It was the beginning of winter in 2021, and we were settling into the second year in our new home—an 1854 Antebellum mansion in Paris, Tennessee. After moving from Florida, my husband and I were embracing a quieter, simpler lifestyle in this small northern town. That weekend, we were especially excited because his daughter was visiting for the first time to see our new home.
We took the whole family out to a local restaurant for dinner, then spent the evening driving through the town, showing her the charm and beauty of our little community. After a stop for dessert, we returned home and gathered together to share stories and enjoy each other’s company. Later, Kevin, his daughter, and I decided to watch a movie upstairs in the master bedroom, which was warmer and cozier than the main living area. We popped some popcorn and headed up, leaving the rest of the family downstairs.
As we settled in, music was playing softly in the background. Kevin, wearing his new cowboy hat, was laughing and dancing a bit—playfully showing off for his daughter. That’s when something incredible happened.
A grapefruit-sized, shiny white orb suddenly appeared near the ceiling, directly above Kevin’s head—as if it had entered the room from the attic. It hovered there for just a moment before beginning to circle around him. I was stunned. I’d never seen anything like it. My phone was lying nearby on the bed, and I instinctively reached for it and managed to snap a picture just before the orb reached his waist.
His daughter saw it too—and immediately began screaming in terror. She was completely overwhelmed and frightened by what she was witnessing. Kevin hadn’t noticed the orb at first, but when he looked down and saw it circling him, he was just as stunned. The orb continued to spiral down his body—making about four revolutions—before it reached his knees and vanished, just as suddenly as it had appeared.
The whole experience was surreal. I was so captivated by the sight that I didn’t even shout. I was simply observing, taking it all in. To witness something that clearly—so close and with such intensity—was rare. It felt like a moment of real, unexplained interaction with something beyond the ordinary.
Kevin’s daughter, however, was deeply shaken and too afraid to sleep alone in the house that night. We let her stay in the adjoining room off the master bedroom for comfort. Even now, Kevin and I still don’t understand what triggered the orb’s appearance or why it chose that moment—when his daughter was with us—to manifest in such a dramatic way. It's a mystery that continues to stay with us.
