My story is I live in Canada, Ontario, although my ghost stories aren't frightening at all but they mostly consist of orb photo's that I plan to submit later on of course.
My mom and my dog Diego are 2 people that have passed away that were very close to me and my old dog Miel that was a family pet. [French for honey].
So it starts from here;
I constantly took pictures of my dog Mocha and sometimes I would capture these little balls of light but not often but I was always fascinated by the paranormal. Then, after when I had adopted my next dog Diego, I caught an orb in a photo with both of my dogs sitting together and right in between them was sitting an orb... Smiling, this kind of spooked me and gave me a bit of a chill. Although I ignored it and I continued taking more photos and would sometimes catch the odd one here and there, but they were normally captured when I took the pictures at night.
Then when Diego was put down at the sad age of 1 year and a half [I only had him for 2 months], I started capturing more and more orbs and always caught this smiling orb, and it always got to me whether it was my mom or Diego. I have quite a lot of photo's which I edited on picnik to get a clearer view of these orbs and the smiling one which is always seen with my dog Mocha now, I think it might be her guardian angel:).
I'm not very old either I'm at the age of 17 experiencing such tragedies at a young age, my mom had passed away when I was 6yrs old and had lost many family members on my mom's side [she's from a family of 16 kids or so], but I learn to heal from them.
To add, there are more than 3 orbs, averagely about 5-7?, and the orbs are usually active in my dining area, not sure why but I always capture them there, and normally when I start taking pictures the orbs seem to move away as if they hate pictures or something?
Thanks for reading,
And that's my story about my smiling orb and my short story.
I read your post and I stand by what I said. It was dust. Sometimes you can see what you want to see.
