Debunking Orbs in 30 Minutes. It’s easy to do, since if your “orb” was seen only through a camera lens, it wasn’t a ghost

Welcome to our podcast, where we take deep dives looking at various topics through a Paranormal Lens.

On this Monday Bonus episode: we explain why if your "orb" evidence was seen only through a camera lens, it's nothing strange and likely caused by lens flares or backscattering.

Audio of this episode was previously released in May on our old RSS Feed. The video version (with the complete slideshow) is posted on YouTube for the first time.
