Why Orbs in Pictures Are Not Proof of the Paranormal

There is an ongoing debate, or at least spirited discussion, among ghost hunters and paranormal investigators about the validity of orbs as paranormal evidence.

A growing number of researchers, however, are concluding that orbs are nothing more than dust particles illuminated by the camera flash.
