John Pickering and Katie Hall

From Orbs to Light Beings From Beyond.

Evening Talk to SSPR at the University of Glasgow

Lecture takes place on: Thursday 2nd Sept 2010
Beyond Photography by Katie Hall & John Pickering was the first book in the world to photographically document one couples personal encounters with orbs and other paranormal light phenomenon. Although neither Katie nor John were aware of it at the time, they had photographed some of the most astounding images ever taken of this phenomenon, many of which they will be sharing with us. John has this to say about their forth-coming presentation: "We had no preconceptions about this phenomenon, but since the publication of our book, a whole new world of "orbology" has mushroomed into being. Orbs have caught the imagination of people all over the world and thousands are now photographing these strange circles of light. Whatever we may think about them, orbs are an undeniable phenomenon! Essentially all experience of Reality is subjectively perceived and interpreted and this is particularly so in the case of paranormal phenomena. But if orbs really are paranormal, how is it possible to photograph them? What is the truth about orbs and other extraordinary light phenomenon now being photographed by all kinds of people with all kinds of cameras? Today there are all sorts of beliefs about orbs and in our presentation we shall be examining key questions concerning orbs, looking deeper into the nature of the phenomenon and giving a personal perspective as to what orbs, as part of an interconnected range of phenomena, mean to us as individuals."
