This is a bit strange, isn’t it?

I’m not sure I’m in the right place for my post.

I’m not a “believer”. I don’t see ghosts. I’m non- religious. Non superstitious. Very much like to see the “there’s a reasonable explanation” side of an argument. And yet, something odd happened.

My sister and I FaceTime each other because we live at some distance from and of course, Covid restrictions for the past 14 months+. She’s quite spiritual and sees “things” and I tease her and say she needs her eyes testing etc etc. Recently, maybe the last month or so whilst Facetime-ing she’s said “oooh, I can see lovely colourful orbs floating all around you, on the screen!” She says the colours are sparkly and amazing. I said she needed to see a dr, maybe there was something wrong with her. Then, last week, a friend of mine and I were talking on Zoom and she all of a sudden said…”Wow! You’ve got floaty sparkly balls all around you, Hera! What is it?” I’ve no idea what they’re talking about. I can’t see anything on the screen. It’s never happened before. The lighting in our home is the same. I just laughed and said “perhaps you need a blood pressure check, if you’re seeing floating things?” But, it’s weird isn’t it?

Anyone have anything they can offer me on this strange occurrence?

Silly filter?

Wait to see if it happens if you see someone in person. On screen it could be a number of things, so not reliable.

You need a new camera?

Trick of the light?

It won't be supernatural.

Do you have lamp shining towards you as when dust catches it can look like colorful orbs... I would ask them to take a screen shot

I would think you've got some sort of filter accidentally activated. Like the lawyer who looked like a kitten!

More dusting 😂 Quite possibly!

Sounds like your camera lens needs cleaning . Maybe give it a clean and then FaceTime in a different area to see if it’s the light.

I’ve heard people talk about orbs but I thought that you could only see them after a photo has been taken and developed and not whilst you were taking the photo.
