This photograph was taken a few years ago at St. Peter's Episcopal Church Cemetery on Amelia Island. It was right before sunset as we were gathering for a haunted tour of Downtown Fernandina Beach. While nothing seemed out of the ordinary at the time I took the photograph, when I got home and downloaded it I was surprised to see what appeared to be two orbs in the center of the picture. Could they really be celestial spheres? All I know is that there didn't appear to be any smudges on the camera lens or any other explanation. The pictures I took before and after this one came out perfectly.
