WHAT IS A VORTEX?

---

A common ghostly phenomenon is the vortex. These are just as common as orbs. I believe that vortices may be portals between dimensions through which ghosts travel. Some theories about vortices are:

1.They could be portals from dimension to dimension, which is the theory I go with. This is probably the most well accepted theory.

2.Another theory is that a vortex may be orbs in motion. Maybe that's why they sometimes seems look like orbs forming a contrail, but they could be just traveling through the vortex. The orb theory could also explain why the vortex always seems to be bending in different directions.

3.Another theory that most skeptics go by is that the vortex could just be a camera strap.I viewed some pics in which the camera strap got in the way of the lens and it could look pretty convincing to the untrained eye. I never use a camera with a strap, but if you do you should keep it out of the way of the lens.
This does not explain all the strange pictures of transparent vortexes and the orbs moving through them. Most ghost hunters can explain camera straps away the instant they see them.

4. I have been able to capture several vortices on film. There are a few different types:

Ribbons-Have bands that run long-ways through the vortex. Can be white or bluish in color.
Rods-Usually look like long, twisted, and stretched neon lights. I have taken photos of red, white, blue, and yellow ones.
Orb tunnels-These seem to be portals or pathways through which orbs travel. Usually white in color, but can be blue.
Orbs-These seem to be made up of orbs, looking like they are hooked onto eachother like a chain. Usually white in color.
