Ghostly Energy Orbs or Near-Camera Reflections?

This is one of the night photographs I took at Union Cemetery in Easton, CT last night. While taking them, these “orbs” appeared in most of the pictures, and I got excited and scared, thinking I was photographing ghostly energy. However, when I got home, I took two test pictures in my driveway, and one also had “orbs” in it. Research on the internet suggests these were merely orb backscatter, or near-camera reflection which is common with digital cameras at night.

There were a few pictures with a different phenomena in them, so I’m going to go back to the cemetery again, and do a more controlled photography session, to see what I get.

My daytime photos can be seen here.
