One day watching some pictures I realized that there were luminous white circles, for a moment I thought they were a mistake or flaw in the mechanical part of the camera or some dirty glued on the lens, in that a friend, who just watched the photos , it tells me that this is "orbs"... I said orbs? This is the first time I've heard that term. In what I wanted to investigate more of the subject.

I am not one of those people passionate about the mystic or the paranormal, but I confess that I am curious, either to seek a reason for things or to believe in it, in this life you have to be open to learn everything every day.
Researching I realized that there is a wide variety of information about the orbs that even scientific research has been done, so take the most important or what I call more attention. I found that there are several points of view: according to Wikipedia:
... "In photography, a Orb is a typically circular artifact in an image, created as a result of a flash photography that illuminates a speck of dust or other particle. The orbs are especially common in modern compact and ultra-compact digital cameras... "src
This means that if we see it in a normal and common plane a Orb is only the illumination of a very minimal particle that is in the environment and that is seen only with the reflection of the camera's flash, for that reason is very common in the current cameras. It can also influence lighting because in the photos where common mind is presented this situation is in the pictures taken at night and places of little light.

Fujifilm is a corporation expert in film cameras and photography of all kinds indicates that this is a common photographic problem there is nothing strange about it as there is always a certain amount of dust floating in the air and when you use the Flash , the flashing light is reflected in the dust particles and is sometimes captured in the socket. Of course, dust particles that are very close to the camera are blurred because they are not focused, but because the light is more intense than the main subject more distant, the camera captures that reflected light and the resulting image is reflected as Round white spots. So these dots are blurred images of dust particles.
Even at this point in the investigation the theory makes sense, but there are people who refute this point of view as they claim that it is something much more than photo error or ambient dust, that there is something but mystery about it.
There are scholars of the paranormal who A the Orbs define it as "phantom orbs" or "spiritual orbs" and are believed to be life forces. They indicate and believe that when a creature dies (person or animal) its "Life Force" (Soul or spirit) that is inside the physical body or biological material, is released and returns to its natural state of pure energy and these are captured through the camera Fotográ Through Orbs. One of the reasons why this belief is because there are researchers dedicated to the subject who have detected in places where there is an intense paranormal history
The paranormal amateur investigators explain that one of the reasons to which they find sense of this "phenomenon " that these orbs are the presences of human souls who after leaving the physical body, stay close to their loved ones or the Sites that inhabited them, instead of continuing their way towards a higher dimension. If this is the case, it means that the orbs would be manifestations of human souls. Some claim that these spheres of light have been "felt" without reason by various people, as if it were an invisible presence. Even some psychics claim to have seen them in plain sight and have talked with them. In that particular I think "Everything is possible".

Also within my research I found that there are different colors and that their interpretation varies according to the beliefs. However, there are people who interpret the colors of Orbe and give it a meaning based on spiritual beliefs about colors. It is important to note that these are only spiritual theories and have no scientific basis.
The colors may not have any meaning, or according to their beliefs a spirit might be trying to communicate something with color. Colors range from: Clear, white or silver, brown or black, red or orange, green, blue.
The interpretation of the colors varies according to the different beliefs. However, in most cases, people who interpret orb colors and assign meaning do so based on spiritual beliefs about the meaning of various colors. It is important to note that these are only spiritual theories and have no scientific basis.

Although there are many investigations on the subject is still the mystery and for me this is the interesting part because in my opinion there must always be some mystery that senses our beliefs and the desire to continue investigating.
This topic is much more extensive but as I said before I base myself in only general parts, it is interesting the diversity of belief that exists only in learning to respect the beliefs of others because we have a free will that gives us the right to believe in what we want and spiritually completes us
