Well when you Photoshop the First Picture...and bring it down to the Pixel...the Image in the Background of the Dude with the Flintlinck and Possibles Bag.... has a Higher Pixel Count than the Main Picture does...so I call it a Photoshop Chopjob.....JMO

Interesting theory Mike. Obviously your photoshop is different than mine. Once it is saved as a jpeg the pixels are redistributed and the pixels are exactly the same size. If it was a PSD or TIFF format, we could tell if the resolution was off. The color of the musket dude follows the pixelation too closely, it just doesn't fade enough into the neighboring pixels, suggesting it was brought in from another photo.  I agree they are fake, but you need a copy of the original to tell what was done to it.

Not photoshop-Iphone app called "ghost capture. " I've seen I don't know how many of these haints on trail cam pics lately. It's the Civil War guy in the top center, flipped.

Imagine that Steve, the head is in the middle of the lower group.  ;) What amazes me is that people don't have anything better to do with their time.

Awww, you guys don't know anything! Why, I have a picture of a ghost German U-boat off the coast of Mexico when we were on vacation there! Yeah, and guess who was on board? That's right, you can clearly see the ghost of Hermann Goering on the deck. And we didn't photoshop the pictures from books like "U-Boats Of World War Two" and "Hermann Goering: A Biography", either, even if Goering is totally out of scale to the U-boat. And a buddy of mine has a picture that shows the ghost of Joseph Stalin walking around the Kremlin trying to find a match to light his pipe. You can clearly see him patting his pocket for a match. Or maybe a list of officers he was planning on having shot. Anyway, one of those two things. There's no way he could have photoshopped it from the book "Stalin And The Stavka Vodka Party of 1943".  No way he went to page 74 and photoshopped that picture of Stalin there.

Ive only seen one real ghost photo, one an English friend's budddy took in the ruins of a WWII USAAF bomber base in Essex. A strange kind of myst, really odd, that was taken in one of the old base buildings. A psychic was consulted and even found a name to associate with it, but that may be just her doing her professional thing.

I've seen enough ghosts that I think there must be real "spirit" photos out there. If you can see it, I think you can probably photograph it. Shame some folks go to so much trouble to fake them. Each ghost I have seen "with my own two eyes" didn't look like dead people. However, the thing in the attic of the house I grew up in I wouldn't wanted to have seen. I never went back up there after that encounter.

Recently, I've been a bit into EVP stuff. I'm sure a lot of it is fake, but some of it is very creepy. You can find some recordings using Google.
