Paranormal Orbs at San Isidro Cave?

Oh, so, so many orbs at San Isidro Cave! Orbs are those small, circular images that are not normally visible to the naked eye but appear in still photographs. People who are into the paranormal link them to the spirit world – that is, they are supposed to be manifestations of spirits or angels, even. From time to time, we come across ghost stories in both local and foreign TV programs that feature orbs moving and hovering strangely around places believed to be haunted.

The proliferation of orbs in many photographs became evident, however, with the mass production of digital cameras. More orbs appear, apparently, when the flash is closer to the lens of the camera. Many paranormal investigators still cling to their assertions, however.

Whatever, it is certain that maybe millions of orbs inhabit this secret place in Sta. Cruz, a cave only discovered for the outside world during the last couple of years. The cave has a length of 1,200 meters and has massive chambers soaring up to about 150 feet.

After descending through a small entrance by about fifty feet one discovers himself standing in the middle of a huge chamber and at once noticing the cave’s pristine condition. One then wades through a pool of cool water that leads to shafts, climbs and drops of varying depths and finds even bigger chambers inside that are spectacularly designed by nature. You'd think that cathedrals and treasures found in them such as art and religious reliquaries must have found inspiration from these caves.

Halfway through the cave one hears the sound of water gushing from the rocks coming from different directions, the most significant of which is a 9-foot gusher that invites visitors to bathe in it. I hear whispers about possible ‘purifying powers’…

Past this waterfall and through a walking tunnel (and that’s after an hour of exploring), one finds himself in an even bigger and wider chamber. By then you wonder what more there is to find deeper into the cave. But, you’d find the guides talking you out of it instead.

Marinduque visitors who are familiar only with the legendary Bathala Cave will certainly find San Isidro Cave to be in a different league. Once outside, you might find yourself really asking, where on earth have I just been? And find yourself fixed, carefully examining the orbs...
















Mapping and training for local cave guides have been undertaken by DENR in cooperation with local government units, done with emphasis on the preservation of the cave. Visitors should coordinate with the Office of the Mayor, Sta. Cruz or the Barangay Captain of San Isidro, Capt. Perfirio Manuba, #0921-4129641.
