Anecdotal Fallacy and LSPI

I'm covering the http://www.laspirits.com website and under its evidence for ghosts what you see in pictures is quite the treat. I have underlined all the typos for your enjoyment.

The Photo gallery http://www.laspirits.com/HTML/photogallery.html
A FULL OR PARTIAL APPARAITION IS SOME OF THE BEST EVIDENCE YOU CAN COLLECT!
In all caps with pictures under and more text.

THE MOST COMMON SUPPOSID PARANORMAL EVIDENCE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE SO EASILY RECREATED WITH DUST, INSECTS, MOISTURE, ETC. A TRUE ORB IS SIMPLY A COLLECTION OF ENERGY.
The fallacy here is that they take "true orbs" as energy that often accompany ghosts but they have run ahead of themselves and they haven't explained what this photo evidence even tells us. If true orbs are the best evidence and they are energy but a false positive is dust, etc then the best evidence for ghosts in their argument is particles in the air that argue ghosts exist because they want them to and this is the most evidence/scam they came up with.
