Spirits and Vegas go hand in hand...

Back in September I had the amazing opportunity to stay in the Venetian in Las Vegas, which stands where the old Sands casino stood. I remember watching an episode of Ghost Adventures s year or so ago and they investigated Madame Tussauds' wax museum, which is reported haunted by those who died in the fire when the Sands burned down. In all honesty it was a very dull episode with only one or two EVP's. When I went, however, my opinion was changed. In one of my pictures (of the Brittany Spears wax model, thanks for asking) there is the brightest orb I've ever seen up to this point! I kow that orbs are greatly debated among paranormal experts; some believe that they are only dust or moisture reflecting light from the camera's flash, some think that and round anomaly in a photo is a spirit orb. I tend to fall between these two extremes. I believe the majority of "orb" photos can be explained away, but there are instances where they are paranormal. I read that if the orb looks "3D" or has it's own space in the photo and it imitits it's own light its paranormal. This makes sense to me. Anyway, back to my photo, one day I will figure out how to post pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. But the crazy thing is that this picture is not the only one that has orbs. There were several in the actual hotel room. And ad bright as the orb by Brittany was, one in the room was ten times brighter! And it looks like I caught it in motion. I must admit I wasn't entirely surprised to see orbs in the room, I often felt like someone was watching me, and once or twice thought I saw the outline of someone standing in the entry way. Looking back and seeing as how it was a fmpamilh vacation, I had a thought that I know is crazy. I couldn't help but wonder if these orbs could be my late father. The vacation was one that he so would have enjoyed and I've felt him with me before. Also I never felt uneasy, even when I thought I felt someone watching me. It's a strange and horrible thought, but I'd be lying if I pretended the thought hadn't crossed my mind.
