The common misconception is that ghosts always appear as full manifestations, this is also fueled by Hollywood. Rarely have total manifestations been photographed by ghost hunters. The common way that ghosts appear on film is orbs (glowing round forms of light) Sphere’s (long forms of angular light) and Vortex (glowing forms of light looking like a tornado)and the last as Mist (looking like fog patch). The theories are that ghosts are energy and that with these are often detected as energy forms..balls of light, mist, etc…..also it is said that sometimes when they appear as this it is right before they will manifest themselves…true or not, this is usually the way that ghosts appear on film.
