Orb Photo with a Face Inside? Carl's Story

Welcome. If you're new here, be sure to subscribe to Ghost Hunting Secrets for free ghost hunting tips, videos, haunted locations, and other goodies. Thanks for visiting!

One of my subscribers, Carl, sent me an interesting orb photo and story.  He asked me to share his story and photos online with you.  Carl writes:

"I have a photo that will send a cold shiver down your spine.  My daughter at the time was 8, and she kept telling me about a woman who came to see her at night.  When I asked my daughter what the woman looked like, she described my aunt who died a few years ago (to the tee).  Then one night, my daughter told me the woman wanted her to come outside in the backyard (thank god she didn't).  Anyhow, I took a picture of my kids outside and there was an orb—but not just any orb, this had a complete FACE inside of it.  Eyes, nose, mouth… everything.  There is one photo with nothing on it, and another photo with a face inside the orb.  I took two pictures, and only one had the orb. "

Here is the photo without the orb:

Here is the photo with the orb:

"I zoomed-in as much as I could on the picture, and these are the best up-close images I can get.  PLEASE believe me when I say this house had to be haunted.  This picture was not messed with in any way or form—this is a true picture.  The image inside the orb looks like a skull to me.  Please remember my daughter was only 8 at the time, and she was telling us stuff that there's is no way she would know.  As you can see, I sent you both pictures, and only one had this orb in it—the other didn't.  There was no light, no moon, and the inside light and screen door were behind her.  This is the same time my daughter started seeing things—she was really scared at this house.  We had to move because of it, and the same day we moved she has NEVER seen anything again.

"However, ever since we arrived in Florida in 2005, it seems like a cloud follows us everywhere we go.  Now in our new home, we are hearing things like children crying, seeing candles fall off the wall.  Last night, I went outside and took some pictures.  The moon was covered by clouds, and no lights were on for a block.  I turned my flash off, and captured images of orbs around the outside of the house.  I’m not scared or anything.  I would even love to become a ghost hunter, just because I never really believed in them until now."

Well, let me ask you something, sometimes I don't see ghosts but I could feel the energy of like cold airs, or cold breeze.  I'm 22, my ethnicity is Hmong.  I don't usually see it, but I feel an energetic cold breeze, like someone's watching me and my boyfriend.  So, what's the answer  – You don't ever see ghosts, but you feel and hear.  E-mail me back, I'm trying to look for answers out there about ghosts. Thanks.

Carl @ 11:49 pm

I know what you are saying, I feel that as well.  I would love to talk to you about it… Carl

Hey, I believe you.  I have so many orb pics, and a lot of them zoomed-in have faces in them.  I live in a haunted house, we are so used to all the activity and visitors. lol

Those are great photos.  That is what makes an orb photo intriguing, the context.

I like others have some great orb pictures, and also mist and vortex.  Even though it was a clear night out and 46 degrees , people don't realize that particles float through the air, out of 500 pictures we took at night in a cemetery, we got 3.  A white ball coming down the road floating in the air, but the orb we also got was bigger than a beach ball.  This still could of been particles, but it's up to you to judge what you think stuff is.  Remember you were there, so always be your own judge, and never get upset at what others think and tell you.

Carl, Send me your email address and I will send you a copy of a photo that I took of my neice.  It was at Christmas and we were all outside.  Do you have more photos with orbs?  I have tons.  I for some reason have found it strange that of all of the people in my family, I am the only one that sees them.  I was in an old mine yesterday and have photos of colored orbs.  Very interesting, do you believe?

Carl @ 11:24 pm

Hi Katheryn…sorry it took a while for me to email…but my email address is merrittdrains@aol.com.  Email me anytime.  I would love to see you pictures!  So very interesting.  Look forward to hearing from you…Carl

Normally a skull means death, but don't over-react.  If there was something haunting your house, it would stay in the house.  So look outside for something out of the ordinary, k.  Feel free to e-mail me.

Carl @ 9:19 pm

Thanks for the info.  Did it look like a skull to you?  I wasn't for sure…about 6 months after that photo, my cousin was killed in a bad motorcycle crash.  I would like to learn more on hunting for ghosts.  I really find it very interesting.. thanks Carl

Interesting article. As a psychic, I see ghosts often. They appear to me as an ordinary human being appears (in full) but what I do experience more often than not, is a sort of orb that materialises first and then the ghost grows from that starting point. Don't know if this is interesting or not to anyone else????

I think the paranormal is very interesting and I love all the stories and evps. As a kid I saw my papa and talked to him as I also saw my great grandmother rose. I described her because she died before I was born.  My nana found a pic of her and I descibed her just like the pic.  Believe me I never knew about her or the pic until she came to me! Yes I have talk to many other spirits at that time and my grandma told me I have a gift to talk and see spirits.  I am a psychic medium, but I have lost touch with my gift as I'm 17 now, and I want to get it to come back!

Really interesting. Learning a lot about orbs, thanks everyone. I have a really good photo of a face in an orb I took at the Old County Jail in Jim Thorpe, PA. It was a really creepy place to be in and I couldn't wait to get out of there. If any one is interested, I can forward it on. Let me know.

We, for entertainment on occassion, started doing a oujii board in the backyard. Now everytime we go outside and sit in our backyard half of our photographs have orbs in them. They all have faces. Some faces are so prominent that you can see hair flowing and a complete non-distorted face. It is amazing. Not all pictures have them even though taken right after another in the same place. There are hundreds. It is actually very sad. Like they are all waiting for us to do the oujii board again. We have never been bothered by them in our house or they have never made me feel uncomfortable. I would love to send you the pics. They are incredible.

I took a picture of a sign on 10/2/09. Above the sign is an orb almost the size of the sign. I was truly amazed at what I had found when I zoomed in on the orb after downloading it onto my computer. People. And many of them. All dressed in clothing from the 1800s.

i just recently witnessed two orbs in my bedroom. this is my first experience with seeing anything and i'm curious why one was like a light–orange colored and the second was light and dark grey? both were round shaped and about the size of an adult head….and appeared a couple feet above the floor. although i was spooked, i didn't get a bad feeling and actually remained in the room after what i had witnessed. both appeared in the wee morning hours; between roughly 2-4am. any info would be greatly appreciated! courtneywebb77@gmail.com

my son was taking photos of my 3 year old daughter, and when we looked at this we could see a large orb next to my daughters face, when we zoomed in we could see a clearface of my mother, i sent this photo to a clairvoyant, who gave me a reading on this, im looking for a second opinion on this, as i need to know if the things she told me where true.
does anyone know of anyone who reads orbs?????

so i go outside my house at night and i take a bunch of orb pictures as much as i can. they dont relly scare me but i enjoy taking the pictures….alot of people kinda think its kinda creepy….but i dont relly care. i dont think that they can harm people….but im not relly sure. sometimes i feel like someone or something is watching me…in my own home. its kinda funny….because i get relly scared…and worked up over it….but its kinda fun…that might be why i enjoy taking the pictures. but i love to look at the pics. im not relly sure if ghosts are real…but these are kinda fun. ive been thinking and i know that they aren't light reflections…but if they arent then im not quite sure what else can explain them. but i really so love the sight.

Monica @ 9:33 am

sue. i kinda wanna see the picture..if you could send it to me at punkrockprincess0@gmail.com

My 3.5 year old son on more than one occasion has talked about seeing flying "circles". He describes them usually as being purple or blue and sometimes pink. Last night (around 1am) his younger sister was having a rough night and was keeping him up so I brought him into bed with me. He was saying "look! Look!" and pointing at nothing I could see. He told me there was little pink and blue circles, that they liked to fly around him then they would leave and go to their "favorite place" which he only described as a "long building". He says he isn't scared because "they are friendly". He's only 3 so getting a really good description can be tough! But I believe that he is telling the truth, he gets so excited when he sees them and gets frustrated when I can't. Could these be orbs he's seeing? Has anyone ever had an experience like this? I too, am highly sensitive to the paranormal, and my son often freaks us out with stuff he says and experiences, but I have never experienced anything like this. Anyone with something similar to share would be so appreciated!

Hi, I have been seeing various orbs in my home, but it seems that about 90% have some type of human face, be it a woman, man and or baby. I have started to see images as well, on my living room walls of people, Ive seen an elderly man, a woman, a baby, a few children maybe around the age of 5-9, a distinguished man as well. I have heard a voice say "hey" in my ear and awoke me from my sleep, my daughter woke up with a woman sitting at the edge of her bed, my son saw a man sitting in the steps outside my backyard door, he was so scared he couldnt speak for about 5 minutes, he just said that the man stared at him, and looked very mean. I also had an incident where someone grabbed my thigh as I slept. My partner has noticed black shadows here and there, and my son states that he hears people (mainly children) having conversations in the kitchen, the place where my dogs tends to bark at almost every night. Do u know of someone who can help me? Thank You.

B. Henry @ 1:15 am

first i would like to thank you for putting these pictures on the web. To me it does not look like a skull, however it looks like a face of a person you would see in a very old picture. No matter it is still a very interesting picture!

Richard @ 8:11 pm

First picture was of orbs very curious, bad mistake, other pics were of a youngish male laid out on my kitchen floor, perfect detail.. A picture of my old dad and his favorite dog but many negative shots, culminating in a picture of what I beleive was a demon, didnt examine it too long erased it as fast as my fingers would allow. My wife and I now see faces on wallpaper and many other surfaces, mostly negative. My son who came to stay over Christmas, and doesnt believe in this sort of thing was awoken by a feeling of being gripped behind the neck…slept with the light on for the rest of his stay ….Wish I never took photos, just want rid ….

sharon clark @ 4:25 am

i also have a strange orb picture with what looks like a young girl in an old photo inside this colorful orb.  It's not until you zoom in towards it then you can see it more clearly. i am looking for someone to help shed some light on this…

many thanks

Evelyn Brown @ 11:28 am

I also have an orb picture with a face. I know that my house is haunted. we have music being played when we come home and different things have been broken. I just started taking pictures in the dark. I notice that every picture that had orbs in them leads me to my bedroom. I just need to know why, and what does it mean with a face. I can e-mail anyone that wants to look at the picture. Evelyn

Nicole @ 2:22 am

Hi I dont mean to sound rude here…but I am not a big fan of the orb because there are too many risks of what else it could be. I am not saying that your house isnt haunted, it might be, but have you had true investigators come in to your home and check it out? Do you have any true evidence aside from this picture about your home? Do you have EVPS that you have caught or other pictures?

Heather @ 3:44 pm

Hi there, i am new to this but last friday night, my boyfriend felt very sick and asked me to pass him my camera and after he took a picture he caught a white ball in the corner of my room. on every picture i have seen at least 3 or 4 orbs. But tonight i was messing about when i took a picture and on it is a single white orb but the size of the orb is alot bigger then what ive ever caught…. i zoomed in on the orb and i can make out a skull inside it. I dont know what this means but i'm scared in case it means something bad. I'm not sure how to upload pics on here but if someone could help me id be a lot happier and feel more at ease, as at the minute im getting the vibe that this is something evil in my house. Someone please get back to me a.s.ap. Thank you.

Michele Shepherd @ 7:25 pm

Hi Carl! I recently just attended my cousin's Memorial Benefit this past weekend. While going through some of the pictures that were taken, I've noticed quite a few orbs in the pictures. Most of them have one orb and one has 2 orbs. When I zoom in on these pictures I see faces in each and every one of them. Not a skull like face or anything, but mainly just a full face. In one of them I see just a profile view. I would really love for you to look at these pictures and tell me what you think. Please let me know if I can send these to you and you can take a look at them. I will also mention that my cousin was murdered last year at the age of 32. His Memorial/Benefit was actually on his birthday. I'm not sure if that matters. :) Thanks so much!

Hi, Michele  Sorry it took me awhile to contact you. I would really love to see the photo's. Please send me an email along with the pictures. they sound very interesting. email them to me at merrittdrains@aol.com

Hi, I just saw my first orb tonight around my Marilyn Monroe picture on the wall in my home. I took 2 pictures one right after the other. The second picture of Marilyn Monroe shows an orb around her shoulder. I blew up the picture and looked inside the gray orb and saw light colored eyes and a mouth. Mind you, I am a skeptic. I do beleive it may be my dad or a spirit of some sort. My dad's ashes are in my home. He passed 2 years ago. Could this be a sign that he sees us? The person's face did not look like anyone I knew that passed. Can you explain why this is happening? The picture is on facebook as my profile pic if you want to look at it.

Angela Peck @ 9:23 pm

I had my dog Bonny for 13 years, sadly on friday 7th may 2010 we had to get her put down due to bad arthritis making her unable to walk anymore. half an hour before my dad took her to be put down i took a photo of her, later on looking at the photo i realised there was an orb next to her. What does this mean?? And also whilst i was attending the Midnight Youth concert over summer i had a photo taken of me and I had an orb on my right elbow and on my stomach, my daughter also has a particular picture where there are at least 9 orbs in it, one of which is huge. What's happening?

May 16, 2010

Carl @ 11:09 pm

Hi Angela, Sorry to hear about your problem. I would like to see the Orbs, please email them to me at ghorbs@aol.com sometime we may think these are Orbs we are seeing but in reality they are not. I live by this: If you take a picture and the Orb is completely round then it is usually dust or some particle floating in the air in which we don't see. A true Orb is usually Not perfectly round and sometimes it may have a face in it and/or be a different color then white because ghosts are drawn to enegry and energy will show up in different colors. Im not saying a round white orb is not, Im just saying people sometimes get floating objects like dust, etc mixed up with a Orb. Hope this helps! please visit my site at the link above.  Just click on my name. Carl
