Picture of Jim Morrison's ghost is Real experts say, page 1

Yes it has been proved that the picture, depicting the ghost of Jim Morrison at his own grave site, is in fact real. There was no photo manipulation or such. Link to the story and video. Opinions?

The photo

I see a bare-chested Jim. And Jim was heavier than that when he died. And it seems to me that Jim would be flashing his penis as a joke to let the world know it really IS him!

Good catch. I completely missed it, but it seems to me to be highly suspicious. The shot centers both the standing man and the image in the background. This wouldn't have happened, unless the photographer was trying to get both elements into the photo - which would suggest that he knew about the "ghost" and wanted to include it.

It doesn't seem that this "ghost" is actually at the grave itself, but rather farther off in the background somewhere. Morrison's headstone is in front of the man standing there, with flowers on it. I don't know what's back there, but it looks like a mausoleum or something. So right away I'm wondering, why is that image supposed to be of Morrison, and not some other ghost? You can't make out a face. It's just some sort of apparent male figure wearing black and white.

As for the "ghost" itself, it is childishly easy to create an ethereal-looking image of a person, with the background showing through. There is no way for any "expert" to assert that this image is "real". The best anyone could do is possibly say whether it had been Photoshopped. I'm not even convinced that an expert can always identify a well-done Photoshop, but this didn't require Photoshop. Just a guy posing as a ghost in the photo, exposed for less time than the rest of the scene. If this was a film photo (as opposed to digital), there are all sorts of darkroom tricks that could also have been used.

But really, the most suspicious point is the framing of the shot, which appears to deliberately and knowingly include the "ghost". That is inconsistent with the story.

The background:


There's either a window on the backside , or something there that reflects.

I see no window at all on that door. And the photo has been gone over by experts I am sure they examined to see if it was a reflection which it says in the article it is not a reflection I am pretty sure

Another example. Look at the angle this was taken. Same angle as the ghost picture. There is a large stone to the left and right. This is the only place to stand to take the pic

I see no where where 'experts' have examined it. Only 'researchers' who can be nuttier than my Aunt Anna, and she's mental.

Send it to a ATS photo expert to look into it.

Also, everyone elses grave shots are clear (including mine if I could find it taken in 91) this one is nicely smokey, and taken only in 97.
