Mysterious. Elusive. Glowing. Orbs have floated through ghost hunts, spiritual awakenings, and UFO encounters alike, leaving behind more questions than answers. In this episode of ToThe Spirit, Beck and co-host Rachel shine a curious light on the phenomenon of orbs: Are they spirits caught on camera? Alien probes? Interdimensional watchers? Or just dust with a flair for the dramatic?
We’ll explore the spiritual meanings behind orb colors, famoushaunted locations where orbs appear, government documented UFO spheres, and the eerie crossover between ghostly and extraterrestrial encounters. Plus, Beck shares listener stories, personal insights, and asks Rachel whether she’s ever been followed by a glowing sphere herself.
Whether you’re a skeptic, believer, or someone who swearstheir grandma visited as a ball of blue light, this episode invitesyou to look closer at what’s just beyond the lens.

(00:10):
You're listening to to the Spirit.
Podcast. Welcome back, dear listeners of
to the Spirit, the place where the veil isn't just then it's
practically sheer. I'm back your bridge Walker,
truth seeker and ghost light chaser, and tonight we're
(00:34):
lighting the path with somethingglowing, floating and very
persistent in the world of the unexplained orbs.
As always, I'm joined by the lovely, radiant and possibly
bioluminescent Rachel. Rachel, do you glow under
pressure or only an infrared? You know my Biophoton game is
(00:57):
strong back. Well, tonight we're opening the
lens both literally and spiritually on orbs.
From tiny floating spheres caught on night vision cameras
to glowing orbs that chase fighter jets or disappear into
the sea, we're going to explore the paranormal theories behind
(01:17):
spirit orbs, color meanings and spiritual messages, UFO orbs,
government reports and tech cover ups.
Real orb encounters. Some of them are own, whether
these spheres are watchers, messengers, or something else
entirely. So settle in, dim the lights,
(01:38):
and if you see a glowing ball hovering by your ceiling fan,
don't swat it. It might be your great aunt
checking in. Well, let's start with the big
question. What are orbs?
Some call them anomalies, otherssay spirits, a few say they're
just bugs on parade. And then there are those who
(02:00):
believe orbs are part of a far bigger cosmic system, beings of
light or energetic entities not bound to our realm.
Orbs are commonly seen as spherical lights floating in the
air, visible on photo or video, especially with flash, often
color-coded, shifting or even behaving intelligently.
(02:23):
Rach, when was the first time you heard of orbs being
paranormal and not just dust? I think it was on one of those
paranormal shows back in the day.
Probably Ghost Adventures, honestly.
Oh boy, it always comes back to that, doesn't it?
Like, I've been watching that show for years, years, but
that's probably the first I saw the orbs and learned about the
(02:46):
orbs. Some paranormal investigators
say orbs are like spirit scouts,precursors to a full apparition.
Others say orbs are the spirits.And still others, they say orbs
are sentient light forms, almostlike the soul's raw shape.
Let's dig into the ghost world first.
(03:08):
Across haunted locations worldwide, from Waverly Hills to
the Tower of London, people havecaught photos of strange
floating orbs. Some appear near grave sites,
others in homes during or after funerals.
Children and animals often seem to notice them before adults do
the colors, too. A curious paranormal theorists
(03:31):
believe color can signal mood, intent, or spirit type.
White or clear equals neutral, peaceful, blue, healing,
tranquility, protection, green nature spirits, growth energy,
red or orange, strong emotional energy, anger, passion,
(03:52):
unresolved trauma, Purple spiritguides, higher beings, ascended
souls, gold, angelic, divine presence.
Have you ever felt a color connection during a spiritual
moment? Like something is here and it's
blue. Well, it's interesting.
My sister had pointed out something on some photos on her
(04:14):
Facebook pictures and some with like my dad too.
They're outside and it's not every picture, but a lot of them
when they're outside by the beach, by the ocean, they
actually have a little green orbon them.
Huh. Yeah.
And I wondered if it was the sun, but and some of them, like
(04:34):
it's not there. It's not a lot of the outdoor
ones, they're not there. But on specific photos, there's
a little green orb. Well, they relate that to the
nature orbs. Yeah, so that sounds about
right. Makes sense?
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Well, let me share a story from
a listener named Marie. She was sitting by her mother's
Hospice bed, grieving in silence, when she snapped a
(04:56):
photo of her mom's hands. She caught a vibrant golden orb
hovering just above them. A few hours later, her mother
passed peacefully. Marie believes that Orb was a
guide or her mother's soul preparing to lift.
Before we continue, I'd like to share something very special.
I reached out across the valve to connect with someone I've
(05:18):
long admired and respected in the spiritual community, Allison
Gannon. Allison was known for her deep
work with spirit, communication,and mediumship, and she was no
stranger to orbs. In fact, she used to capture
them frequently in photographs and often wondered what exactly
they were. And I used to do little videos
for her, put her orb pictures inwith music so she could send
(05:40):
them off to her friends. And now from her place in the
beyond, I was able to connect with her.
And she offered us this. There are many layers to what
you call orbs. I once believed they were simply
spirit manifestations, brief flickers of those who had
passed. And they are.
But that's not all. They are messengers, gateways,
(06:02):
sometimes even consciousness itself in motion.
Some orbs are loved ones checking in.
Others are ancient watchers, arriving uninvited, but never
without purpose. You see, when you call to Spirit
with a true open heart, orbs areoften the first to answer.
They move with intention, with memory, with grace.
(06:24):
Did I ever figure out what they truly are?
Not completely. And I don't believe I was
supposed to. That's the beauty of this path.
We're meant to follow the light piece by piece, not to solve it
like a Riddle. So keep asking, keep wondering.
And when you record this episode, remember, sometimes the
orb is not the message. Sometimes it's the messenger.
(06:47):
Thank you, Allison, wherever youare, we feel your light.
Now, we wouldn't be good ghost journalist without throwing on
our skeptical hats for a minute.Science says orbs are dust,
pollen or moisture close to the lens.
Flash or IR bounces off particles, creating circular
artifacts. The glow is from the light
(07:10):
scattering in a round shape due to camera focus.
But that doesn't explain orbs seen with the naked eye, or orbs
that move intelligently or hoverfor long periods.
Orbs that follow people across rooms or property lines.
The emotional or physical sensations reported during orb
events. Rachel, have you ever been
(07:32):
touched by an orb or felt something right before 1
appeared? Pretty profound ORB experience
that I had was the week after mymother passed when everybody's
coming into town and we're getting all the arrangements set
up and everything. I'm at my parents house and my
(07:54):
partner David is helping out with the food for the funeral
and he takes a walk around my neighborhood and he's talking to
his mother and they're arrangingand planning everything.
So we're in the house while he'sout there because he has to move
around while he's talking. So I'm sitting in the house and
then David gets off the phone and he walks through the door,
(08:15):
my parents house and all of a sudden my dad runs over to him
and he's like. David, what is going on with
you, David? 'S like what he didn't know
what? The heck was like, yeah, what is
going on? So my dad has his Ring doorbell.
I'm so mad that I never had him send me this because, you know,
didn't plan on being on to the spirit one day where this would
(08:38):
be essential. But as David's walking through
the door on the Ring doorbell, and this is the beginning of
November, and it was a strangely, like really nice
November, the weather was reallywarm.
So as he's walking in, there areall these tiny little white orbs
(09:01):
shooting around him, surroundinghim, shooting around.
I'm like, what the heck is that?So we tested out.
My sister and I go out in the front yard.
Now, again, it's November. There are no bugs to be seen at
all. So as we're standing there and
we look on the Ring doorbell, they're shooting around us.
(09:23):
There are these little orbs, tiny little white ones that are
just shooting around and they'rezipping around.
So they almost have a little tail to them as they're just
floating around us. And it was just like, I have no
idea what it was or who it was or and it didn't happen again
(09:44):
like after that. But it was just crazy how much
they were surrounding David, especially extra strong.
That's crazy because your motherhad just passed, so I can see
how it would be around you and your sister, well, maybe she was
just showing David the love. Yeah, it was a crazy week in
general because all the electricity, the lights and
(10:04):
everything, there's definitely alot of energetic things going
on, but I I really wish I had gotten that that video sent, but
you just have to go by my word. Trust me, I.
Believe you, that's the phenomenon of orb clusters,
multiple lights appearing, sometimes in specific
formations. It's a very different dance than
(10:25):
random airborne fluff. Hey spirit seekers enjoying the

Stay spirited. The.
(11:59):
All right, cue The X-Files themebecause The things are about to
get extra. Extraterrestrial UFO orbs, also
known as UAP spheres, are some of the most wildly reported
aerial anomalies in modern history.
The 2022 Pentagon report specifically listed metallic
(12:21):
orbs as a reoccurring UAP category.
Some characteristics include hovering without propulsion,
moving at hypersonic speeds without sound, entering water or
solid ground, being tracked on radar but invisible to the eye.
There's footage from Iraq, from Navy ships, even from high
(12:43):
altitude balloon missions. And these orbs, they're playing
tag with the military. Do you think some of these
spirit orbs and UFO orbs could be the same thing or maybe just
perceived differently? Yeah, there's different
categories of orbs and some of them are definitely
extraterrestrial. And I think they can go into a
(13:06):
form of an orb, like maybe that's not their true form, but
they can shape shift into that and float about.
We've been seeing a lot of that on TikTok and all around
actually, especially this year. Yeah, more than ever, which is
really interesting to me. Very interesting.
There's a theory in quantum and spiritual circles, orbs might be
(13:30):
conscious data beings not limited to our physical
understanding of space and form.What a ghost hunter calls a
spirit orb, an experiencer mightcall a light being or scout
craft. At Skinwalker Ranch, for
example, investigators have reported orbs draining
equipment, causing radiation spikes, zipping away when
(13:54):
approached, even melting ground material.
And one researcher said the orbsweren't seen.
They were felt like a presence in the mind before the eyes
could adjust. Here's where things get really
wild. What if orbs are
interdimensional? Spiritualists, shamans and
contactees alike have described orb encounters during altered
(14:17):
states, meditation, trauma, neardeath, or sleep paralysis.
In many traditions, orbs are spirit messengers or protectors.
They guide souls during astral travel.
They appear when someone is awakening or shifting timelines.
Maybe that's outrage. We've been shifting timelines
like crazy. We sure.
(14:38):
Have Maybe that's why they're everywhere.
Have you ever seen an orb duringdreamtime or meditation?
Yeah, it's interesting because alot of times when I go to bed
now, my room is pitch black. I have blackout curtains.
I have a dark bedroom, but when I go to bed and I close my eyes,
sometimes I see a radiating ballof light.
(15:01):
So sometimes I see those orbs with my eyes closed.
It's crazy because it almost feels like there's a light on
and you have your eyes closed. Then I open my eyes and it's
completely pitch black. That sounds like the woman that
once told me when she was meditating.
A blue orb floated into her third eye field and she saw
(15:24):
flashes of her past lives. She believes it wasn't a
hallucination, but a visitor unlocking something ancient.
That's interesting. As far as my experiences with
orbs, I've caught a few on camera as well.
Gettysburg, actually. I caught a few on camera
pictures of my friends when we were on the battlefield at night
(15:46):
and it was winter. It was December.
There were no bugs. I had no explanation.
It was bright, it was round and luminous, and it was large and
it was on my friend's chest. I also remember feeling that day
very like nauseous. And I actually had to run to the
bathroom from the battlefield tothe hotel because our hotel was
(16:10):
not far off the battlefield. And I remember everyone saying
she's just scared. She's just scared.
And I had this overwhelming feeling of grief and
nervousness, but I wasn't scared.
But I blamed it on the Taco Bell.
One time I had gone with my friends to a place called Star
(16:34):
Hill. And it's a haunted Rd.
It's it's got a history. And we went at night around
Halloween. Actually, it might have been
Halloween night. We went up in the dark and this
is a road that's so thin you can't turn around.
There is a turn around spot at the top like a lookout.
But we continued on and started descending down the hill.
(16:55):
And as you descended down the backside of the hill, it was all
not paved. It was a dirt Rd. very small,
just your car tires could just fit a sedan.
And as we slowly descended, on our right was the cemetery.
It was an old cemetery, very small.
My friends were telling ghost stories and we all got out of
(17:18):
the car and my friend had a camera and she was taking
infrared pictures into the cemetery.
And I remember feeling very nervous, like I didn't want to
leave from the driver's side of the car was in the backseat
driver's side. So I was standing back there and
I was just kind of peering over into the cemetery when I started
seeing all these orbs really brilliantly bouncing up and down
(17:42):
like they were lanterns in the woods behind the cemetery.
Now, I didn't know what exactly that was, but it didn't have a
good presence. It didn't feel warm and fuzzy.
It felt frightening. And I wanted to go.
I think everyone really wanted to go.
When you know, you know because it'll have a frequency and if
you don't have a good feeling about it, you got to trust your
(18:04):
instincts on that. I agree.
So I think they can come in all shapes and sizes.
So where does this leave us? Orbs might be spirits, souls,
light beings, alien tech, interdimensional intelligence,
or yes, floating drywall specs that got a little too confident.
(18:25):
Yeah, sometimes they really are bugs.
And yeah, you got to differentiate.
But after hearing hundreds of stories, some breathtaking, some
bone chilling, it's hard to chalk them all up to dust
bunnies with the light budget. They appear when emotions are
high, when the Val is thin, whensomething wants to be seen.
(18:46):
They hover, blink, watch, and maybe, just maybe, they're
waiting for us to wake up and notice them.
Final glow thoughts before we let our orbs drift home.
If you ever want to try to see if you got something going on in
your house, take your phone, putthe flash on and just take some
(19:06):
pictures. I feel like digital cameras
really picked up orbs a lot. I think they still make
disposable cameras out there somewhere.
I feel like those catch orbs more than phones honestly.
Something about the film kind ofhas more of that because, you
know, you look at old photos, there's definitely more evidence
(19:29):
of orbs on there. Yeah, I agree.
Yeah. So if you ever just, you know,
you feel a vibe or something, oryou feel like you're not alone,
just put your flash on and take a picture and see what you find.
Sometimes people have even told me that they've captured orbs
and when you look in it, they can see faces in the orbs.
(19:49):
Yes, and I think I've seen some photos like that as well.
Those are extra spooky. Thank you to all our listeners
who walk this path with wonder. If you've seen an orb, whether
in a haunted house, on a dark road, or in a dream, send us
your story at to thespiritpod@gmail.com.

In many traditions, orbs are spirit messengers or protectors.
They guide souls during astral travel.
They appear when someone is awakening or shifting timelines.
Maybe that's outrage. We've been shifting timelines
like crazy. We sure.
(14:38):
Have Maybe that's why they're everywhere.
Have you ever seen an orb duringdreamtime or meditation?
Yeah, it's interesting because alot of times when I go to bed
now, my room is pitch black. I have blackout curtains.
I have a dark bedroom, but when I go to bed and I close my eyes,
sometimes I see a radiating ballof light.
(15:01):
So sometimes I see those orbs with my eyes closed.
It's crazy because it almost feels like there's a light on
and you have your eyes closed. Then I open my eyes and it's
completely pitch black. That sounds like the woman that
once told me when she was meditating.
A blue orb floated into her third eye field and she saw
(15:24):
flashes of her past lives. She believes it wasn't a
hallucination, but a visitor unlocking something ancient.
That's interesting. As far as my experiences with
orbs, I've caught a few on camera as well.
Gettysburg, actually. I caught a few on camera
pictures of my friends when we were on the battlefield at night
(15:46):
and it was winter. It was December.
There were no bugs. I had no explanation.
It was bright, it was round and luminous, and it was large and
it was on my friend's chest. I also remember feeling that day
very like nauseous. And I actually had to run to the
bathroom from the battlefield tothe hotel because our hotel was
(16:10):
not far off the battlefield. And I remember everyone saying
she's just scared. She's just scared.
And I had this overwhelming feeling of grief and
nervousness, but I wasn't scared.
But I blamed it on the Taco Bell.
One time I had gone with my friends to a place called Star
(16:34):
Hill. And it's a haunted Rd.
It's it's got a history. And we went at night around
Halloween. Actually, it might have been
Halloween night. We went up in the dark and this
is a road that's so thin you can't turn around.
There is a turn around spot at the top like a lookout.
But we continued on and started descending down the hill.
(16:55):
And as you descended down the backside of the hill, it was all
not paved. It was a dirt Rd. very small,
just your car tires could just fit a sedan.
And as we slowly descended, on our right was the cemetery.
It was an old cemetery, very small.
My friends were telling ghost stories and we all got out of
(17:18):
the car and my friend had a camera and she was taking
infrared pictures into the cemetery.
And I remember feeling very nervous, like I didn't want to
leave from the driver's side of the car was in the backseat
driver's side. So I was standing back there and
I was just kind of peering over into the cemetery when I started
seeing all these orbs really brilliantly bouncing up and down
(17:42):
like they were lanterns in the woods behind the cemetery.
Now, I didn't know what exactly that was, but it didn't have a
good presence. It didn't feel warm and fuzzy.
It felt frightening. And I wanted to go.
I think everyone really wanted to go.
When you know, you know because it'll have a frequency and if
you don't have a good feeling about it, you got to trust your
(18:04):
instincts on that. I agree.
So I think they can come in all shapes and sizes.
So where does this leave us? Orbs might be spirits, souls,
light beings, alien tech, interdimensional intelligence,
or yes, floating drywall specs that got a little too confident.
(18:25):
Yeah, sometimes they really are bugs.
And yeah, you got to differentiate.
But after hearing hundreds of stories, some breathtaking, some
bone chilling, it's hard to chalk them all up to dust
bunnies with the light budget. They appear when emotions are
high, when the Val is thin, whensomething wants to be seen.
(18:46):
They hover, blink, watch, and maybe, just maybe, they're
waiting for us to wake up and notice them.
Final glow thoughts before we let our orbs drift home.
If you ever want to try to see if you got something going on in
your house, take your phone, putthe flash on and just take some
(19:06):
pictures. I feel like digital cameras
really picked up orbs a lot. I think they still make
disposable cameras out there somewhere.
I feel like those catch orbs more than phones honestly.
Something about the film kind ofhas more of that because, you
know, you look at old photos, there's definitely more evidence
(19:29):
of orbs on there. Yeah, I agree.
Yeah. So if you ever just, you know,
you feel a vibe or something, oryou feel like you're not alone,
just put your flash on and take a picture and see what you find.
Sometimes people have even told me that they've captured orbs
and when you look in it, they can see faces in the orbs.
(19:49):
Yes, and I think I've seen some photos like that as well.
Those are extra spooky. Thank you to all our listeners
who walk this path with wonder. If you've seen an orb, whether
in a haunted house, on a dark road, or in a dream, send us
