This was the first photo I ever took of Tim. November 2005, outside the Tower of London. I didn't think anything of it at the time and put the sphere to the right of Tim down to lens flare. It didn't even occur to me odd that the photo Tim then took of me and Rob, seconds later and in EXACTLY the same place on the rails where Tim stood, didn't have the sphere in it. Tim saw the pic and was very excited - he explained that the 'lens flare' was in fact, an ORB and it wasn't unusual for these to appear in photos with him........
orb n. a floating sphere of light believed to be of a disembodied spirit.
Some months later, on another visit to our place, another orb manifested itself in a photo with Tim. It's unclear as to whether the spirit was visiting with Tim or already in the house* and just attracted to his aura.
If You have looked through the photo albums on this site, you may have come across a few breaks in the 'regular' photos where we point out ORB activity. This has become pretty common-place now and isn't so much of a big deal for us but a few years ago it was a different story....
...Back in 2005, we made the aquaintance of Timmy, a guy with a very keen interest in the paranormal. Over those initial months of spending time with Tim and taking alot of photographs with him we noticed a huge increase in these strange 'glowing spheres' intruding into our photos. This didn't phase Tim one bit and he explained to us exactly what they were and how they are rather attracted to him!
Even those of you with doubts over the photos above would have problems explaining the ones you are about to see....
... The images below were taken with a digital camera (as the ones above were), by Tim, in July 2005 before, and after, a vigil at the Falstaff Experience, Shrieves House, Stratford-upon-Avon.(cameras were not allowed during the vigil).
Shrieves House stands in front of The Falstaff Museum and is the oldest and only Residential House in the centre of Stratford. The night was hosted by a good friend of Tim's, the pyschic, David Matthews who also presents The Sanctuary Show along with Caroline Martin on Birmingham's BRMB 96.4 and, along with Janet Crawford, hosts Frite Nites.















March 2006....
Back in January, Rob took some photos around the Theatre during Pantomime time. One of the photos (on the left) proved very interesting and clearly showed the presence of orbs around Danny, one of the chorus boys. This pissed me off at the time 'cos Danny is very sexy and the Orb on the face ruined the shot!
Below are several more shots taken on another occasion at The Theatre. To be honest, I would've expected more as these 'spirits' are drawn to emotions and large gatherings (Family Christmases and other such social gatherings have since proved very popular for orb activity).
(Above) There are several orbs around the stage but they are very feint. The one that fascinates me is the really bright one moving in from top right.
<<< Again, these are very feint so I've lightened the image slighty in photoshop.
Rob gets an Orb, lol!
This one was taken by Tim, using Tim's camera (ie. a different camera from the one used for the pix above) which rules out camera fault for any of you sceptics out there!!! >>>
Lordy, this page could run and run! Basically I could keep updating it every month but I think we'll stop here!.....

Our Living room, May 2006.. Please try to concentrate on the Orb Action here and don't question why my husband is laying on the floor in just a jockstrap in, what is obviously, a heavily cropped photo!
This was the first time we had seen such a strong presence in this particular room of the house (Our hallway is the most popular area for the orbs to occupy).
Again, I'd like to point out that the April/May photos were taken with yet another different camera to any other pix on this page.
Through my line of work, I was extremely lucky and privelleged to meet a real legend and inspiration - Sir Simon Marsden - Photographer and Author of 'Phantoms of The Isles', 'Diary of a Ghosthunter' and 'The Haunted Realm' amongst others. Simon strongly believes in the existence of Orbs and was eager to acknowledge that it's only through this Digital Age that we have become aware of them. Conventional film could so rarely capture these enigmas that are now becoming common place in our lives. Orbs exist on a near- infra-red plain, not visible to our naked eye or that of conventional film. Digital cameras can pick up certain amounts of this infra-red hence aknowledging the orb's presence. Another key factor in digitally recording Orbs is that they 'flouresce' and are therefore nigh on impossible to record without the use of flash.
In the past year, Orbs have been getting more common place in our photos and to include them all here would just make this page never-ending but I have continued to show examples in our regular Photo Album Pages on this site.
Next time you are scrolling through your latest set of photos with your digital camera, take a closer look.. you may be amazed at who else is there with you!.....
For those of you who want to look into this further, a wonderful book was published in 2007 that I would heartily recommend: The Orb Project by Miceal Ledwith and Klaus Heinemann. (Atria Books/Beyond Words Publishing).
