(UN)explained?
Published by on May 2nd, 2005
Take a quick look at this link: Unexplained
Yet another so-called paranormal investigation group (more of a bunch really), passing off pictures of illuminated dust particles as ghostly orbs.
If you have a digital camera, particularly one with a small diameter lens, you’ll have seen such effects yourself, caused by the camera flash reflecting off tiny dust particles very close or even on the surface of, the camera lens. We all get them, we all accept them as a glitch.
But there are a disturbingly large group of people around the world who believe bad photography is less operator error and more visual interference from the other world. What bugs me about place like Ghost Search UK is they attempt to profit out of misrepresentation. It’s one thing having a belief in something, quite another to blatantly ignore explainable, physical and most importantly reproducible phenomena for financial gain.
The uber-believers strike again, lowering the global common sense meter several notches further into oblivion.
To gain an authoritative view on such photographic phenomena (without hype, obsession and stupidity), pay a visit here: paranormalghost.com.

Aw… does that mean you don’t really believe it was the Virgin Mary in Chicago either?
I guess I’ll try to cancel our flight of pilgrimage…
