The owner of this photo explained, “My youngest daughter took this picture of my oldest daughter and her boyfriend. At the time, no one else was home, yet it clearly looks like someone is standing behind her. The photo was taken in 2012. My sister passed away in 1992 from bone cancer, and we’ve always felt her presence visiting us. But this was the very first time we actually saw her appear.”

No verification of any of the claims made around these photos.

The person who shared this photo explained, “While my two sons were at school, I was in my bedroom with my daughter and the door closed when my phone sent a motion alert from the living room camera. It struck me as odd no one should’ve been there. But when I opened the alert, I saw something in the bathroom behind the baby gate. It looked like a small child. Whatever it was, it resembled my youngest son… but both of my boys were at school.”

The owner of these photos wrote, “Hello everyone. This past Sunday, I attended a Soul Dance event in Atlanta for Día de los Muertos. The event was led by a powerful musician named Porangui, who offered a beautiful prayer and called upon the spirits. The energy in the air was intense, I could feel it deeply. While there, I experienced both spiritual and physical healing. Later, when we looked through our photos, we noticed what appears to be a spirit in the background saying ‘HELLO.’”

The owner of this picture Gina wrote, "Thought I'd send this pic of a grey little boy with no face. I wasn't able to take multiple pictures of him, but for a good 5 minutes or so, he stayed at this position the whole time. Never moved then he disappeared. I have seen similar pics of this little boy doing other things (i.e. crawling on the floor) in other ghostly web sites, and realized that what I had captured."

Looks like a calico cat sitting on something. Obvious pareidolia.

Really? No one at a Day of the Dead event dressed as the dead? 9_9

BS excuse for very poor quality photo.

The owner of this photo shared:

"My uncle passed away in this very room in 2007 from an overdose. Even before that, the house always had an uneasy feeling, but after his death, it got noticeably worse. A few months later, my aunt threw a party, and my cousins decided to play ghost hunters to see if they could capture anything. This photo was taken on an old, low-quality cellphone. There were no lights on, the computer was off, and there were no windows in that part of the room. I’ve always had a feeling this was my uncle’s way of saying hello again. This happened in Long Island."



Site managers standard pic shows ghost in door window.



"This photo, believed to be from around 1938, was sent to Dr. Kimberly Molto, a research scientist specializing in neurobiology in Ontario, and later shared online. It was originally taken by a woman documenting her basement before beginning long-overdue renovations. The image seems to show a man, identified by the photographer as her husband, sweeping in the dim corner of the room. What makes the picture so striking is that the man captured in it should not have been there at all, as her husband had passed away from a massive coronary in that very basement several years before the photograph was taken."




The information we have regarding this photo:
"A woman visiting the infamously haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky snapped a photograph that appears to show an apparition lurking in a doorway. The image was captured this past Saturday evening (correct at the the original published time) by Maggie Clark while she was participating in one of the site's popular ghost tours. As she was exploring the top floor of the building, she noticed a ball on the floor and, hoping that she might catch sight of the object moving, snapped a picture of the general area using the night mode setting on her camera. While she did not capture any motion from the toy, she wound up photographing something far more fantastic.

In the image, a curious form can be seen right at the edge of a doorway. Although it appears fairly nebulous at first, as one looks down towards the bottom of the anomaly, the distinct outline of a shoe-clad foot is readily apparent, suggesting that it is some kind of ghost. After Clark shared the picture on social media, she was met with a handful of skeptical observers who argued that the photo was doctored, however she insists that is not the case, telling us that "posting a fake picture serves me no purpose and is by far and away the most ridiculous thing anyone who seriously wants to prove the existence of ghosts to do." She also noted that the anomaly only appeared on one image among a succession of pictures that she took in that moment."

CCTV Captures ‘Ghost Child’ in Empty Pub ?

"Two pub owners in Manchester were spooked after their security camera caught a small, shadowy figure wandering an empty bar at night. The couple heard laughing and banging noises, then reviewed the footage to see a vague child-like presence pacing by a table. This is the latest incident in a pub already known for its eerie occurrences."



"Uploaded to Facebook by Kenton S., this photo was taken during a family reunion… and it seems to show something no one expected.

When the images were developed, the family realized they may have captured the figure of someone who shouldn’t have been there — a relative who had already passed away."



"This photo was shared by a man named Rohrer Hope and was taken on an old Polaroid camera sometime in the 1970s. It shows a young mother with her children but behind them, you can spot something far more unsettling: a face that shouldn’t be there at all."



"Ok so I'll try to explain this best I can... The first photo was taken 6 months after my Mother had left us. My nephew had a backyard gathering, and for the first time since Mom left we were all together. We took tons of photos, however this was the only one where this “figure” appeared... My family (me included) believes it's Mom there with us... (No one over 40 was at the gathering) The third photo is my Mom, for comparison.."

As you have seen most ghosts captured on camera appear benign and even somewhat comforting. But here's a case that's creepy as all get out!

"My mom took this picture with her phone camera, and my daughter is the one on the right. There was absolutely no one else there when she took the photo, yet somehow, another figure appears beside her. What’s even stranger is the difference in their feet—why do they look so different? We have no explanation for this."

Quote:Yes, modern phone cameras heavily use computational photography techniques to automatically capture and merge multiple images taken in quick succession into a single final photo.

Which totally doesn't explain why there are images of people who were not there and not in any other photo.
