The thing that always get about SOME of the pics I see where the aparition shows up on development is: the person taking the picture always seems to intentionally leave enough room for the image; throwing what they are taking off balace. Some are pretty freaky though.

I've seen this before. It did look like a gag site, but it was pretty interesting stuff, some of which I had heard about but never seen pictures of.

Interesting, but not new. Most of that stuff seems like a stretch. Anyone can fake an image onto a picture, and of course the video is grainy and extremely brief so it's hard to tell what actually is going on. I believe there are such things as ghosts, but those examples are a bit lame. I want to see images and video that make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Gee, people sure do seem to take a lot of pictures of empty chairs, old windows, and dark, empty warehouses with nothing in them

That's because a lot of these pictures are taken with the intention of trying to capture something not seen with the naked eye. I personally don't believe 99.9% of ghost photos, though. Partly because the phenomenon is based on a scam from the mid to late 1800s, during the spiritualist movement. The scammer would overlay a faint image of a dead, beloved relative over the shoulder of the client's portrait, making it look like the ghost was there at the time the photo (or daguerrotype, in this case) was taken. It's a primitive form of double exposure.

When you add in people trying to discern the impression of a face in a wall from a grainy, poorly-lit Polaroid; ghostly emanations that are usually the product of an errant camera strap captured on a slow timer; and double exposure tricksters, there isn't much room for legitimate spectral photography.

I do believe in ghosts, though.

Eh...most of those look like fakes. Although seeing my dad really scared by the music after I had left the room so it could load by itself...was really cool.
