This happened in early June. It was the night of my boyfriend’s senior ball, and he was spending the night at my house afterward. We went up to my room and when I turned my light on, it seemed to be about ten times brighter than it normally is, almost blinding. Now, I doubt this was anything supernatural, but I feel it’s worth mentioning. About fifteen minutes later, it blew out and I had just changed it no less than three days beforehand.
It started getting weird an hour or so later. We were just sitting in the dark talking when my boyfriend got quiet. After a minute he said, “I feel like something’s in here.”
The room did feel a little heavy, but we ignored it for a few minutes, until he demanded that I give him my camera. He took at least thirty pictures of my bedroom and all of them had orbs in them. Not just two or three, it was more like thirty or forty, the biggest and brightest ones were right over the bed.
The next night, he told me to take pictures and absolutely nothing was there. So from then on, every time he’s spent the night we take pictures, and sure enough there will be orbs all over the room.
Now I’ll often be with him and my ears will start ringing, without telling him that my ears are ringing he’ll mention that he can hear people talking, or ask if I said his name. One more thing that I need to add is something that didn’t start until just recently.
He’s often been seeing things. Not figures or shadows. He describes them as “strings of energy.” I don’t know if this means anything to anyone reading this, but if anyone knows what this could be, please let me know.

ive never heard of so many orbs following one person
Around the time that digital cameras became more common, a puzzling photographic phenomenon began to become more common place. We have termed this particular phenomena “orbs”.
The origins of these so-called “orbs” depends largely on whom you ask, as there are two basic schools of thought on the matter that range from natural causes to the paranormal.
A wave of photographic “proof” of the supernatural included these ghostly transparent orbs, especially from pictures taken at previously suspected “haunted” locations such as cemeteries. Since most orbs appear to be illuminated with a supernatural light not visible to the human eye, some involved in paranormal investigation believed these hovering lights to be spiritual energy or even ghostly entities. For a species that entertains theory of an afterlife, these round, bright and sometimes colorful spheres became evidence of a question humans have not yet been able to answer.
Since these mysterious orbs were much less frequent when these same supposedly haunted locations were photographed on 35mm film, a natural skepticism arose with the introduction of these new digital ghostly photos. One explanation for these orbs was a simple matter of dust, moisture or the reflection of light, which could very well make these “orbs” vary in intensity of brightness. These more natural cause answers to the mystery of “orbs” have been dismissed by those who trust that the orbs represent something paranormal and/or supernatural, and claim there was no dust or moisture in the air or light in the area to be reflected when the photo was taken.
Another popular explanation for the mysterious orbs are simply bugs that have been captured on film. This, too, has been rejected out right by those who believe the orbs to be spiritual in nature because of the perfectly round form of the orb. According to the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP), which provides scientific education regarding anomalous phenomena, orbs that appear on photographs are actually “circles of confusion” no matter what the shape of the actual object. This is a photographic term that refers to an out of focus or blurry highlight in the photo, reflecting an object that was around or near the lens when the photograph was taken.

I lived in a haunted house and got pictures of orbs. The place was haunted pretty bad. It got so bad I had to move out.
