Is the stain on the bedspread supposed to be of supernatural origin?

*shudder*

No, it's clearly a mediorce photoshop job. If we're going to criticize and debunk, let's not nitpick inaccurately.
 
I took this photo a couple nights ago down by the beach.

I'm not sure if this is one ghost with 20 feet or 10 ghosts getting jiggly with each other.

The second one looks more like someone sat on the edge of one of those super expensive squishy foam matresses.

I like that one (the swirly crawling person photo). I think it falls into the "Deliberate Fake" category, rather than something an Accidental one.

I think it falls into the 'taking a picture while you are smoking a cigarrette' category.

The very fist picture looks like a bird that was startled out of a bush as the picture was taken.

I'm dissapointed that there weren't any camera strap pictures - those are always fun.

Mm, I think that the bright spots are too bright to be cigarette smoke. It could be flash bouncing back through smoke, but I don't think so - look at the area around the child's lap. it does look rather unnatural.

Combination of long exposure and someone walking on the bridge, by any chance?

Of course you have to use a long exposure to photograph ghosts. The soul's ectoplasm has a very soft luminous glow which is seldom revealed in a normal exposure. Sheeeesh! :yo-yo:

Nah, it's smoke. Take a close look at that pic - it looks like an old 110 camera was used. Those things had notoriously bright flashes. There was not real way to control the S stop, focus, etc. In fact, you can even see the smoking drifting up from the person take the pic. The smoke is only a few inches from the camera, thus the bright flash appearence set against the background of a darkened room.

The third one looks like damaged film to me.

If it's not a digital camera, I'd say someone had a problem keeping their photographic paper submerged in the development emulsion.

I'm talking about Lisa's second attached picture (the 6th pic in this thread).
Oddly enough, the red one didn't show up for me yesterday ??

The pillow in that seat looks suspiciously bright too. I guess you're right about the flash.

I agree it is probably photoshop because the existance of ghosts would contradict all other existing evidence.

On the other hand, what about that photo looks fake? There is something wrong with it but I can't put my finger on it.

All of the picture is relatively sharp and crisp, except that bit of "ghost imprint" on the bed, which is a bit fuzzy. Also, the shadow doesn't match the shadows of other folds in the bed linnen.
