There are a number of classic "ghost photos" and they have been around for decades. The older photos are therefor harder to debunk, since it would take far more effort and time, and they are also on film as opposed to digital photos.
Snapshots of family holiday events from decades past, do they feature a rare appearance from a long-passed relative, or even a close friend? Many claim that their images are genuine and do feature ghostly faces or bodies, seemingly floating in the air near or behind people posing for photos.
Everyone has seen these type of photographs online and they offer some source information, but many do not. Larger heads then those also seen posing in the photograph, does this imply they are closer to the camera then others posing? Photographs of some "ghosts" show people missing heads, arms or legs, or vanishing into a wisp of light or color.
Others see faces inside orbs of photos, many believe this to be matrixing. Orbs themselves are very questionable inside the paranormal field and many ignore them as dust particles, insects or reflections of light. Could Grandma be making an appearance inside a giant dust orb in the living room by the Christmas tree? The answer to that question would depend on whom you ask and how they view the phenomena itself.
You see photos of faces directly behind others or even on top of other faces. Is this a close relative saying hello, or maybe its simply the face of someone who was passing by watching and wanted to jump into the picture with everyone else.
A recent film, "The Conjuring 2", actually recreated a picture taken at he Amityville Horror house, when Ed and Lorraine Warren did a walk through with a reporter and photographer. They captured what looks like a small boy peering around a doorway. The movie succeeds in replicating this moment when the photographer took the photo. This small moment impressed me, as unless you are familiar with this photo, you would have no idea what had small detail had occurred. The belief is that is that of the one of the young DeFeo boys who was killed inside the house before George and Kathy Lutz moved in with their family for 28 days.
I have seen a number of photos from fellow investigators and most are questionable and a great many take a good deal of "wishing" to see a ghostly apparition.
How does one go about capturing a ghost in a photograph? Taking lots and lots of photos! I take many photographs to use as visual aids in my EVP videos, and not specifically as "ghost or spirit photography". Have I captured any ghosts in my photos while documenting the location that i captured my EVP recordings? I think I have, some even I say are questionable, but one or two really puzzle me when I look at them, even today.
I will post my own photos just before this week's show so you all can take a look for yourself.
Any tips on how to evaluate and review photographs so that you can tell if it might be matrixing or a real ghost captured? A good method is to take your photos in series of 3. This provides a before or after show, if you capture a spirit face or image. You can compare the same shot with another, if one has no image and the other does, ask yourself what could be causing the phenomena? Reflection from a window or metallic surface close by? A beam from another person's flashlight, caught for a split second while taking the photograph? Outside is there insects flying around that I may not have noticed when taking the photograph? Also do these faces only appear in photos when I use a single type of camera or phone over and over again? Have you tried another to see if they are still present?
A healthy dose of skepticism is good when dealing with any paranormal research whether it be photos or audio. Get opinions of those around you, don't tell them what it is, show them the photo and say simply "Take a look at this photo and tell me what you see."
