Do you believe in ghost and paranormal stuff?

I'm skeptical but still curious myself.

I've had experiences in the past that made me a believer (in paranormal stuff) but I also am not one to believe everything that is said to be paranormal is, for example...

Orbs in photos. People that believe in this seem to not want to consider that at night with a flash on a camera being used, any dust or other particles floating in the air are going to reflect as a "glowing orb" I even proved this to my wife by taking a picture that had little to no "orbs" and then kicking up the dirt we were standing on, then taking another photo with the flash that showed tons of "orbs".


Unless someone can give me a reason to reconsider orbs as being anything other than dust, then I'm not going to buy it fully.


But then there were other experiences I had that left no other explanation to them except for it being paranormal.

What do you think?


EDIT:

Heres an example of a pic with orbs, I took this picture at the old fort in St. Augustine where they used to perform the executions (firing squads) so of course since this is where people were killed over and over again, any orb is considered a spirit or whatever.

How the fvck do you see orbs in there? It's either bad photochopping or lens flare.

I don't consider that to be an orb myself, but we went on this "ghost tour" where they walk you around supposed hunted places in St. Augustine and when I took some pics and showed the tour guide she got all excited that I had captured a picture with orbs in it.

Orbs are BS. It's dust you kicked up. Go take a night shot in any dusty area. Go fluff a pillow then turn off the lights and take a shot with the flash. Ooooooooo.... ghosts everywhere!!!
