Last week we had an overnight stay at the Ibis Hotel in Shipley, West Yorkshire UK. We decided to do a spot of ghost hunting and went equipped with an EMF meter and several 'ghost grid' laser pens which are used in ghost hunting for making a grid on the wall - the theory being that if there is an otherworldly presence about, it will break the grid.
We did manage to film some floating orbs. Now orbs are a controversial theme to debunkers who think up all kinds of explanations for what orbs can be (such as a flying dinner plate, or an elephant's shoe, or the reflected light of the Planet Zogg) but we do believe that at least 60% of orbs are in fact supernatural, even if a few are not.
Orbs tend to have a nucleus in them and sometimes a tiny figure - animal or human, can be seem in the nucleus which glows with a dim light.
They can sometimes be seen with the naked eye and are mentioned in the great occultist Dion Fortune's book 'Psychic Self Defence' which was written nearly a century ago now.
We did find evidence of supernatural activity at the Ibis Hotel in Shipley and we will be mentioning this on other outlets too. Pippin the dog also came along for the ride.
