This is a photo of myself, my mother, and my newborn daughter taken January 11, 1987. The face beside the lady holding the baby is no one we know. We have several pictures from this day and this is the only one with the face. Can you tell me what it could be? A ghost? I get the feeling that it is not a benevolent, whatever it is.

The person to the right is the mother, who is me. I remember this day clearly, even though 22 years IS a long time ago. I have approximately 15 pictures taken this day in about a 2 hour time frame. Some were taken only moments after or before this one, and this “person” is in none of them. I promise you, if someone was at my house to visit me & my baby, I, or someone in my family, would know it. @prelapsaria, you are correct in your point a. There is literally about 6 inches between my mother’s back and the sewing machine. If there was a person there, I am convinced that we would know and remember who was up on her back like that. This was not taken with a digital camera, although I do not know what kind of camera or film was used. The original is much clearer than this scanned image. My experience with double exposure is that it creates a duplicate image on the same photo. In that case, the “ghosts” mouth would not be shut. I am really digging all the comments, though, thanks to everyone!!! :-)
