many other "spirit" orb pics I've seen in cemeteries.



This last one, I'm not sure about. It seems to have some iridescence to me, with the colors when I increased contrast. It could be a bug or moisture.



I do tend to lean towards the one behind the vase as a possible spirit orb. Great pics, thank you for sharing these. =)

Hugs,
Pate

The pic of you, this is the one where the duplicate was normal, right? I'm going to have to go with processing error. In fact, in all the pictures I can see scratch marks in the upper left hand corner, that is from the machine that produced the actual prints. Was the person you asked about it the actual developer-usually film is sent out to be developed, there are places that offer in store developing but it can be fairly expensive- or was the person just an employee at the counter? To find someone with knowledge you might have to call the company that actually developed and printed the film.

The second pic, the mist, I think is probably your best bet at being paranormal, but the mist is so difused that I can't rule out processing error.

The last batch, the orbs, I don't know. It could be genuine orbs but the fact that they were taken through from inside the car makes almost impossible to rule out reflection from the windshield to the side. I do see a bit of mist in the second one.

With these pics I think you should have a good look at the negatives. If these were my pics I would take them back to the store and show them the sratch marks and the duplicate that was different and request that they reprint the roll free of charge. Since there is obvious evidence of error I'm sure that the company will do it for you.

One thing that you have to look out for now when taking pics with actual film is that the printing is computerized now, the computer will correct color and light imbalance- which is really helpfull when you taking pics of the family picnic but fairly annoying when your nice, glowing orb all but dissappears because the computer tried to correct the 'flaw'. I firmly believe that film pick's up ghosties better that digital but both way's have their plus's and minus's. So you might want to see if there is an option without 'automatic correction'. Though you should take into account the conditions the pictures were taken in and the film itself or you could end up with prints of nothing. Don't be afraid to call the company and tell them what your trying to do, that's what they are there for, I'm sure they've heard it all and they might have some good advice for you.

Ok, She told me she took them to the 1 hour hour photo place and she took the pictures back to the developer or what not and they might be able to send them out for free. To have them developed the good way rather than the 1 hour process machine. Let's see how that goes, lol! thanx Renee!

I hope they do re-print them for her, so you can determine what error's happened during the actual printing and what is actually on the negatives. Anything that's on the negative's will remain there, that can't be undone, but it's more likely that any errors are the result of printing and not the negative developement. I don't know if reprints will help clarify the ghosties or not but your sister probably paid extra to have them developed at the 1 hr. printing place and she deserves error free prints. A machine that leave's marks like that on it's prints is being poorly maintained and they should be will the rectify the problem.

wow... Those orb things.. I took a couple of pics last week of a palm tree at night and there was and orb in the tree... I wonder if it was watching traffic and also one over the pool.. Biloxi is old and use to be home to the Biloxi Indians... There could be spirits everywhere in this town... wow I wish I still had them...Ill check and see
