kummitama

Kummitama is a Japanese term that translates to "ghost ball" or "spirit ball." It refers to a mysterious luminous sphere or orb of light that is often captured in photographs and videos, particularly in supposedly haunted locations or during paranormal investigations. These phenomena are frequently associated with unexplained occurrences and are believed by some to be manifestations of spirits, ghosts, or other supernatural entities.

The appearance of kummitama can vary, ranging from small, faint glows to larger, more distinct orbs. They are often described as being white, blue, or sometimes even colored. While some proponents of the paranormal interpret these orbs as evidence of supernatural activity, skeptics offer alternative explanations. These commonly include reflections from light sources, dust particles or insects illuminated by a flash, moisture in the air, or artifacts of the camera and lens.

The debate surrounding kummitama continues, with believers seeing them as tangible evidence of the afterlife and skeptics attributing them to natural or technological causes. Regardless of interpretation, the image of the luminous orb has become a widely recognized symbol within popular culture and the paranormal community.
