Unlikely to be Abe Licolns ghost as he was not assinated until 1865

Yeah, that's what the history books tell you.

Mumler was proven to be a fraud when it came to spirit photography- and this picture was taken AFTER Lincoln's assassination.

Failure to clean the glass plates used in photography resulted in after images...that is indeed Lincoln, but not his ghost.
