Stuart’s Malevolent Orbs?
Stuart’s Malevolent Orbs?
by Annette Munnich August 2008
A few months ago I was sent an amazing photo from my friend Rob Smith (EVP/ITC Australia) and that led me to trying to find some advice for Stuart. Stuart from Queensland Australia, feels he is attacked by orbs. He believes they are mean-spirited and out to hurt him. Now the pictures as you can see here are pretty extreme.I will tell you upfront that I have been kind of warned off this project because no paranormal investigator worth his or her salt nowadays pays much attention to orb photographs. In fact it’s true that many of the experts I tried to consult with did not respond.
The e-mails from Stuart to me pulled me in his corner. He told me that no one believed him or would help him. He has had many paranormal experiences in his lifetime. Stuart died and was resuscitated many times. He is able to see auras and have out of body experiences. My own experience in the paranormal has shown that people who have had near death experiences sometimes come back with “gifts” Stuart seems very sincere in his distress.
Orbs and the Paranormal Community
I do love the TAPS guys and I understand that orb photos can never be used as evidence to skeptics because they might be the product of a dirty lens, or dust, or even insects. Okay. This has evolved to a place where black and white thinking has taken over and orbs are totally dismissed as not being real. People have told me, “don’t even talk to me about orbs.”I have a sneaking suspicion that many won’t speak out due to fear of putting a dent in their credibility. One thing about me is that I don’t give a lick about what skeptics think or proving anything to anybody. As the old saying goes… “For some people no proof is necessary and for other people no amount of proof is enough.” Because orb photos could be dust or bugs I don’t think they can be evidence of a haunting in and of themselves. I think they are an energy phenomenon. They seems to show up in haunted locations, and are sometimes seen with a naked eye. Somewhere between the dust and bug theory, and the orbs are proof of ghosts theory, is the truth. Orbs are an energy phenomenon we don’t understand and they are of common occurrence in haunted locales and graveyards. In short, just because they can’t provide the investigator with the perfect proof, does not necessarily mean they are nothing. This is just my opinion, and I’m not afraid to tell it.
Dave Juliano from the Shadowlands Ghosts and Hauntings website says this…
“I always approach things with a bit of skepticism, so when I saw all these websites start showing off these photos as ghosts, I was just as weary as most of you. I just had to try it for myself. I took a 35mm camera that I had used regularly for 6 years in all types of lighting and weather and had never gotten an orb or other unexplainable photo before and went out with a few seasoned field investigators on a cemetery investigation. One of the investigators was psychic and she pointed out a few areas we should take photos, so I did. I also had ghost footsteps walkup behind me twice and I turned around quickly and took photos of the empty air. When I got my photos developed, I had these orbs and fog in those photos that I was told to take, as well as the footstep ones. All my other photos were normal. Coincidence?
Since we do not know what orbs truly are, just that they seem to be found mainly in areas where there is ghost activity, I will tell you what they are not. On a normal investigation there are about 10 people using 10 different cameras, 35mm and digital, and many speeds and brands of film. They all get their film developed at separate places. Let’s say only half of these investigators get some orb photos. Are these water spots or dirt on the lens? That would mean that 5 people all had similar dirt on their lens and all 5 did not clean their lens either. Are these orbs film processing errors? Well the 35mm cameras all had their film developed in different locations and used different film so that is very unlikely. The digital cameras can’t have film-processing errors. I am aware that some people feel that the orbs on a digital camera are an error in the digital processing of the image. When that error does occur in digital photos, the objects tend to be square in nature, not round and they cannot be semi-transparent, the pixel behind would have to be corrupted also. I will not even address the precipitation theory, no legitimate researchers takes photos in any form of precipitation. What about dust and dirt being stirred up? Can that be the cause of the orbs? If that were the case, I would think that there would not be normal photos in a sequence of photos from the same camera and location. All of the shots in a sequence should have the dust or dirt in it. We find that most orb photos do not appear in consecutive photos. All photographers present should get orbs if it is dust being stirred up as well.
These are just a few things for the skeptics to think of when they are condemning an orb photo as a fake or fraud and some things for investigators to consider when checking their photos for positives.”
Anyway back to poor Stuart’s situation
I would like to share some of Stuart’s e-mails to me to help you understand his plight. Now no matter what our personal beliefs are here, there is a person who feels very alone in dealing with what he absolutely believes is a paranormal attack. Since I felt he was sincere in his despair I thought he was worth a few minutes of compassionate consideration, yes?
Dear Annette, I’ve been a successful professional prospector all my life. Prospected internationally and in Australia , I’ve been very lucky, all I’ve ever done is ask and my mate up there has showed me the minerals. My Journey started when I was 6 years old when I got polio and was crippled. I cried and prayed for hours for Jesus to heal me ,as I didn’t want to be crippled .I woke up next day and was healed, My life is a long strange story . I’ve heard voices all my life that have saved me in dangerous times. Out of body experiences that have changed my consciousness for ever.I died 7 or 8 times on a life support for 1 .5 months and came back . I got a deadly incurable bacteria from bats in an old gold mine. Thats another story. I went on journeys to the other side , maybe that’s why these orbs are attracted to me. Maybe they see something different in my aura, I’ve seen aura’s around everything since I was six years old. Regards, Stu.. PS. I had a bad night last night , an orb came above me in bed and flashed a brilliant white light that hit me on the forehead, I then had an electric shock that really hit me hard right through my body. Twice now. It then zapped me 3 times in the head, cells sparking. 43 times now. Annette , if these orbs let loose on humans we are in big trouble, they are not friendly. I’ve have seeked danger all my life, I was a crocodile hunter when I was younger,I got hooked on the adrenalin in the hunt. Prospected in Bulgaria with the Russians, plenty of danger there, Prospected in the jungles of Central America, Panama, Costa Rica and Honduras confronted all the dangers, BUT I’m up against something different now something I can’t see fully , I am really concerned.
Dear Annette,My ears started to ring high pitched ,I was laying back in an arm chair , I had the camera ,pressure started to come on my head, I was about to be zapped I flashed and here is the photo. My foot in the picture, Regards ,Stu.
Dear Annette, Re: the EMF meter , I don’t have one. Every time I go onto the computer and send orb pictures, that night I get zapped, again last night. What I have been hearing is like a grunt or a bark sound, then I am zapped, but it sounds like it’s in my head . last night I woke hearing like a pack of savage dogs growing, I thought it was out side but it was in my head ,then zapped. When I went to sleep I thought of my old crocodile hunting days, I feel they read my mind, they certainly observe me on the computer as I have photographed them. They are very intelligent.It sounds crazy but its real. I feel if anyone keeps photographing them over and over and over in one area eventually they will be attacked. Regards, Stu
I think maybe because he is surrounded by so many orbs he is experiencing something akin to electrical shock from their combined energy. I suggested that but he feels otherwise. He feels they are coming to him with malevolent intent. I am referring this case to my friend Allison Andrews in Australia. She has a TV show there called Haunted Australia and hopefully some good contacts over there. More than I do for sure.I’d like to find someone who could help him in person.
Now it’s up to you my Parareaders to decide for yourselves. Is Stuart crazy? Seeking attention? Is his lens really, really, dirty? Or is Queensland the land of outrageous dust and bugs? I don’t know the answer.
If any of you has any help to offer Stuart please e-mail me at editor@paranormalpython.com
A special thank you to Steven LaChance and Dusty Smith, for being consultants on this case.
Steven and Dusty are both very straightforward and helpful. I appreciate the input very much.
UPDATE
With none of us knowing what to do in a case like this as it is the first of it’s known kind, it was decided to recommend A picture of Saint Michael and the accompanying Saint Michael’s prayer. Stuart reports that his attacks have lessened in frequency but still occur on occasion.
The Prayer reads as follows~
Prayer to Archangel Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

To me orbs are very interesting. I say if they have their own light source than how can we explain that. Also I do not know how to explain when you take a pic and there is an orb and take another pic right after and it has moved or is gone. Thats also an interesting thing about orbs!
