Orbs, those floating balls of light, have flickered through time like elusive fireflies in the dark.

As far back as ancient folklore, they've been whispered about in Celtic myths from Ireland, where they were often seen as the playful manifestations of fairies—trickster spirits darting through misty glens and ancient stone circles.

Fast forward to the 19th century, and orbs began appearing in spiritualist séances, captured in early photographs as "spirit orbs"—believed to be the essences of departed loved ones hovering near the living.

The 20th century brought a cosmic twist: with the rise of UFO sightings post-World War II, orbs were reimagined as extraterrestrial probes, zipping across night skies in formations that defied earthly physics. From Roswell's deserts to rural English countryside, witnesses reported silent, pulsating lights that vanished in an instant.

Even today, in our digital age, trail cams and smartphone videos capture these anomalies, fueling debates among paranormal investigators, ufologists, and scientists.

Today’s episode is a listener special, drawn from three amazing emails that landed in our inbox.

Each one features a different kind of orb, united only by their spine-tingling mystery.

So join Gary & GoldieAnn as we settle Within the Mist to explore these tales of Listener Stories of mysterious orbs.
