Are "orbs" in photographs spirits?

    I once took a photo and there was a giant thumb in it. It must have been an angel

    I'm at a complete loss as to why anyone would choose to believe that such mundane, easily explainable phenomena as spherical aberrations are anything other than what they obviously are. Clearly, nobody with any interest in truth can really believe that these orbs are supernatural, so they must be pretending - or at least deliberately ignoring pertinent information so they can cling to their preferred belief. But why? What possible comfort can be gained from believing in the existence of supernatural "orbs" that are invisible to our highly sensitive eyes, but appear commonly on photographs taken with cheap digital cameras? Is it just that for some people, any "proof" of the supernatural, however flimsy, strengthens their faith in an afterlife? Again, I'm not sure why it would. Perhaps some "believers" would care to explain why they so desperately cling to such an untenable belief.

    I have seen them in many photos I have taken too. Are they orbs? Not sure. It is strange that the older lady has the same thing next to her more than once though.

    What if you have an expensive didgital camera, and see it quite often? I do.

    These are rather obvious lens flare effects. The source is your flash reflecting off of the older woman's glasses. I had a cheap Olympus digital camera that did the same thing all the time. Sorry to disappoint!
