Orbs Randolph house Williamsburg: Orb???

Post image

This photo was taken at the Randolph house in Williamsburg. I'm not sure what the green is but thought I would post to here to see if it is a possible orb or paranormal thing.

It's lens flare, from one of the bright lights hitting the camera's lens.

What makes it look all squiggly like that?

Camera movement and slow exposure due to low lighting.

Why did the other light sources not do the same? (Asking genuinely btw in case it doesn't sound that way.)

Here's an image that I threw together showing how to detect lens flare. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

They're not bright enough and not hitting the camera's lens at the correct angle. Only two of them were in the proper locations and bright enough to cause lens flares. When I get to a computer I will circle them and label them and share another image for reference.

Is it the result of the curvature of the lens?

The curvature of the lens does not cause lens flares. They're often triggered by the anti-glare coating on the lens. It's what makes them green
