May 3/08 - The Orb Mystery

The Orb Mystery
Category: Life

Orbs...are those circular transparent balls of...something... that have 
been found in countless photos, yet are almost always invisible to the naked 
eye.  There are many theories out there as what could be the cause of the 
apperance of them.  Since they are found quite predominantly in areas believed 
to by frequented by spirits and ghostly activities, many feel that this proves 
that there is a level of existence  after we die.  Some would argue that orbs 
are simply light reflecting off such things as dust particles or water vapour
in the air.  Other than while watching the BBC"s "Most Haunted", I really never 
bothered to give them much thought one way or another...until this week.

After looking at a picture taken in our living room a few days ago, a large 
orb is present in the photograph!  Even more intriguing is that the orb seems
to have had enough substance to make a shadow!!  This discovery has stirred up
alot  of emotions and questions for us all.  Was this simply a random
reflection of light, or....??  Is this evidence that Darrel has paid us a
visit?  If so, why now?  After trying to contemplate  the potential meaning all
this, we began to re-examine other pictures taken since Darrel died last
September.  To our  surprise, there is a single orb present in several of these
photos that we had never had noticed before! 

Over the past ten years that we have lived in this house, hundreds and 
hundreds of pictures have been snapped in every room, from every angle, and 
every time of day, but never before has there been anything like this.  The
fact that this is such a recent development, and it directly corresponds with 
Darrel's death is both comforting, and somewhat unsettling at the same time.  
Not being a firm believer in what may or may not happen to us once the body 
ceases to function leaves me open to any and all possibilities, and this 
certainly requires an open mind to evaluate.

Many say that there are no such things as coincidence, that things happen 
for a purpose and/or reason.  Being a student of history, I have spent a great 
deal of research looking for the minor, and often obscure events that led to
the larger, more significant ones that helped to shape the world we live in
today.  Though this has served me well in the past, we are no longer talking
about what happened long ago in some distant land.  We are talking about what
is happening now, in my house, to my family...and with my son. 

Darrel's death has deeply touched the lives everyone who knew him, and 
countless others who never had that honour.  Of that I am quite certain.  As to 
the puzzle that now presents itself, I am unsure I want to know, could handle, 
or would be satisfied by any answer anyone could provide

    The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen.  For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.

    The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site.  Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.

    I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.
