Not Ghosts, But They May Look Like Them

Many times I see pictures of "ghost" which are not. Most often, a photographic cause can be found to many images. It is very easy to make "ghost" images, often by mistake. None of the images below were made on purpose, but they are pretty good examples of photographic phenomena causing unexpected images.



This image was created by a flashlight lying on the rail road tracks and a camera in night mode being moved by the photographer while the shutter was still open. (It is nearly impossible to keep a camera still while in night mode unless you use a tripod)



This image appears to possibly be ectoplasm. But, it is not. See the photo below.



This image is obviously a flashlight, the stream is caused by using night mode on the camera.



Here is a picture of an image at the end of the tunnel, it isn't a ghost, it's me. My son took the picture from the opposite end of the tunnel, be sure you know where everyone is.
