Best Ghosts Captured in Photos and Film


Be prepared to comment on which one seems most believable to you.

1. Aunt Voula: "All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bobopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes. Inside the lump was my twin."



2. Christopher Walken's ghost from The Deer Hunter.



3. "Help me, Cannon-sitting people of a galaxy far, far away; you are my only hope!"



4. This is no ghost! It's a reverse vampire!



5. Can't a ghost skip a rock in peace?!



6. I know there's a lot going on in this picture, but can you spot the Grim Reaper?



Bonus Round: Ghosts in Movies:

7. Three Men and a Baby - The alleged "Ghost" in this scene is just a "standee" [a stand-up cardboard cutout used for advertising display] of Ted Danson in a top hat and tails, according to snopes.com. You can see from the film clip's still shot, here below, that the standee's top hat is revealed.



See for yourself:



8. The Wizard of Oz - The "Disgruntled Munchkin" is actually just a crane or an emu borrowed from the local zoo spreading and retracting its wings. You can see him flapping around in early screen frames too.



What is your vote? Ghosts 1-8?

    I think it's trick photography on most of the pictures. I've seen the Ted Danson cut out before. The thing I like to look for in Wizard of Oz is the dead man who hung himself from the set.

    Dead man finally debunked! I totally see the crane and am glad to know what really happened that day!

    I forgot to say, #6 looks most believable to me.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
