Two "Ghost" Photos & Explanations

 

I found these two photos on the web with explanations about how thy were made.

There might be other photos that can't be explained.

I like this photo the best so far.

Explanation:

"A jewelry engraver named William Mumler was the first enterprising mind to combine the emerging fields of spiritualism and photography for profit. Mumler’s hobby for photography paid off one day in the early 1860s when he sat for a self-portrait. He discovered a ghostly figure standing behind him as he developed the photo, which he originally believed to be the remnants of a previous image. He showed the photo to his friends on a lark and, based on their credulous responses, went into business as a spirit photographer soon after."

"Arguably the most famous ghostly photo, believers in the supernatural often cite the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall as the most conclusive photographic proof of ghosts ever taken. According to legend, the ghost is probably the spirit of Lady Townshend, whose husband imprisoned her in the estate for her infidelity. The ghost has been spotted lurking around Raynham Hall for centuries, although she was not captured on film until 1935. On assignment for Country Life magazine, photographers Captain Provand and Indre Shira snapped the photo that has since become a phenomenon.

How They Did It: While there’s still no conclusive proof and probably never will be, experts like famous skeptic Joe Nickell believe that the photograph is just a result of two images layered together."
