Ghost photo

[poliphilo]

Most photographs of "ghosts" are unconvincing. They show "orbs"- which could be illuminated dust motes- or light anomalies- which could be anything.

But here's one I hadn't seen before which deserves closer inspection. Of course you have to trust in the good faith of the sponsors when they say it isn't a fake.

But it's oddness is compelling. If I were faking a "ghost photograph" I don't think I'd have come up with anything quite as peculiar as this.

First, why is the man wearing a cowboy hat and holding a pistol?

I think the man in the black cowboy hat surely must be a pal who was playing a trick! I want to laugh, for some reason.

Maybe because he's wearing a black hat, while the serious posing man with the pistol is being a good cowboy with a white hat.

Here are some more ghost photos. Mostly they aren't quite so clear.
