Orbs, dust particles, insects or spirit energy?

If you watch Ghost Hunters, like many of us have, you will know that the team members discount most, if not all orbs as being dust when they are present in a photograph or on film. In many instances orbs may very well be dust, insects or a dirty camera lens, and on some occasions that which has been labeled "dust" may in fact be an orb. The TAPS (Trans Atlantic Paranormal Society) members doubt it. The general consensus of many paranormal investigators is that orbs are not paranormal in nature but an occurring issue relating to the conditions the photos are taken under. Many are simply insects, water droplets, and specks of matter on camera lenses.
Should one consider other factors? Perhaps there should be a consideration given to certain circumstances involving orbs. Many argue that if orbs are simply dust, why don't they show up in every photograph? Dust is everywhere and presumably should show up in every photo, yet the odds of a photographer ever capturing an orb in a photo are pretty rare. Why is this? Why do orbs rarely present themselves in photos that are taken in homes that have no apparent paranormal activity, but are seen regularly in homes that do claim to have paranormal activity? Most are seen on these paranormal shows on television. Orbs that are discounted are taken in homes where the investigators acknowledge there is paranormal activity, yet the investigators of Ghost Hunters and others in the field ask you to discount that, and at the same time expect you to believe them when they declare a home "haunted".

The Paranormal show Ghost Adventurers gives more validity to orbs and offer explanations for why orbs should be considered as a paranormal phenomenon. The Ghost Adventurer shows sometimes overly dramatic presentation of paranormal activity, though entertaining, sometimes can come across as less than legitimate comparatively speaking. The the limited involvement of a huge camera crew and the use of gadgets a plenty make for an interesting hour of television, all the same. For those who believe, no proof is necessary, for those who do not, no proof is enough. In the final analysis, the believability of the paranormal investigators usually determines whether the evidence gathered is accepted or not.
