  • Some orbs captured by digital cameras are real
  • Frequent two-way communication possible
  • New technology may make communication easier

There are some exciting new developments in the field. Many are derived from new approaches, theories, and technology. The ghost box and the new theory of orbs are two examples.

Paranormal researcher Beth Fowler contributed an article to the Weekly Universe (www.weeklyuniverse.com) in which she introduced her theory of orbs. In brief, she theorizes that what are commonly called orbs actually are three different kinds of phenomena:
  • Ghost lights, which can be seen with the naked eye
  • Dust orbs, which are light reflecting off dust or other particles
  • True orbs, which have consistency and seem to be in motion
Fowler’s theory of orbs states that there are discernible differences between the three that researchers should consider before discounting all orbs. She offers two options—that if true orbs do exist, they are either balls of energy of unknown origin, or they are spirits.

Another new theory of orbs is the one presented by a former NASA scientist, Professor Klaus Heinemann, and Miceal Ledwith, a former professor of theology and former president of St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, in Ireland. These two highly educated men have established to their own satisfaction, at least, that orbs should not be lightly dismissed. Heinemann was able to determine that digital cameras that had recorded orbs were not malfunctioning, and he became convinced that orbs were an actual paranormal phenomenon.

Instrumental Transcommunication

Some researchers in Europe claim they have achieved almost daily two-way communication with spiritual beings. These entities provide all sorts of advanced technical information through radio, television, VCRs, telephones, and computers. This is all part of a new and growing field called instrumental transcommunications (ITC).

Research in this area has been on-going since 1985, and researchers say some of the new approaches yield excellent results.
