I was out this evening taking photos of my garden which I have never done before at night. I found these orbs in the garden. The smaller orb looks like it is resting on a small bench I have next to the clump of birches on the right. The angel on the left side is a statue.

Garden pictures in the evening can sure be beautiful.

For probably ten years I have been working as a member of various groups to try to find identities for the thousands of unidentified persons who have been found dead throughout the country. Through this I was asked to meet a reporter at what was called “Potters Field” to get pictures taken for an article. I have never been there nor had the reporter but the local historian told her that this is where they buried the Unidentified and the poor in the county and she wanted to get a picture of me with a stone that says JANE DOE.

When we arrived we found an open empty plot. It was saddening. As I walked around looking for some signs of markers an overwhelming feeling came over me. It was like I was feeling all the emotions that a person who was buried without someone caring about them would have. I felt strongly that I had to do something to get these souls some recognition and bring some sense of someone cares about these people to the cemetery.

A Fox walked out of the trees and just kind of sniffed the ground and stood in a spot. I knew I was way too far away to get a good picture but I aimed my camera and shot towards it anyway. While we were back to the cars getting ready to leave a huge turkey buzzard came out of no where and circled the cemetery and over our heads and off it went.

When I got the pictures off the camera I blew up the one with the Fox to see how clear I could actually get it and what I saw in the background was startling. I turned around and went back because I felt I had to go back by myself and just sit and feel. I took a few more pictures. I was drawn to a tree on the far side and photographed that as well. The images I saw in the trees and bushes were not my imagination. Everyone I showed the pictures to saw the same things.

Orbs at a Dog Memorial

There was a puppy mill owner who shot 80 of his dogs rather than get the vet care that warden ordered. People held a candlelight vigil down the road from where they were shot and buried in a common grave. In the beginning they handed out 80 flowers and 80 dog biscuits to various people and at the end of the ceremony the flowers were collected and taken up to place by the lane and the biscuits were left on the roadway. Sometime shortly after they said prayers for the dogs and wished they not linger in that awful place I took pictures. I have orbs everywhere. Other pictures I took did not have orbs so its not from the camera lens. And other people I spoke with that took pictures did not get the orbs. They looked more brilliant on my camera but if you use the zoom and move it around you will see them. I will send you more wihout the orbs if you wish to compare them. The one only has one but the others have them scattered.

Comment by Atala: Thanks, Anne. I took the liberty of using Photoshop to lighten up your photos. I’ve found if you use the curves tool, and lighten, it brings up the orbs remarkably; they often are lost otherwise.

Note the brightest orb is over the man holding his dog, and a lighter orb over the dog's head.

Hawaii Orbs

I wonder if there is a special significance when an orb is seen directly in the center on the top of ones' head. This photo was taken at a Hawaiian show in Maui. I'd love to know if there is.

These stoic New Englanders are placed by the side of a path through our family forest in New Hampshire. I love how firm yet gentle they are.
