I can name a few off the top that really got me. Ghost Story, Ghostbusters (not really scary but great), and the Ring come to mind as all time favorites. Does anyone else have any to list? This review made me interested in watching a creepy flick. This post made me think of the scary movies that I love. I can name a few off the top that really got me.

It's a great synthesis on research on the topic. You are right--according to their photographic samples my orb seems to clearly fall into the "dust particle" category. The energy orbs they identify--the "true" orbs--have a very distinct look to them. Tom, thanks for the wonderful resource from BSPHI. It’s a great synthesis on research on the topic.

If you search for photography and refraction, many great sites will come up. Orbs are very easy to recreate, and the cheaper the camera, the better the orb pictures seem to be. Orbs can also be caused by rain, hair, etc. There's a fantastic pdf on this subject from a group out East somewhere, and I've passed it along to many people who wonder about "orbs" and the paranormal.
