Theories On Vortexes & Ectoplasm

By
Christopher Bohar





The most common paranormal phenomenon encountered are usually Vortexes and Ectoplasm. For the most part they are almost as common as orbs. As with orbs there are also theories surrounding both phenomenon. One theory regarding vortexes, and the one I subscribe to, is that they are a portal between dimensions in which spirits may incorporate in possible "astral travel", whether it be from their world to ours or between sub-dimensions that may exist in the Hereafter. As for ectoplasm I belive it is un-concentrated spirit energy that is disapated and which can form into orbs as well (photographically speaking this ectoplasm forming into consdensed orbs has been documented). Both are commonly captured on film and video! Listed below are additional theories on both topics. Vortexes first, then ectoplasm.

Here are additional theories on vortexes-

1.)Vortexes could very well be portals from dimension to dimension,which is the theory I go with. This is probably the most well excepted theory at the time of this writing.

2.)Another theory is that a vortex may be of an orb or orbs in motion. Maybe that's why it sometimes seems to look like that there are orbs forming a contrail in photographs but they could be just traveling through the vortex, either way both are plausible theories. The orb theorie could also explain why the vortex always seems to be bending in different directions.

3.)This is another cheap theory that most skeptics go by is that the vortex could just be a camera strap. I viewed some pics in which the camera strap got in the way of the lens and it looks pretty convincing to the untrained eye. I rarely use cameras with a strap and if you do you should keep it out of the way of the lens.Usually when the vortex seems twisting or seems to look fake its probably a strap. This does not explain all the strange pictures of transparent vortexes and the orbs moving through them, though!Most ghost hunters can explain camera straps away the instant they see them!For example-if the "vortex" is too dark, has a uniform pattern like stitching, or is bent in such a way to suggest a camera strap. If you suspect you may have a camera strap and not a legitimate vortex then look for what I have mentioned and you can probably tell that which is legitimate from that which is merely a camera strap.The best way to avoid this is to simply remove the camera strap from your camera/s as I do or at least keep is away from the lens. You would be surprised how many reputable paranormal websites contain "concrete evidence" of vortexes that look remarkably similar to a Minolta camera strap. I don't recall real vortexes having a major brand name on them unless they're into marketing now. In any case, just use common sense!


Pretty Interesting Stuff!!!

Now that sounds really scary yet strangely interesting. I'm not exactly sure of what it means and I'm not sure I would like to find out where it might take you. But I bet it would be interesting to see one. :P

Hey L J,
I don't know much about portals as i haven't had any experiences with them that i know of !

I have heard that you can recognize areas where they exist because of clues like "bent or warped" trees, bare spots or patches on the ground, lack of wildlife in an area etc.
Sometimes voices have been heard in these areas.

This is all hearsay on my part though.

What does everyone else think?

I don't know much about vortexes either, but I would love more info on them,... are they the same thing as maybe a rip in a certain area of the earths biosphere or something like that?? How do we know they exist?? How do we know they DON'T??? Has any one in the science field proven they do or don't?? I dunno..... :)
I would love to find out more about this subject tho,.. Wonder if maybe a Vortex is anything like in the movie and book The Langoleirs?? (Stephen King book turned into a movie)

Hey LadyD,

Do you have any of the other strange events such as the lack of wildlife or bare spots or strange voices to go with the misshapen trees there?
