Are ghosts real? Probably not, but probably. We don't want a haunting. The last time that happened around here Scripps took over. The plethora of ghost-hunting shows on cable primarily make use of improperly employed or malfunctioning equipment for the sake of leaning into spooky storytelling. And when kids use a Ouija board, someone is either moving the planchette intentionally, or the group is merely succumbing to the ideomotor effect.
But while we may understand these things intellectually, photos and videos like the ones below can still manage to get under our skin anyway. Is that ghostly figure moving in the background just an artifact from a previous recording? That UFO sighting just a wayward balloon?
Almost certainly. But then again, what if they’re not?
Baltimore Ghost Girl
![Is this the ghost of a little girl? The photo was taken this month by a couple on a Baltimore ghost tour.

Brother Ghost
![This 1968 picture apparently shows Robert Ferguson's brother (who had died in WWII) next to him. Double exposure? Well, as this is a Polaroid, that's almost impossible. And a (rare) double-exposure Polaroid would have less contrast. Also, notice the differences in lighting and in the two men's ears. They don't look like the same person.

Los Angeles UFO

No Face, No Arms
![This picture, taken in Hungary in 1942, has a girl in the background without arms or a face.

Phantom Passenger
