HI Snowkissed, Roslin Glen the area that my orb image was captured is supposed to be a layline area,the whole place is rather creepy, a wooded valley overlooked by the imposing Roslin Chapel and the castle its quite a mystical place associated with the Knights Templer and Holy Grail.The castle is haunted as is the nearby site of the Battle Of Roslin.Where the image was taken is also very close to the ruins of a old gunpowder factory which provided explosives for the two world wars.During WWI a spark from a train on a nearby railway line caused part of the factory to blow up claiming several lives. Regards Les.

HI Snowkissed, Sorry your right Laylines and fault lines are differant its just that I couldent comment on faultlines possibly causing ghosts because Ive never heard of a supposed link before!However faultlines are thought to cause aerial lights and glows in the atmosphere called Earthlights which can sometimes precede earth tremours which I believe happened in Wales a couple of times in the mid 70's.Glowing Earthlights are also associated with the Peak district of England. Regards Les.

HI There, 9pm, Clear calm and frosty.Temp -0.5C,RH 87%,Wind None,Cloudcover None,pressure 1017mbs rising. Regards Les.

HI OON, And a torch with it getting dark in the afternoons! Regards Les.

HI OON, Nice image it makes me want to don my walking boots and getting up there. Regards Les.

HI Pottyprof, It was a coincedence that I mentioned the Stocksbridge case I dident notice your profile saying your from there.Its good to speak with someone that knows the area.If you know any snippits about the case thats not been mentioned in books or the internet so far..... Regards Les.

HI Pottyprof, Yes, there is a supposed links between outdoor ghosts and laylines, theory is that the Stocksbridge bypass near Sheffield built in the 1980's disturbed a layline which released a number of phantoms witnessed by a number of people including night watchman and police constables.In fact one of the ghosts(a monk)actually attacked the police patrol car! Ghosts in most cases dont act like mere images they seem to be aware of the witnesses even in rare cases comunicating or trying to comunicate with the onlooker. Regards Les.

HI Pottyprof, Im familiar with the theory,but it dosent explain ghosts like phantom hitchickers who actually get into peoples cars and in one case in South Africa onto someones moterbike and travel some distance before suddenly disappearing.There are also hundreds of cases of phantom stone throwers ect.There are too many differant types of ghosts for the theory to hold water in many many cases. Regards Les.

HI All, 6pm, It was hardly dark when the ground frost appeared from my site.Temp 0.4C,RH 85%,Wind None,Cloudcover None,Pressure 1015mbs rising. Regards Les.

HI Pottyprof, There are countless times throughout the World of reoccuring ghosts seen by unconnected witnesses that dont even know of any previous sightings of the same ghost.The vast majority of ghost sightings follow certain rules which are remarkably similar throughout the World and differant cultures.I dont know whats going on but something is.I have problems with ghosts being spirits howevedr as their are wearing clothes and I know of no human ghost ever been seen naked.Also there are countless accounts of inanimate ghosts including aircraft,cars,lorries,houses,hedges and even a ghostly hole in the ground! Regards Les.

HI Snowkissed, Im having trouble sending you the promised orb images(full image and enlargement),Ill keep trying but if you dont recieve them in the next day or so contact me with a forewarding address and Ill send you prints. Regards Les.

HI There, NOON;Sunny and calm,Temp 4.9C,RH 82%,Wind None,Cloudcover None,Pressure 1010mbs rising. Regards Les.

HI Snowkissed, I like many thought most orbs were faults in the negative (although that doesnt explain why they can also apprear on video film)and with the onset of digital that they would dissapear with film,but if anything digital seems to show more orbs.I dont think these orbs are spirits but I find them interesting all the same.In general though I have a very open mind about ghosts and other paranormal phenonoma,Im a scientific person but there is a great deal of eveidence to support the exsistance of ghosts,in fact their a very commen occurance much more than most people realise.It would be great if the scientific community would study ghosts but of course most scientists are too frightened of ridicule. Regards Les.

HI There, Partly cloudy,temp 2.3C,RH 94%,Wind 5.4mph 4/8cloudcover,pressure 986mbs rising slowly. Regards Les.

HI All, Clear overnight with ground frost, cloudy by day with outbreaks of rain in the afternoon.Temps,Max 7.2C,Min 0.7C.Rainfall 4.2mm,Wind Max 18.2mph,Pressure,Max 998mbs,Min 986mbs. Regards Les.

HI Snowkissed, After 30 years of film and darkroom photography I never came across a single orb but within a year of going digital in 2005 I captured one.I was photographing my neices dogs,she was upset that one of here dogs died recently so could it be the spirit of the dead dog or just a de-focused water droplet from the nearby river? This is a enlargement of the Orb section of the photograph,I hope it comes out OK. Regards Les. PS The image wont upload into the board why are some forums dead easy to submit images and others bloody difficult? Of course being on steam driven dialup that keeps disconnecting doesnt help!If your interested in the image Ill be pleased to Email it to you.

HI All, Going back to the typo error at the begining of this thread I have a old 1960' Shortland aneroid that actually goes down 870millibars .Does anyone know the lowest ever pressure in Britain the figure 912mbs seems to spring to mind from a old Guinness Book Of Records from years ago but Im not sure(it could of been 922mbs ).You cant check records like that these days from GBOR's its too full of sport. Regards Les.

HI Shuggee, I dident know there was a abattoir in Dalkeith,but being a vegetarian I dont take interest in such things .I thought I saw a similar more extensive glow the night before while walking the dogs the Moon just now is making dark sky observation very difficult.Thanks for confirming that I'm seeing things! Regards Les.

HI Steve, I only observe the Sun in white light but I must admit Ive not bothered looking for a while now(apart from occassionally glances with filtered binoculars),you can only tell yourself that a blank Sun is in itself interesting for so long! Regards Les.

HI CR, Thanks for the reply,I have seen a few displays over the years at my site in Midlothian a couple quite bright and colourful,but that was before digital cameras.If their difficult to image lets hope we get plenty of practice soon . Regards and clear auroral skies Les.

HI There, At around 20:00 I saw a couple of greenish patches low in the NW sky that could of been Auroral activity.Its difficult because of the full Moon just now.I tried a couple of 15 second images of the area to see if the camera could bring any colour out.Veiwing with the camera screen only I think I can detect a reddish tinge in there but nothing conclusive. Regards Les
