Fourthly -- it's sentence.
And I see a shadow behind at least the girl on the right side of the picture, which makes me wonder how much Photoshop messing around was done... |

The city lights on the background are clearly blurred due to long exposure. The three "mortal" people are not, because they've only been shortly exposed by the camera flash.
Now the 'ghost' does not look much blurred either.
Suggesting it/she was exposed by a flash too, not by the long exposure itself. Or at least that it/she is the result of a shorter exposure. |

This looks to be an example of what is called double exposure. It can happen either intentionally to create a ghost like effect or by accident, usually the fault of the developer. What happens is that either two images are exposed onto the same negative or two negatives are exposed to the same developing paper. |

It's easy to superimpose an image w/ another image... |

Actually, it should be 'hanged' because hung is the past tense for hang (a picture) and hanged is the past tense for hang (a person) |

The "blur" of the "city lights" in the background look to me to be less like a long exposure time, and more like two images superimposed on each other which were taken at slightly different positions. Of course, s/he would have had to do some masking, but, eh... I don't know. |

Here's a scary ghost picture that I took with my digital camera in my living room...
http://nationalvintageracing.com/Ghosty.jpg
There are several reasons that it must be real, I swear that the following statements are true:
1. Digital cameras can't do double exposures, and a lab processing error can be dismissed.
2. You can clearly see background objects through the specter.
3. I did not use Photoshop to create this image, and there is no masking involved.
4. The image is really creepy, eh?
With that said, there are a few reason why you might decide it's a hoax, even though the above statements are factually correct.
1. I don't own Photoshop, but use another program to make fake images.
2. There is no masking involved, but a simple combining of two images shot with a tripod, and setting the ghost image at 50% transparency.
3. The Ghost looks suspiciously like me in my pajamas.
The point here is that even a hoax photo can have statements that are totally true supporting it, but it is still a hoax.

English Teacher:
My copy of the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd. Editon) lists the word as 'sceptic' (from the Latin 'scepticus'). The alternate spelling 'skeptic' is the minor form in England (where English is what is spoke), but popular is America, where, I believe, you speak 'american' (an spell it with a small 'a' as I have).
Interestingly, the Latin 'scepticus' is itself derived from the Greek 'skeptikos', but 'skeptic' appears not to be a return to the word's Greek roots (otherwise it'd be 'skeptik') but a variation on the Latinised spelling.
[By gravy! I'm begining to sound like 'Gharlane of Eddore'! (Begin USENET flashback here...)] |

For the record, there is at least one digital camera that will allow you to make double exposures. No, I'm not saying that that is necessarily the answer to this picture, but the statement that a digital camera CAN'T allow double exposures is not entirely correct. |

My camera has the option of double exposure, so you can take a picture of scenery and then yourself in it. It's called Pre-Shot, and I guess you use it so that the stranger taking your picture will get the angle right. Although I for one would never let a stranger handle this camera... |

Take a look at the hand of the girl on the right. Since when do you ever see a shadow cast on nothing but air? This photo has to be taken in front of a screen, because there is no way that shadow is on the ground, it's not on the right angle.
Also, the lights of the city are blurred, as mentioned earlier, whereas the girls aren't. This isn't possible if the photo was taken as it is shown here.
Is Cole Austin sure that his friend James is not playing a prank? It is possible that the photo was edited before it was shown to anyone else. Friends sometimes do mean, mean things for a laugh. Understandably, too, 'cause most of the time it's worth it! *malicious laugh* |

If you really took this original picture and did not mess with it in photoshop, I hate to break your heart, but it's no ghost. I've had this happen on both regular and digital cameras, it looks creepy, but it's just double exposure. On my digital, i had some settings twisted around and some of the pics were partially overlaying the last one took. Chances are you didn't even realize you took this picture, but hit the button accidentally.
Better luck on future ghost hunts! |
