SooToday.com has received the following e-mail and photo shown from loyal reader Joe Mattalo who wonders what he saw in Garden River over the weekend:
************************* Hello Dave: As we were out on the reserve this past Saturday visiting Robin Lee and having a fire, myself and Penny Morrison saw a strange light that we thought nothing of.
It was around 11:30 p.m. when Penny snapped a picture of our Robin.
When she downloaded the picture we saw what I was told an orb in the frame.
I am the biggest non-believer of this sort of hocus-pocus but I saw this with my own eyes.
My friend is native and says there are many spirits around the rez.
I am beside myself to have witnessed this "thing" but am skeptical.
Penny took the shot through the smoke.
I am really beside myself because as we were leaving I saw this thing cross the road.
I thought it was a headlight from a motorcycle that went off the road into the bush.
I could not find the bike.
When she uploaded them she called me and told me about the ball.
I have been reading and some people say it's a camera glitch.
Other think it's an orb.
I don't believe in spirits or ghosts but I did see it with my own eyes.
There has to be some scientific explanation. I thought we could share this with your reader and see if there are more sightings of these orbs.
