I know, I know... Orb photos! Not always the best example of ghost photography, is it dust? Is it light? Or an apparition? Who knows. All I know is I recently went to Belfast and when I looked at the photos I took, all 7 of them, I found 3 interesting pictures. I'll give you a bit of background then my humble opinion.
I visited Belfast, Northern Ireland July this year as a birthday treat from my girlfriend. We stayed in a large hotel called 'Radisson SAS', which was built on the land of Belfast's old gasworks. If my memory serves correct, the gasworks was fully operational from 1893 until 1988. I haven't looked into the history of the Gasworks for no other reason than laziness! I would like to find out more, but we are planning to go back soon so I'll get some info straight from the source as it were.
When we arrived we somehow managed to get ourselves an upgrade to a business class room, which turned out to be a rather nice large room, with a massive bed. The bed was so big in fact, I made my girlfriend take a photo of me star like on it. I then took a picture of my girlfriend doing the same... don't worry we've got clothes on! I used my Samsung digital camera, which despite its love of batteries and all the power they contain, is a good little camera. I then took a couple of pictures of the room and another of my girlfriend standing by the bed. Not all the pictures came out due to the giant window and the sun coming in, but the 3 mentioned above have what appear to be orbs.
I've marked out what I think are orb-like shapes on all the pictures. The first picture is me on the bed (sorry for inflicting my ugly mug upon this lovely site!), I can see 2 full round shapes and a larger half-orb shape in the top right.
The second picture is my girlfriend on the bed. I've marked 5 shapes, but I'm not too sure about all of them. Although I do find the two over her chest quite funny!
The third picture is my girlfriend by the bed. I've marked 7 shapes that are questionable. The ones in the top left corner appear to be in a rather straight line, which makes me think it could be some kind of glare from the light. I should point out that in this picture the window is behind me, and in the ones of us on the bed, the window is on the right hand side of the picture.
So those are my pictures, what do you think? I've never had anything like this show up in any pictures before, and I must admit I was excited when I saw them. Although I did then kick myself for not actually checking them until 3 weeks after I got back! I'm not saying for definite that these are orbs, I would just like some other opinions. I've shown them to a couple of friends and got a response of 'ooooohhh'. But I did get a good response from someone whose opinion I valued, which gave me the courage to post them on here (you know who you are!).
P.S. In case it's puzzling you, Lian is a girl's name... Yes I'm a girl (although the photo is questionable!)... with a girlfriend.
My thoughts on these? I have a feeling they might be (mainly) dust. My reason for this is such; Hotels rooms are cleaned, then sometimes left empty for quite some time. Dust settles. When people come in and move around, lay on the bed, etc., they kick up that dust.
So, there may be a chance that it was just some dust floating around!
Though, I'd love to be wrong!:D
