Smithdown
Road Cemetery |
|
|
|
The
cemetery in Smithdown Road, Liverpool, is adjacent to what
was once a workhouse for the poor.
Built in 1859 the workhouse
later became known as Smithdown Road Institution then eventually
Sefton General Hospital.
The hospital has since
gone to be replaced by a branch of a well known chain of supermarkets.

|
The
common practice of the day was for the dead from the workhouse
to be buried in the cheapest of coffins and usually in an
unmarked grave. Several coffins may also have been placed
in the same grave. |

In
this set of photographs we can clearly see some very bright
orbs amongst a large number of other orbs that are not so
brightly illuminated. |
|
|
|
This
cemetery, adjacent to where the old workhouse once stood is
still in use today. These photographs virtually snap shots
taken from the roadside. Once night I might take a stroll
through the cemetery and who knows what I may photograph. |

I feel that this
could well be one of the last pages containing photographs
of orbs. I am reasonably satisfied that they are not a fault
in my camera or a defect in the lens.
In the very many photographs
I have taken during my visits to various locations, the photographs
from each location have been within the same time frame and
there are far more photographs that do not contain orbs than
those that do.
This leads me to conclude
that these orbs are indeed a phenomenon that is not reliant
on certain conditions and cannot be anticipated in any way.
They appear quite randomly and are therefore independent of
any set of circumstances I can perceive. |

Allerton
Cemetery is relatively modern and is currently the main cemetery
for the south side of the city. |
|
|
|
Once again
this cemetery is locked up at night but the photographs taken
from the gates clearly show some very bright and large orbs.
|
|
|
This sequence of photographs taken
within a few seconds of each other and of practically the
same spot demonstrate how orbs seem to have the ability
to appear and disappear within a very short space of time.
