the orbs r suposed to be the ghosts?

[GhosthunterOz]

@EV1LDRAG0N - As the titles in the clip and the comments previously posted here attest - there are no representations that "orb" type objects appearing in the clip are paranormal - quite the opposite! For further about "orbs" see the GRI forum.

We looked at the footage several times and noticed something we couldn't explain. At approx 43.153 there appears to be what looks like a man? Sitting behind some sort of table. Unless this is a reflection of something? The investigators move in front of it and nothing seems solid. So either it is a paranormal representation or a reflection of somthing else?

Here is an idea, dust.

[GhosthunterOz]

Certainly not a new idea though ... after all that is the point of the clip!

It certainly is interesting to see that there is an automatic assumption that such video's are being presented to portray something paranormal - when in fact the intent may be to display how normal and common some things are!

[axelgs1]

doh!!

[dawndice]

Who are the other people just standing around? Very weird.

[sniknakh]

mannequins!

[Ghost2hunt85]

I don't see anything. I only see bunch of dust and bugs fly.. sorry.

[GhosthunterOz]

No need to apologise - as stated in the intro that's exactly what you're meant to see!

The footage is an example why most "orb" images from still cameras shouldn't be considered paranormal.

[VampicaX]

the camera moved to the left in the begining of the video, wtg :)

[lizavinc]

prey cool,,,,,thanx 4 video

[robregD03100282]

Did anyone notice when the camera flash that it appeared to be alot of other people standing around in the hallway? Also there seem to be someone sitting at a desk at the far end of the hallway. I cannot tell if its ghost or just the digital camera.

thanx for the vid

[Primeparanormal]

Looks like insects and dust, too many people with too many orbs these days.

[GhosthunterOz]

Exactly the point of the video!

[SerpentineRaven]

You said this was an asylum for the criminally insane in the 1800's? Can you tell me anything about the actual building and what kind of things might have gone on inside while it was in use? Like what kind of treatments did they have for the insane and what kind of doctors? I'm trying to find information about mental health care in the 1800's.

[GhosthunterOz]

Before the site was used an asylum for the criminally insane it was a gaol used to house criminals. You'll find a report on the website regarding our investigation there - including an historical look at the building.

Doctors 'experimented' a lot on inmates. Good luck trying to find information because a lot of it was destroyed. Go for a visit. Some of the tour guides know a lot more than books and websites can tell you because some of them actually worked there before it closed in 1991.

[nikitalara]

Been there with my team also...one hell of an interesting place to investigate...caught some freaky EVPs in the west wing/newest wing corridor...weird feelings in the upstairs left corner cell,and the best part was when something knocked on the window of the(closed & locked) rec room while I was outside it!! am looking forward to going there again...but Aradale is even better...ghost hunting gold,that place!!!

[osevenofive]

Been there, done that ... 8 times or so. JWard was a hard place to investigate. However yes there are mostly bugs and/or dust but when you capture an orb in this place, it truly does impress.

[GhosthunterOz]

Yes J Ward certainly is a great site and a must do. As always, the more you investigate a site the more chance there is of capturing anything unusual. Whilst orbs are often inconclusive at best, the site does has a history of considerably more occurring there. We do hope to return in the future.

[cameltwatt]

if they are orbs then why are the all going the same way and how comre they just dont apear

[GhosthunterOz]

When you keep in mind that most are bugs (as stated in the intro) and that they are actually close to the camera and out of focus, it can be seen that they enter and exit view from different directions. There isn't any on the footage I'd describe as "true orbs" but it does show how natural items like dust and bugs can create "orb like objects", and the amount which occurs during many investigations.

[helgidude]

only dust

[GhosthunterOz]

no not only dust ... most are bugs .... as the title suggests. Further analysis is given in the Investigation report on the website.
