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?

Comments

  1. 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.

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