Please note: We are no longer accepting photos of orbs, mists, ecto, or vortex/vortices. For more information, please read the information below...
Many people submit photos to us to either show us their evidence or ask for an analysis of what the photo might be.
We thank everyone for doing this and appreciate your support.
A couple of rules, unfortunately, have to be put into place due to the large amount of photos we do get in every week...
First of all, we can only (at the moment) accept your photo digitally... If your image was taken with a "film" camera, we do ask that you try to get access to a scanner and send it to us as an attachment. If our photography team would like to see an original print or the negatives, they will contact you to arrange shipping and returning the photos after they have had a look. These people can be reached at
Please ensure the image is either in JPEG (.jpg) or GIF (.gif) format and the images are each less than 100 kilobytes in size. (Our mailbox is often full due to submissions in "Bitmap" or other formats that are extremely large. Again, if a more detailed image is required, our photography people will contact you for help.
The photo will remain in YOUR ownership and if you do not wish us to publish it online, we will not. If you do give us permission, the photograph is still in your ownership, but we assume the ability to reproduce the photo in our publications and those we have volunteered or agreed to work with, but you may give out, exchange, or otherwise do with YOUR photo what you wish... We just hold the right to use our copy as need be.
Also, if so desired, we will NOT publish or give out your name, address, e-mail address, or any other information to anyone if you wish to remain anonymous. Of course, if you wish any credit for the photo, you must also let us know this as well.
If the photo you're submitting is of an "orb", "mist", or "vortex", we ask that you read the note below... If it is not, please skip this section...

Problem – White Spots
When taking pictures with my flash, whitish round dots appear in various parts of the image.
Cause
There could be dust particles floating in the air. When you use the flash, the light from the flash reflects off the dust particles and is sometimes captured in your shot, which results in blurry white spots.
Solution
Try setting your ISO higher as well as make the surroundings as bright as possible so that you can shoot without using the flash. You can also try to take the picture in a less dusty location. Otherwise, try a Fujifilm camera with Real Photo Technology – designed especially for faster shutter speeds that help stop motion in order to capture the kind of picture you want.
