21 Heavenly Spirit Orbs Photos

What are orbs? Chances are, you've probably seen them before--they are the curious translucent or solid circles (usually white) that appear unexpectedly in your photos. Orbs may appear in different sizes, as a single spot or as a multitude of spots grouped together.

Some people believe that orbs are more than dust particles or drops of moisture on the lens--they are proof of guardian angels, captured on camera.  When these "spirit orbs" or "angel orbs" appear near a single person or a group of people in a photo, it's a sign that they are blessed with the goodness, positive energy, and protection of angels.  When orbs appear in a particular location, it's also a sign that angels are hovering nearby and the location is particularly blessed.

Here, see 21 orbs pictures shared by our readers and learn more about orbs in our other gallery, "Exploring Orbs."

Orbs During a Wedding Dance

I had spoken to a medium days before my daughter's wedding. My father, who had passed away one and a half years before, had wanted to see her get married. He told me that everyone would be there, and they would dance with the bride and groom.
