Ghost photographs


12 years 6 months ago #157826 by Ham1st
I was wondering if anybody knows on what type of camera you will be able to pick up a ghost in the photo.

So far ive had alot of different responses... some people say only film cameras picks them up, other says only IR cameras, other say any digital camera picks them up.

I am also aware of the trick where you keep the shutter open and let the person move in and out of the frame, I've done this before, but i want to take a photo of the real thing

Does anybody have any advise for me?

Most of the time, those orbs you talk about are nothing more than dust reflecting light and easily explained. Even when not explainable... reaching for the answer of a ghost is just that... reaching, and can be explained by 10 other ways just as easily.

But, to answer your question... any camera can capture the image of a ghost... that and a little photosphoping.

Is there any specific area you like to visit to try and capture a ghost? or is your house haunted?

I know some people believe in them and others don't. At first I didn't, but something is making noise and moving items in my home. And I thought I could try and take a picture of it.

:rofl: Good idea, but that won't solve wanting to capture the ghost in my home.

theres a fundamental flaw in "ghost photography".

Ghosts are not explainable. We dont know if they exist or exactly what they are if they do. The use of "tools" to record ghosts is pseudo-science. There is no proof that ghosts give off EMF, lower a room temperature, or are visible under IR.

Yet the "real" ghost hunters... who have never really proven anything... use EMF detectors, temperature gauges, IR cameras and night vision tools religiously.

I think people just like to creep themselves out. Otherwise with the BILLIONS of people that have died over the years... youd expect hauntings to be more commonplace. add other species into that and youd expect to see a ghost on a nightly basis. isnt it odd how people commonly "sense" a cat brushing against their leg... but whos ever felt a T-Rex run through them??

ghosts are hogwash.
