Well, I very much believe in spirits, though not in a ghostbustey way.
It takes a lot more than one of those photographic abberations called 'orbs' to impress me, though. I know too much about photography and spirits to make much of it.
I did get a pretty cool tree-spirit shot last year, though, while playing with a traveling Argus Matchmatic that had, unfortunately, lost rangefinder alignment: I'm pretty sure I accidentally double-exposed while fussing about the loading.
I keep meaning to do something with this, cause it looks pretty cool: (see the lady in the green cloak in the leftmost tree? )
I wouldn't read too much into photographic aberrations, but art happens, even on accident from time to time. People who are looking to "prove" something may be missing something a bit deeper.
Also, this is not to say I haven't seen some truly uncanny stuff once in a while in all my times doing photo. I'm still kind of perplexed by this old box of old paper with the same thin latent image on nearly every sheet, the way it was, ...it would have had to be a *very* labor-intensive hoax left waiting for a rather long time. Hair-raising, if you're scared of that sort of thing.

Reason: Additional anecdote. :)
