My boyfriend and I were walking home from Martin’s Tavern in Georgetown, snapping pictures of each other along the way. When we reviewed the photos, we noticed a peculiar orb appearing in several of them.
This orb seems to lack any recognizable light source and doesn’t fit the pattern of typical lens flares. It was a chilly night, and apart from the occasional passing car, we were completely alone. The orb moved in a way that seemed almost purposeful—like it was dancing.
I compiled a video using Live Photos from my iPhone 13 Pro, added a darker filter, and slowed it down to make the orb more visible.
Has anyone else experienced something similar in the area, or does anyone have any insights on what this could be?
That sounds like a really intriguing experience! It’s fascinating how unexpected phenomena can appear in photos. The fact that you noticed it while reviewing the pictures is definitely intriguing. Many people have shared similar experiences, often attributing these orbs to moisture in the air, camera anomalies, or even potential paranormal activity.
Given that it was a freezing night, it could also be a moisture or ice particle reflecting light in a way that created the appearance of an orb. However, the deliberate movement you described adds an eerie touch that could leave anyone wondering. Have you considered sharing the video so others can see what you captured? It might help others who have experienced something similar or can offer more insight!
