Mystery Greenhouse: Paranormal? Trick of Light?

On May 7, 2009 there was a storm front that swept across the nation. When it reached my place, in Eastern Kentucky, the cloud formations were just really awesome cool. So I grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures.

Not sure what was going on with my camera at that time. It must have been extra sensitive or I’m developing a nervous grip since most of them were a little blurry and out of focus. Either way, I got some awesome photos that I may turn into prints (they are just that good) and I also got more than I bargained for.

There is a greenhouse that sits a little bit up the ways from my own home. It’s a half circle, plastic covered greenhouse. It was built a good dozen years ago by my Dad who was a farmer. He raised tobacco plants, starter plants, different type of vegetable plants and even some flowers. The place has been empty for almost four years now because he became very ill and could no longer work in the greenhouse like he used to.

He passed away February 27, 2008 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease and congestive heart failure, pneumonia.

Since then we’ve started to upkeep it a bit more. Cleared the weeds from around it. Though I wouldn’t go inside if you paid me. It’s a hothouse for snakes, especially copperheads and water moccasins that are popular in this area.

What’s all that have to do with this odd post? Well, the pictures that I took had some kind of odd light that appeared around the greenhouse. It’s a bright orb, like you see many paranormal researchers showing. It does a funny “v” trick, does a little dance in one corner, and then it stays still in a couple others.

Now, these pictures were taken on a very cloudy day. The sun could barely peek through the clouds because they were so thick and dark. (Which made for awesome contrast photos, but more about those clouds later.) I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary with my eyes, as I was focused on the clouds and not on the greenhouse itself. It was just when I was looking through them that I noticed the orb light.

It’s too high up to be a reflection, when the sun wasn’t even shining on anything that could reflect it. My camera wasn’t shaking that bad for a “v” to form the way it does. Or to do the dance. There was no long exposure set on the camera. And I can’t duplicate the results, even in sunlight.

I don’t know what this is, maybe someone else out there will know?

As you can see that the woods are thick all around, there are no street lights in sight of the orb. And it wasn’t dark enough for them to come on.

These were taken with a KODAK EASYSHARE V803 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA. All the settings were default, except I may have chose the ‘Landscape’ settings for a few of these due to the light. They were all taken on the same day between the times of 8:50pm and 9:00pm.

What do you think they are? Orbs? Spirits? Paranormal? Or just some trick of the light caught on a digital camera? I’m too much of an amateur to actually create these pictures in photoshop.
