As the boy sat up in his bed crying and rubbing his eyes, the camera had picked up several orbs going towards the stairway. As the cameras went back to watching the boy, they had focused in on orbs appearing near his door. The orbs appeared to hover over to the bed and over top of the boy. As this happened the boy calmly went back to sleep. Researchers were viewing the footage as it was happening from other rooms in the house. They say that instead of frightening the boy, they calmed him down and comforted him (Krivyanski 5).
Now that you think there are ghosts and spirits, I"m guessing you are wondering why they would haunt you. Researchers think that ghosts are stuck in the third or forth dimension and only appear in ectoplasmic form ("Ghosts" 1). Although when ghosts make their presence on earth, they usually have a message they want to tell a friend or family member, however, when on earth you can sense them in four ways: sight, smell, touch, or hearing them ("Ghosts" 3 & 4). When seen by humans, ghosts may appear to look like the following: orb, spiral rings, ribbons or rods, hazes, or balls of light ("Ghosts" 2). In the sense of smelling the ghost or spirit, the smell may be one that is associated with the person such as smoke if they were a smoker to even flowers as if they were a gardener. A touch of a ghost may be a cold chill or breeze or a tickling sensation. Some noises caused by a ghost may include knockings, tapings, bumping, electrical appliances turning on, and even a phone call ("Ghosts" 3). .
Ghost and spirit investigators use cameras, digital and still cameras to find the presence of ghosts and spirits (Krivyanski 3). An electronic voice phenomena (EVP) I used to record unexplained voices in a room or area (Krivyanski 4). "Most of the time, when we do record an EVP, it is a comment to a conversation the investigators are having at the time with the partners. The voice is always man, woman, child, or animal," says Sherri Higgins (Krivyanski 4).
