What are the white orbs in pictures?

Kenbo: I heard that they are supernatural things. I kinda believe it. Some of the pictures I take that have those orbs are just freaky.
I found this picture in Google Images: http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/orbs.jpg

Yes, many paranormal investigators believe orbs are a manifestation of a spirit. Those in that picture don't look much like them to me, but I could be wrong.

It's true. Just last year, I went to an old abandoned mental hospital (insane asylum) in Staten Island, NY. We went at night time when it was completely dark, and we had flashlights and a camera with flash on. Here are some of the creepier pics I took:

Spirits of tortured souls or just particles of dust reflecting off the flash lens? Your call.

Like in the picture Kenbo provided, those don't look like orbs. Most orbs are solid, not translucent, and they rarely group together like that. But, I'm not an expert.

Excess energy in the air.
If you take pictures after a great concert the air will be filled with them, people are excited and give it off.
