Vintage Victorian "Ghost" Pictures

    Evena if nowadays we are living in a modern society where digital camera phones and CCTV are common and simple things, capturing an elusive ghost on film is harder than you would think.The paranormal photographer must state that his pic is the genuine article to a skeptical public.
    However, people from the Victorian era, seemd to have no troubles with capturing pictures where an evil spirit or phantom is present. But the skeptical pubblic continued/continued to believe that the pictures are made in double exposure as I mentioned about the ones from the Memento Mortis post.
    An interesting fact is when in 1861, William Mumler was stunned to see a strange face next to his on the developed plate, he claimed it was the image of a cousin who had died some years earlier.
