I'm not buying the explanation, at all. I believe the photos were deliberately faked and that he knew about it.
1.
Image 1= 600x450 Orbs/Dust
Image 2= 600x450 Orbs/Dust
Image 3= 704x528 Face
Image 4= 704x528 Gown
Image 5= 704x528 Soldier
Image 6= 600x450 Chasing Orb
Image 7= 600x450 Orbs/Dust
Image 8= 600x450 Group Photo
The only images that would need to be edited to fake, also happen to be a different size than the rest of the images.
And for those who can't see the ridiculous face....

So what does this tell us? The only pics which appear to be digitally edited were not taken on the same date as the rest of them. If we look at the
dates as a time line we can see that
... it took at
17 min to create "The Gown" and
20 min to create "The Smudge Monster"
... they arrived home ("The Homely Orbs") BEFORE the orb chased them ("The Chasing Orb")
On 8/8/2008
... Image 4 they take a picture inside abandoned house for "The Gown"
... Image 5 they take a picture of the road
... Image 6 they turn to immediately take a picture of the side of the road
On 8/22/2008
... Image 7 they arrived at the house
... Image 6 they take the fake photo of being chased
... Image 8 they take a group picture
... Image 1 they take a photo of dust
... Image 2 they take another photo of dust

This is the last big one for me, and I can't believe I didn't recognize it to begin with.
Let's look at this picture...
First, the "orb" is nothing but a ball thrown in the air. There is no motion blur to anything else in the picture, and upon closer examination you
can see that there is a definite ball structure. The inverted photo shows the ball with the blur better, and the second shows three concentric rings
of the same size.
Second, the tire shows no blurring, you can even see the side tread. Now, while I was blowing that up to define the tire tread I noticed something
even better. I'm about 99% sure that you can see the reflection of someone standing in the side of the car.
AND, how could that angle of photo be taken if the car was moving?? Come on, you can see detail in the white line on the side of the road. The car
is NOT moving.
"Try as we might, even fleeing at over 60 miles per hour, we could not run. Do you see the orb??"

Other reasons
Alister KNEW it was fake...
Claiming the spirit was hostile.
This is NOT dust. The spirit became hostile...
He claims to have seen a face in the
fog, despite a picture taken only a few seconds before ("The Soldier") showing no signs of fog.
Look carefully into the fog in the upper right... Do you see a face?!
There is no way you could tell the 'woman' in this photo had long wavy hair unless you had seen the picture used to fake it.
Look very carefully. Tilt the screen around or shift your veiwpoint; long, wavy hair...
He claimed that he was taking pictures of the soldier
backwards while
running from the soldier. This implies the photographer was
moving backwards (no blur or shake) and that he saw the soldier with his eyes.
CLEAR image. Military outfit, belt, gunstrap, cap, gray coat, white pants... Yeah; we were taking pictures backwards while running from this guy!
He claimed that they arrived at Jerry's house
after being chased by the orb despite the fact that the 'arrival' picture was taken
before the chase picture.
The haunted house referenced the first attic and orb photos would have to also be Jerry's house because the photos were taken
seconds
apart.
We made it to Jerry's house a little more than a mile away from the site, and there were still orbs; now in Jerry's yard.
Alister faked, or knowingly knew the photos were faked, and attempted to hoax us.
