Ghost photo a fake? - DPChallenge Forums

I watched an article on TV the other night about a ghost figure that appeared in a photo. The critiques feel it was a photo of a painting held in place for the photo as there were finger-like shapes around one side of the figure. The show is calling for anyone who may recognise the photo of the painting. So I thought someone on here might recognise it.

Here is the link for the article - Ghost photo

pretty interesting. They said the picture wasnt tampered with so its not photoshopped.

Not only were the times of the photos different to what the photographers stated, but there was also a modified date on the metadata. They showed it on the the tv article!!!

That's why they feel the people held up a photo of a painting and photographed it to claim it is a ghost.

Clearly, it means this ghost knows how to alter metadata!

Well, they are metaphysical, after all. Probably comes easy to them.

most likely, I hope that guy doesnt plan on submitting the photo for DPC, it might get rejected.

If you watch the article video on the right you will see the metadata and the finger shapes on the woman.

Yup...in the video the 'experts' do say that they can see a line down the side of her face where it looks like she is cut off...and it doesn't match anything in the background...go figure! I say fake!
