A Wedding Day Ghost Photo
NOTE: the photo was submitted to Paranormal.About.com. The commentary from the owner of the photo and a reader feedback is interesting. What do you think? ...Lon
This is a photo of my aunt's wedding day. The year was 1942, and the photo was taken with a box camera. On some of my feedback I'm told it's not really there! Well, I know it is. This picture has been passed down. Please give me some feedback. I would like too see what everyone thinks. It was taken in Jasper, Alabama. -- Liz
It's an interesting photo. We have three possibilities:
1. It's an extraordinary case of pareidolia -- an illusion.
2. It's a hoax -- a very clever and well-executed one -- created with image editing software.
3. It's a genuine ghost.
I'm not ready to say it's a genuine ghost. And I think it's too detailed to be pareidolia. So I suspect -- and Liz, forgive me if I'm wrong -- that this is a manipulated photo. And my main reason for saying that is that the "ghost" is just too scary looking, like something out of a horror movie. It's just too theatrical. Your opinion? -- S.W.
Liz responds:
I thank you for your feedback on the wedding day photo, but I do not agree. These pictures were taken before I was born -- that's a long time ago. And when I saw the photos they have never changed. There is a lot about this picture no one can explain, and I think it's something paranormal. -- Liz

clearly not real, I have seen many photos from that era that have been manipulated when it comes to spirit world and seances.
Keep in mind the setting of the photo - a wedding day.
I don't see any reason why it would have been manipulated, and manipulated photos from that era are generally fairly easy to spot.
Perhaps they had one of the girls put on a mask and hang onto the tree in the background of the photo for future lulz.
In my mind, it's either an illusion or the real deal.
Either way, pretty creepy.
A very simple way to address the fraud aspect is to produce the negative. If the image is present there, the ghost argument would require more thought.
Otherwise, it is either an extraordinary but a little 'too extraordinary' shot to be believed, or it is an altered photo.
This photo is very goood 1 way or the other. Excelent fake or.........
It's my belief that the "ghostly woman" was extremely upset about the wedding, in particular, the bride. Perhaps it's the man's first wife or someone that he jilted in the past who died. Another scenario, maybe he "got rid" of his first wife, and she's protesting. Ha, Ha. They didn't fake photos in those days and it's not manipulated. Why don't people accept what they see?
