Three people with two spirits

Same chap in this photo? Back right?

JODA??

Different lighting on this "ghost!" (??)

This one looks like it is in a different dimension.

is he going to throw up?

Almost looks projected (i.e. from the bulb)

good tata

Great pics.... he didn't need any fancy photoshop programs to create great pictures, he just used his printing sheets (or whatever they are called) several times :D

Search William Hope. He was one of the premiere spirit photographers of the early Twentieth Century and was considered by believers and supporters to be a true master of the art of producing spirits on ordinary photographic plates. To others, he was a clever trickster and while he had more than his share of detractors, he was often accused of fraud but was never caught at it -- thanks to the controversy that surrounded the main attempt to expose him.

This is a cool shot, but the spirits have different - - resolutions? - - than the actual people. It looks like the pictures were either photo-shopped, layered, or something of that effect.

I have to say that the supposed ghost at the bottom of the picture does not look like a real ghost. It looks a lot newer than the picture and therefore i do feel that it is a fake.

You'd have to be retarded to believe these pictures are real. If these are in fact from the 1920's, then this guy figured out a way to fake them and make money off of them. They're still retarded.
Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )

ChrisMaylam says:

These arn't real.In the 20's the cameras used to sometimes get the previous images burned into the lenses.This caused the "ghostly effect (Seen in this photo).So people used to get hyped about it all and think it was ghosts when it was previous shots burned onto the lens.
