Was Chris Snyder at his own funeral?
Orbs are believed (by many) to be ghosts in the form of balls of light. They are life forms that travel in groups and are believed to be the human soul or life force of those that once inhabited a physical body here on earth. It is said that they are those spirits that have willingly stayed behind because they feel bound to their previous life or previous location for whatever reason. Because of this obsession they tend to become similar to a psychotic human beings. It should be said that the majority of us when we die proceed gladly and willingly to the next level of existence after saying our quiet good-byes, which means we're off to the spirit world. Then again, as stated, a select few elect to stay behind because of a refusal to move on. Apparently the longer they stay behind, the harder it is to find their way to the next level, which again, is the spirit world.
Ghostly orbs are the most photographed anomalies caught on film by ghost hunters and are quite photogenic (when they want to be). They can be completely transparent or display themselves in a bright solid form. It is not hard to capture them on film in their circular form. It is theorized that ghosts prefer the form of an Orb (ball of light) because it takes less energy thus being the mode of choice among the ghosts. The consensus is that small orbs take up the least amount of energy and apparitions and other fuller shapes take up the most.
Ghosts are normally harmless for the most part and have relatively no desire to bring harm to anyone nor do they have much of an awareness to act as such.
Now that we have the education of Orbs out of the way, let me present a picture I took at Chris's funeral just before the casket was brought into the church. It was taken with a digital camera without the use of its flash. When I downloaded the picture to my computer it was dark and unusable in its present state. I imported the picture into Photoshop and lightened the image using various techniques and that is what is displayed below.
In
the aisle you will notice a small ball of light that I cannot explain. The
picture is presented as I took it except for the lightening that was
needed to make the picture usable.
Can this be a ghostly orb that represents Chris's presence at his funeral? Under closer inspection it looks like a transparent billiard ball but I don't see any pool tables in this church !!! |
Due to the tragic nature of this accident and the suddenness that it took a life without warning, I believe that Chris did not want to leave yet. He was probably confused and unbelieving that he had left his worldly body in a split second. Whether he is still with us or has moved on finally, we are all glad that he was at the church to witness the support from his many friends and family.
What do you think? I will leave it up to you to decide, but it looks rather convincing to me.
