Ecto, or something? I dunno

I took this picture at Tinkers Creek Cemetery.

It was September 1, at about 9:00 p.m.

Nobody was smoking at the time, and nobody was even really that close to me.

I see what some consider as a orb. I myself don't like orbs. I would personally say it looks like dust orb. But don't let what we say about your picture stop you. I took many orb pictures myself before. Everyone starts someplace..

Read an article one of our members did on orbs. You may find it interesting.

This doesn't mean that it's not possible that some could be caused by something spiritual.

Jacob,
Here is the weather data for Cuyahoga falls, OH (44221 zip code) at 9:12 PM on September 01, 2007:

Temperature: 65.7 °F
Dewpoint: 43.0 °F
Humidity: 42%
Precipitation: 0.00in
Wind: Calm

The reason this weather data is important is because all types of fog forms when the relative humidity reaches 100% and the air temperature drops below the dewpoint, pushing it lower by forcing the water vapor to condense. Fog can form suddenly, and can dissipate just as rapidly, depending on what side of the dewpoint the temperature is on.

Based on the weather data for the time this photo was taken, we can easily rule out the possibility of fog. However, keep in mind that breath can show up in photos anytime temperatures are 68° or lower.

So, is this ecto? If the temperature would have been 70° - 75°, I would probably say, HELL YEAH! It still could be, but since the temperature was only 65° - 66°, it would be impossible to rule out the possibility of breath. Also, are you sure no one was smoking?

Thanks for sharing!

Sudden drop or raise of temp will cause fog. If day was warm then night was cooler you will get moisture in the air, no matter what dewpoint is.

I really don't think there is any way to prove that ecto is ecto when comes to weather, as there are to many things that can cause it.
