30 Chilling Photos That Show More People Than There Were While Taking The Pic
Interview With Expert
Even if you are not particularly superstitious, there are certain images or places where you might always feel a little bit haunted. In the 21st century, photo manipulation technology is reaching new heights every year, but this doesn’t mean that there aren’t images out that are the perfect vibe for Halloween.
We’ve gathered some allegedly “haunted” photos, where some netizens swear they can see ghosts. We got in touch with behavioral scientist Coltan Scrivner to learn more. So get comfortable, maybe leave the lights on as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Bored Panda got in touch with behavioral scientist and spooky-stuff enthusiast Coltan Scrivner to share some thoughts on “ghost” photos and why some folks love them. We wanted to know why some folks insist that these images are “real” despite the fact humans have been editing pictures ever since there were pictures.
“If you already believe that ghosts exist, it might actually require more cognitive work to believe that someone took the time to manipulate a photo and fake one than simply believe that what you're seeing is a ghost,” he shared.

The Ghost Dog Of Tingewick
The story behind this picture dates back to 1916 when retired Scotland Yard Inspector Arthur Springer took this picture in Tingewick, Buckinghamshire, England. At the moment he captured the photograph, there was reportedly no dog in the frame at all.
DadManBlues 1 year ago
Yeah, in those times there were no sensitive films that could work in 1/100s or less times. Before the invention of powerful flashlights, people had to freeze for several seconds even in well lit environments. It was easy to create 'scary' ghostly photos.

It wasn't slow lenses; lenses are just pieces of glass. It was relatively long exposure times required to enable the image to take on the emulsion covering the photographic film.

He was obviously focusing on the scene at the table and the dog didn't register with him. The dog was turning its head to look at the table as the picture was taken and it is also the same grey tone as the woman's skirt, which is why it appears to have no features. Its back end was also moving, giving it a fuzzy appearance.

So we wanted to hear his thoughts on why some people jump to paranormal conclusions when there may be mundane explanations. “The human mind is built to look for intention in actions. This bias allows social interactions to flourish with ease. However, it also means we sometimes attribute intention to actions that have more mundane explanations, which often leads to a paranormal explanation.”

The backstory of the photo is that the film developer (a friend of the person who took the photo) noticed the large empty space on the left of the ladies, so decided to pull a prank on his buddy. Basically he overlaid another image over the original, and developed it to this version. Then "presented" it as a ghost pic.

As spooky as these images look, the vast majority of them are altered to create this effect. We might think of photo manipulation as a very modern phenomenon, but the truth is that people have known how to composite and combine images since the Victorian era. There are edited photos out there that are older than many countries out there today.

Except had he not been planned to have been in the photo, that would have left a very strange gap. It's not like he's squeezed into the background. His presence in the photo looks quite deliberate.
The technique is so simple, it seems like it was almost discovered by accident. If you have an analogue camera, you would simply open the shutter twice (or even more) so the film gets exposed multiple times. Have a person be in one of the “openings” and then not in the other one’s and now you have a lovely diy ghost pic!

The House Where Latoya Ammons Lived With Her Family. This Is A Photo Taken By The Police. A Figure Appears To Show Itself In The Window At Right That Is Believed To Be Demonic
Austin, a 36-year veteran of the Gary Police Department, said he initially thought Indianapolis resident Latoya Ammons and her family concocted an elaborate tale of possessions by demons as a way to make money. But after several visits to their home and interviews with witnesses, Austin said simply, "I am a believer".
Furthermore, the family's story is made only more bizarre because it involves a DCS intervention, a string of psychological evaluations, a police investigation and, ultimately, a series of exorcisms.
It's a tale, that started with flies.

... yeah, and all those savings by ghosts, whyever it is so, appear to have only tweaked the severity of injuries a little bit, while just hitting the brakes a second earlier than a distracted driver (or so) would have prevented it altogether. Those ghosts always seem to arrive too late to prevent stuff, but only to limit the results into non-lethality. That doesn't sound too credible - they arrive, of all places on earth, at the right one, almost at the right time, but miss by a few seconds. They make the bullet penetrate the pope slighty aside his heart, but don't manipulate it to not hit him at all? Why that? Cos fake.

Most of these are double exposures. I have like a dozen of photos like this from the 80's, 90's...
Apatheist Account2 1 year ago
Many of the older ones were double exposures, which was quite easy to do as the film had to be moved on manually. The very old ones could easily have been done deliberately, to exploit the new medium; some of the modern ones are bits of fluff, small animals or light flares the the lens can't focus on properly. Some are just the old pareidolia. Given how a photograph is created, it's pretty hard to envisage how a non-corporeal entity could impart enough photons to register.

I love the ones where people insist, "No one else was there." This is especially ridiculous to claim in public places. People aren't as observant as they think they are. Memories aren't the best. Most likely people WERE there and you weren't paying attention. This is even more likely with old pictures where you had to wait to get the film developed. You don't remeber who was all at the oceanside why you were snapping photos. But you can swear no one else was there? No you can't. Or, "the TV was definitely off." It clearly wasn't and you misremembered.

Question.. Why do some 'Ghosts' seem human (Ex: you can see their face etc) Number 7 Granny Ghost and Number 5 Catherine Howard. Other 'Ghosts' are a blur, Number 8 Brown Lady for example? Why do some photos have so much negative space (Ex; A wall) next to the person with just enough room for the 'Ghost' to fit in the picture? In this day and age, if Ghosts were real, we (with advanced cameras that can do all sorts of shots) would be able to catch a good picture. It's all fake. Does anyone really want to spend their afterlife (If there is one) floating around watching people, unable to do anything. Also, why can Ghosts walk through walls and furniture but not fall through floors?

Every single “ghost hunting” show. “Here we are in a 14th German Castle, looking for the ghost of an eleven year old Baroness.”…(in English)…”Are you there, Tiffani? Can you give us a sign?”…”I think I saw some dust move in the shadow?!”…”Run away! And do NOT point the camera behind us!!!”

I used to love watching Derek Acorah on whatever the British ghost hunting programme was called. Every now and then he'd suddenly have the 'ghost' start speaking through him, but whether it was a Bristolian pub landlord from the Georgian era or a Victorian Cockney chambermaid, they all spoke with a strong Liverpudlian accent. He was such an obvious fraud that he was hilarious.

Most of these are double exposures. I have like a dozen of photos like this from the 80's, 90's...

Many of the older ones were double exposures, which was quite easy to do as the film had to be moved on manually. The very old ones could easily have been done deliberately, to exploit the new medium; some of the modern ones are bits of fluff, small animals or light flares the the lens can't focus on properly. Some are just the old pareidolia. Given how a photograph is created, it's pretty hard to envisage how a non-corporeal entity could impart enough photons to register.

Especially the 'we saw nothing when the picture was being taken' ones. If it's not visible to the naked eye it won't be visible to a camera, because eyes and cameras work on the same basic principle of capturing light reflecting off a solid object.

I love the ones where people insist, "No one else was there." This is especially ridiculous to claim in public places. People aren't as observant as they think they are. Memories aren't the best. Most likely people WERE there and you weren't paying attention. This is even more likely with old pictures where you had to wait to get the film developed. You don't remeber who was all at the oceanside why you were snapping photos. But you can swear no one else was there? No you can't. Or, "the TV was definitely off." It clearly wasn't and you misremembered.

I literally wanted to comment this on most of them that purported that "no one else was around". It seems like such a generic excuse lol

Question.. Why do some 'Ghosts' seem human (Ex: you can see their face etc) Number 7 Granny Ghost and Number 5 Catherine Howard. Other 'Ghosts' are a blur, Number 8 Brown Lady for example? Why do some photos have so much negative space (Ex; A wall) next to the person with just enough room for the 'Ghost' to fit in the picture? In this day and age, if Ghosts were real, we (with advanced cameras that can do all sorts of shots) would be able to catch a good picture. It's all fake. Does anyone really want to spend their afterlife (If there is one) floating around watching people, unable to do anything. Also, why can Ghosts walk through walls and furniture but not fall through floors?

There is a theory (aka excuse) that they are perceiving the surroundings as they were when they were alive. Quite how they then interact with modern appliances (eg turning lights on) is something of a mystery.
