Ghosts Date Added Ghost Pictures July 2003   The Vanishing Lamplighter The first ghosts in photographs were the result of accidents. During a long exposure--such as those required in photography's infancy--a person who stood still would register as clearly as a building. But a person who moved out of camera range after only a portion of the exposure was completed would instead appear as a see-through blur. It happened with the lamplighter in this detail from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company. To the right, another figure can be seen--a gawker who did not stay around long enough to be immortalized by the camera.   I do not claim that any of the ghost pictures were taken by me and copyright information will be shown if known. If you see an image here that does not have copyright information and you own the photograph or know the copyright information please e-mail me the details.  shy@shyscyberchamber.com BACK TO TOP
