Ghost photos

[The_Traveler]

Your dogma can be anything, including atheism.

Does self-righteousness count?

How would you address the question? - and we will take our lead from you.

Some of my friends and I went "ghost hunting" one summer. We would at night to cemeteries that were supposed to be haunted. I was the designated photographer. Nothing came out well, due to it being night, except one photo. This photo is unedited and was taken with my old film camera. Not sure if ghosts exist, but this is kinda weird.

No other pics on this roll came out with any defects, and close examination of the negatives shows the dots there also.

OK.
My suggestion on how to take the picture would be to use a Nikon D3 and the Nikon 14-24 lens set at F11 and 1/125 and 16,000 ISO on a Bogen Manfrotto tripod with the matching ball head.

This will allow a good exposure in a very dim room. Of course this is about $7000 dollars to expend in a useless effort but, heck, if its that important a belief, money should be no object.

A follow-up question. I want to build wings and attach them to my arms so I can fly. Where would I get large feathers and what kind of wax should I use to attach the feathers.

Dear Sirs'

I believe in faith healing and the laying on of hands. I was just diagnosed and cured of cancer in this way. Does anyone know of a good faith-dentist?

As a religious type of person I don't do ghost per se, but I have read many books about it to increase my knowledge - to step me out from the world of ignorance. From that I can't say they are exist nor can I say they don't exist. I am simply lack of tools to deny those who claimed of their very existance. If I do force my belief down their throat than the best way to describe it is a simple domination - where the slogan Might is right applies.

I have pointed a direction to a website where the OP concern is addressed base from a book that I have read and I still own.

Let us who have nothing useful to add step back for the time being from this thread so the OP poster recieve anything that related to his request.

The Traveler has been the most useful poster on this thread.

Yea, I lightened it in photoshop and couldn't see anything behind the dots.

I am a ghost... I am really not here I get online when the master human of this house goes to sleep. You don't have to believe in me but I am here.

To catch us on film I to suggest the use of video cameras. We are quick and sneaky buggars. to answer the problem of only having a limited amount of recording time I suggest the use of a video camera coupled to a VCR. Buy the longest tape you can find and set the recording to the longest amount of time available. This will also degrade the quality of the video and make it look much more genuine then if you capture a clear picture of one of us. People are just not ready to see clear images of us. They think we are just product of post production editing then.

Good luck and happy filming... Please note that just like humans some of us ghosts are very camera shy as well!

Smart alek! I really think that the key to capturing a ghost on film is be at the right place at the right time. And use a camera that takes pictures in 5mega pixels or more..

There are no ghosts so nothing to photograph. Maybe you can help me with the invisible blue snake that lives under my bed. :mrgreen:

If you wanted to out a ghost or whatever was causing the noises and moving I will help. Set up a video camera, because they will detect infrared as well as light. Have it running all the time and most important, tell no one else that you have the camera running.

That way when you catch the prankster or person who's moving things, you will have your evidence. If you tell them, the camera will have a mysterious malfunction whenever things happen. This is the same as trying to photograph an alien abduction, which also don't exist, as soon as you watch or the subject knows you are filming, they stop or the camera breaks or loses power "mysteriously" right when it's supposed to be filming.

If you have a ghost or something strange, you'll be rich and famous for being the first person to get a photograph and evidence of the same.

I go along with the others who said try photographing something real instead of something imaginary, you'll have better results. I'm trying to be kind about this.

Prove I don't have an invisible blue snake living under my bed. You can't, can you! :lmao:

The flaw in the logic of people who argue that you can't prove something doesn't exist is twofold. First it's the responsibility of the person who's making a claim to prove it does exist. Second you can't ever prove something doesn't exist, so it's a trap.

Logic and reasonable thinking has shown us that ghosts do not exist except in the imagination of people who want to believe they exist or as an explanation of something unexplained. You might have aliens, gremlins, Mork from Ork, or some other imaginary beings in your kitchen, not ghosts. Did you ever consider that?

Nope, you'll be spending all of your time & money trying to prove to people that you didn't fake it. Sounds exhausting - just look at the childish rhetoric you get in this thread, now imagine the rest of society.

So what happen with the result of this investigation, is it still going? I think the OP poster said he was going to upload a video footage to youtube or something, anyone knows?

This thread still lives! A while back, It died and now it has become a ghost itself.

Proof!
