Blink and miss them

I have always discounted the little orbs caught on film by myself and others as a digital glitch. Their arrival seems to coincide with the new manner in which we now photograph our surrounds, digital cameras. But, I saw one a few weeks ago without the aid of a camera, via the naked eye. I have found this highly disturbing.
It's bothering me immensely, actually. I am not given to hallucinations, even with the assistance of hallucinogenics, I didn't always get "visuals". And I happened to see, with frontal vision, a small, tightly focused, and high-speed travelling little orb whose source could not be directly traced to an outside (or inside) origin.
It only appears in my son's bedroom, which has a thick black-out blanket tacked tightly around the windows, so there's no way it was coming in through the window. And anyway, the speed that it moves is not exactly of this world. I don't know of anything that can move that rapidly. So....what the hell can it, they, be? I don't know if it's one or many, every time I have seen it on film dancing around the same room where it appeared before me, it looks the same. I really don't like the fact that it's in little man's bedroom, either.
Why just in there? What's it hanging around him for?
(my mind is plagued by having seen Poltergeist at waaay too tender an age, even for my adult comfort.) That film made me physically ill when I saw it at the age of nine. I was never the same after that. I became a spooky little girl, was dressing in all black, (before it was all the rage to do so) by the time I was twelve. It definitely turned my mind towards the unexplained, the dark, the frightening.
And even as the older, but not necessarily totally "grown-up" me, whatever that is supposed to mean, I'm more than a little bit rattled by the fact I've seen this...(phenomenon?)
Everyone who lives in this house has seen it, but I'm the only one who has seen it off camera. Wee Man doesn't find it anymore odd than he finds other brand new stimuli as he encounters things for the first time. That is so cool to contemplate. Not being tainted with uncertainty or any pre-conceived notions. I wish I had a clear mind like that. I have to admit, I wasn't immediately afraid when I saw it. I was more inclined to find where it had originated from, and only got concerned after not being able to find any logical explanation for it. I had to extrapolate on "logical", all the way out into "totally illogical". That's not really my territory any more. Almost everything is rendered in the mundane for me now. I don't come across many wondrous things. I was just reviewing some more short video clips taken by myself and the Baby Man and he has captured it a lot. All in the same room. None of his other recordings in other rooms have it.
This is wringing my little brain out like a wet flannel.
I am not really even comfortable admitting I think it's something "odd", but, I've got nothing to go on in the science department.
I'm going to have to do some research.
I know why I had to see this. I have unmercifully taken the piss out of people who claimed these images on their still shots and videos were of some other worldly foundations. I am always visited by afflictions I make fun of other people for. Never fails. So, I don't make fun of things anymore. I can be a cruel bitch when I run rampant, unchecked. I have to reel it in. I have come to realise my energy is infectious and now carry a certain sense of responsibility not to be heavy around other people. Most people just aren't equipped to deal with the degree of melancholia that I somehow still thrive under.
I'm upside down and backwards, simultaneously both extremes...just weird, really. And I'm okay with that. But I'm really more normal than I ever imagine myself to be. I pale in comparison to the mentally disturbed weird that many people are these days.
Anyway, this isn't coming from me. I am not the only one who's seen it, so it's really there. Therefore, it has nothing to do with me. I just happened to witness it and now I am trying to figure out what "it" is.
Any assertions you lot have about this would be greatly appreciated.
I have not lost my mind.
Have I?
That's rhetorical, before any budding Freuds on here mistake it for an invitation to analysis! :lbf:

Hi Justin,
Heeey! It's your 1 yr anniversary of joining solo!!
I've been around since 2004, but always lost my logins due to long periods of not using them!
Thanks for breaking the silence, it was getting loud!
I struggled to put this out here, it just seems a bit hokey for a girl of science to subscribe to, BUT....
There's nothing hokey about something that ACTUALLY happened, is there?
Every time I go in that room to have a lie down, I announce upon entry that I am not in the mood to see anything from other dimensions. And I haven't seen anything else, but I also don't look at the spot where I saw it any more.
When that happened, I had been using binaural beats (sound waves at specific frequencies to induce certain states of consciousness) to adjust my brainwave frequency to Theta (sleep). It works amazingly well. It was on a playlist though, and there were loads of other frequencies in there as well. I have been wondering, because I have read since I've been researching this that a lot of people who see these first hand also use meditation. That is the mindful equivalent to binaural beats. I cheat and get to a meditative brainwave pattern quickly. I can't clear my mind long enough to achieve it otherwise.
I have quit the brainwave tweaking.
I'm not prepared to walk the other side right now. This is the sort of thing I would have cacked meself over as a girl. (The Northwest of England's version of shitting one's self) It would have played right into spooky chick's methodology. Sucks that I'm faced with a possible foray into the Unknown, and I'm closing the door.
However, I will say that just because science hasn't gotten round to quantifying certain aspects of the natural world doesn't mean it won't eventually do so. Yesterday's witch craft is today's medicine. So it would prove very interesting indeed if one day we had real estate listings reflecting the spectral inhabitants of a prospective property!!
Hey, maybe that's something I could start! I'll binaural beat a path to become the first ghostly real estate agent! LOL!
I have also been smelling cherry pipe tobacco in the basement.
My husband said he did as well. I mentioned it yesterday and he piped up and said, "I smelled that the other day when I was doing laundry and thought it was coming from your clothes, but it does smell like cherry pipe tobacco!"
I have always heard that residents of haunted houses experienced unexplained smells. Eerie.
You're all keen! I don't know why it makes me feel unsettled. I think it's just because my children, I don't want any variables "floating" about. Due to some early indoctrination, no, that's not true, I can't blame Christianity this time. (sigh)
This is down to my reading and viewing habits as a youngster. I've noided myself out about this sort of thing. I would love to be able to just embrace it, but it does spin me out a bit.
We'll have to wait and see what unfolds, or if me closing my mind to it has any further effect on stemming the flow of energy. This really seems ignorant, to shut my mind. I felt really peaceful when I was looking at it. Like finding a fairy in the woods...OHH, oh wow! I wonder if that's where the legend comes from!? Maybe people were just seeing orbs! Hah.
Right. I'm offski. Thanks again, from the bottom of my speeding heart, for taking the time to reply to my plea for more info.
I am certain this will crop up again in my writing.
