Pastor spooked by ‘ghostly orbs’ that flew around his home for hours
A pastor was left spooked by ghostly orbs that flew around his home for hours and split into different shapes. Monzell Ford, a preacher from Daytona Beach in Florida, was alerted to a single mysterious shape after it set off his living room surveillance camera’s motion detector earlier this month.
Footage shared by Ford showed the large, disc-like shape floating around in his front room – with the pastor convinced it was of supernatural origin. He said: ‘This orb, this imagery is hovering in my living room.
‘That’s when I’m like, “Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Something’s going on here. Something’s going on here.”‘ Ford was himself skeptical of the orb, but grew more spooked on realizing the apparition had not come from a reflection or flashlight, and that it appeared too big to be a speck of dust.
The pastor, who lives alone, walked into his living room while the orb was floating around, but says he could only see it on his phone screen and not in person, further adding to the air of mystery. At one point it was seen splitting into at least three separate shapes.
Ford, who also works as a police chaplain, told WESH: ‘If it’s physical I can stand it. I can challenge it. I can approach it. I can deal with it. We’re talking about things floating and disappearing.
‘If I know what something is, I’m okay, but it’s the unknown thing that throws me off.’ The pastor and his friends have enjoyed multiple ‘spirited’ debates about what the orb could be, but have not come to any firm conclusion.
Ford says he was not troubled by its appearance, and has no plans to move out of his home. Paranormal fans claim orbs are ‘ghost lights’ that indicate the presence of paranormal activity.
But skeptics say they are usually just particles of dust floating in the air that appear out of focus when captured by a camera lens.
