Bad double exposure, thats what I believe anyway.

It looks like a photo from a couple of the Army barracks that I stayed in years ago.

It is hard to say what it is. Ghost photos are funny in that if they are two good, people scream "FAKE!" and if they are not high quality, people say "could be anything".

It is so easy to edit photos nowadays that I am pretty much skeptical right off the bat. If I look at something and I know that I could reproduce it(with my limited talents), then I just assume it is fake. I would guess that this is fake, but I do not know for sure; the guy could be on the level.

There are a few ghost photos that are very old, back when it was very difficult to fake photos that I think may be real, but not much in the past ten years or so that seem like they are real.
Bogeyman
Yeah ,it brings us to the question...what will constitute real proof ?
Anything thats offered up as proof nowdays is immediately shot down because everythings reproducable with surrent technology....so what is proof ?????????????
Method
The only ghost incident I could not explain would have to be the one on the episode of TAPS @ the jail where the "phantom" dashes across the hall with unmatched speed.

I really want to scream fake just like fluff said, who knows?
fadinginnocence
its totally fake the shape of this "ghost" looks like a mannequin or something
Nightwatcher
It looks like an X-ray negative of a person.

I'm intrigued with DJ Quinn's reply though, he said outright that it's a banshee clearly. So let's see what this link tells us:

Banshee
Fable
I'm not really sure what to make of it. However, I do agree with what Fluffybunny said. It's a lot easier to look at older photographs and say that they might very well be real. But with today, there isn't any true way of knowing without actually being the person who took the picture.
TheOriginalF
Hmmmm...yes I agree, I think with photos being so easily faked these days I find it very hard to buy into photos being genuine. You never really can tell one way or another but it's getting harder and harder to believe in them.
Shakezulah
i also agree with Fluffybunny. I think it's very hard today to tell what ghost photos and footage is real. It causes so much confusion and makes everyone skeptical, even when a photo is indeed, real.

for this photo, i want to say fake. but you never know.

Strange Figure

I was taking pictures of my room on Feb 1st, 2004, just to show and to have for future memories. Upon putting them on my computer to review them, I came accross this one which appears to have some sort of ghost like thing in it. Pretty freaky to me considering I slept in there every single night. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is? Email me if you have any comments.

hey every one, im new to this site. i have a real interest in ghosts, so i thought i would join grin2.gif

but any way, about the picture. Being a real ghost believer, i think that you never know if its real or not. It might just be a problem with the camera, or perhaps it really is some kind of supernatural being. yes.gif

well i really agree with fadinginnocence when you said that it looks like a manican. The shape is too small and barbie like to be real.
Killer Carott
