Ghost Pictures thread

I didn't see a veiled woman until after viewing the photo several times. The first image that I saw was in the lower portion of the image--a bearded man's face. I'm not saying that it's definitely a ghost because I wasn't there. However, I don't believe this person faked it with photoshop.

If it isnt a fake its just light most likely projecting off things around the room

it is a mechanism in our cognitive makeup that makes us see faces in chaos, as infants, humans learned hundreds of years ago that if they respond to the faces peering at the from above they would get feed, get picked up etc. faces are the first thing infants learn to recognize, and as a result throughout or lives we strive to recognize faces first and foremost....think of you ability to recognize family and friends what is the first thing you notice????

BUMP!

Let's bring this back with more Ghost pictures.

A whole year old wow don't old threads get deleted on ATS?

Ok, well I'll still keep it going. Here are a few ghost pictures that are probably some of the most vivid and highly disputed pics on the net.

The Backseat Ghost
Mrs. Mabel Chinnery was visiting the grave of her mother one day in 1959. She had brought along her camera to take photographs of the gravesite. After snapping a few shots of her mother's gravestone, she took an impromptu photo of her husband, who was waiting alone in the car. At least the Chinnerys thought he was alone.

When the film was developed, the couple was more than surprised to see a figure wearing glasses sitting in the back seat of the car. Mrs. Chinnery immediately recognized the image of her mother - the woman whose grave they had visited on that day. A photographic expert who examined the print determined that the image of the woman was neither a reflection nor a double exposure. "I stake my reputation on the fact that the picture is genuine," he testified.

The Ghost of Boothill Cemetery
"This is the photo that changed my opinion about ghost photos," says Terry Ike Clanton, who runs the TombstoneArizona.com website. Clanton is an actor, recording artist and cowboy poet, and is also a cousin of the legendary Clanton Gang who clashed with the Earps and Doc Holliday at the famous gunfight at OK Corral. Clanton took this photo of his friend (click the picture to see the complete photo) at Boothill Graveyard. The photo was taken in black and white because he wanted Old West-looking pictures of himself dressed in Clanton's 1880-period clothes. Clanton took the film for developing to the local Thrifty Drug Store, and when he got it back was startled at what he saw. Among the gravestones, just to the right of his friend, is the image of what appears to be a thin man in a dark hat. By height, the man appears to be either legless, kneeling... or rising up out of the ground.

"I know there was no other person in this photograph when I shot it," Clanton insists. And he believes the small figure in the background is holding a knife. "We thought this was a tie at first, but after further review, it appears to be a knife," Clanton says. "The knife is in a vertical position; the tip is located just below the figure's right collar. If you're not convinced that something is weird here, look at my friend's shadow in the photo. It appears to be going back slightly to the right of him. The figure in the back should have the same shadow, but it doesn't!"

Here is another pretty famous one.

The famous photo above was taken in September, 1936 by Captain Provand and Indre Shira, two photographers who were assigned to photograph Raynham Hall for Country Life magazine. This is what happened, according to Shira:

"Captain Provand took one photograph while I flashed the light. He was focusing for another exposure; I was standing by his side just behind the camera with the flashlight pistol in my hand, looking directly up the staircase. All at once I detected an ethereal veiled form coming slowly down the stairs. Rather excitedly, I called out sharply: 'Quick, quick, there's something.' I pressed the trigger of the flashlight pistol. After the flash and on closing the shutter, Captain Provand removed the focusing cloth from his head and turning to me said: 'What's all the excitement about?'"

Upon developing the film, the image of The Brown Lady ghost was seen for the first time. It was published in the December 16, 1936 issue of Country Life. The ghost has been seen occasionally since.

And here is a Christmas eve present for all those people that like to be scared into submission.

The Ghost in the Burning Building

On November 19, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England burned to the ground. Many spectators gathered to watch the old building, built in 1905, as it was being consumed by the flames. Tony O'Rahilly, a local resident, was one of those onlookers and took photos of the spectacle with a 200mm telephoto lens from across the street. One of those photos shows what looks like a small, partially transparent girl standing in the doorway. Nether O'Rahilly nor any of the other onlookers or firefighters recalled seeing the girl there.

O'Rahilly submitted the photo to the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena which, in turn, presented it for analysis to Dr. Vernon Harrison, a photographic expert and former president of the Royal Photographic Society. Harrison carefully examined both the print and the original negative, and concluded that it was genuine. "The negative is a straightforward piece of black-and-white work and shows no sign of having been tampered with," Harrison said.

But who is the little girl? Wem, a quiet market town in northern Shropshire, had been ravaged by fire in the past. In 1677, historical records note, a fire destroyed many of the town's old timber houses. A young girl named Jane Churm, the legends say, accidentally set fire to a thatched roof with a candle. Many believed her ghost haunted the area and had been seen on a few other occasions.

THis one is most defantly a fake, the women in the first picture in the back behind the kid, is gone, but her shoes arent, and you can see that this was a photoshop job, not top notch either.

While there are definately some photos that I honestly cannot write off as hoaxes or seeing what I want to see, i think for the most part, seeing ghosts in photos is the same as hearing (usually) satanic messages in songs when you play them in reverse. You basically see or hear what you want to see or hear.

Btw, yes I do believe in ghosts because I see them quite regularly and have done so my entire life...still scare the crap out of me sometimes but on the most part I just shrug it off, sometimes say gday or go away, and think nothing more of it.

It's probably not photoshop. Just the two foto's overlapping I think. One was taken maybe 20 after the other while the lady in the brown pants was walking away. Those faults happen with camera's sometimes. Nothing more...

Tony O�Rahilly photographed a fire at Wem Town Hall, Shropshire, on 19 November 1995, and found what appears to be a ghostly girl on one of the photographs. Links have been suggested with a fire which gutted Wem in 1677, caused by a young girl accidentally setting fire to a thatched roof with a candle. Enlargement of section with ghost.

I love this pic, it sends a chill up my spine, everytime I see it.

no kidding

i would love to own a framed print of the full image. the shadows perfectly veil the surroundings -not letting you know more than you need to...

... and that girl! i know it was a spontaneous shot, but she seems to be meticulously placed where and how she was. -ooh, shes seductive in some eerie way. its almost as if she showed up to be photographed and leave her little legend behind. not many ghosts look you in the eye.

classic.

What makes it even better, is it looks to just be her head, and from what I can tell, she has a matter of fact look on her face. I just wonder if that pic has been checked to make sure it isn't a fake, because it's one of the best Ghost pics, that I have ever seen.

Heres one too


In this one, its claimed the girl in the corner wasnt there!


Look carefully for the ghost in this video (turn your sound on too)

This one is strange

This one is kind of sad

Here is another weird one. Remember, these faces appeared in the ocean!.

The next day, before dusk, the first mate reported seeing the faces of the two men in the waves off the port side of the ship. They remained in the water for 10 seconds, then faded. For several days thereafter, the phantom-like faces of the sailors were clearly seen by other members of the crew in the water following the ship. On arrival in New Orleans, the ship's captain, Keith Tracy, reported the strange events to his employers, the Cities Service Company, who suggested he try to photograph the eerie faces. Captain Tracy purchased a camera for the continuing voyage. When the faces again appeared in the water, Captain Tracy took six photos, then locked the camera and film in the ship's safe. When the film was processed by a commercial developer in New York, five of the exposures showed nothing but sea foam. But the sixth showed the ghostly faces of the doomed seamen. The negative was checked for fakery by the Burns Detective Agency. After the ship's crew had been changed, there were no more reports of sightings.
