What makes a good ghost picture?

It is nearly impossible these days to come up with a ghost picture that no one can refute. However that doesn’t stop many people from trying.  If you are trying to capture paranormal activity with your camera, it is vital that you save your EXIF data, and that you notate the conditions around you.  This will help you later with photo analysis.  Polaroid photos are still the media of choice, with high speed 35mm due its negative capabilities, and digital coming in last due to ability of people to easily alter, and fake ghost photos.  These days anyone with a smart phone and an app can make a fake ghost photo. But regardless of that lets be faithful that people aren’t intentionally trying to do that.

Many spirit photographs also meet their demise to a phenomena called Pareidolia. According to Webster’s dictionary Pareidolia (/pærɪˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. Basically the phenomena is centered around the human tendency to perceive random things occurring in nature as significant, when they are not. One example of this can be seen when we look at a cloud in the sky and we are able to see a recognizable face or figure in the make up of the cloud.
