Ghost Photographs

Dingilian’s drawings are themselves ghosts, the ghosts of the original photographs. The lines in these pieces are what remain of the photographic surface when the snapshots are dipped in bleach. Dingilian applies a resistive coating, which preserves the lines; he contributes nothing otherwise to the finished work. Some interrelationship of erasure and selection is always at work in a drawing. The ghost-figures... introduce an uncanny otherness in the compositions. This otherness is all the more evocative and intriguing because it is so resilient and, to some degree, independent of artistic control.

All you need to take ghost photographs is a haunted place, low light for background, and a really bright flash on your camera. You will need to examine the room you are photographing very thoroughly for any reflective objects such as metal, glass, etc. This could cause a flare that may be mistaken for an anomaly.

A lot of "real" ghost photographs were produced in the 19th. Century to prove the supernatural forces of popular mediums. A good selection of suchlike views can be seen on the web site of the American Museum of photography. There you can visit the online exhibition "Do you believe?"

The photographic image and the ghost are never far apart. From the 'ghost photography' that followed the invention of the modern camera (Cheroux et al. 2005) to contemporary photographs of 'unexplained' phenomena, ghosts and photographs seem intimately connected. Nor is this a peculiarly 'Western' phenomenon. Among the Banyankole of Uganda, the eyes of the deceased are regularly scratched out from the family album, to stop the dead from 'looking back' at the living (Vokes). Among the Bardi of Northwestern Australia, photographs may be used to bring 'luck' from the ancestors, despite the apparent wishes of the dead to remain undisturbed (Glaskin 2005). And in societies as far apart as the Canela of Brazil (Crocker 1993) and the Western Solomon Islands (Wright 2004), the word for photography is the same as that for 'ghost' or 'spirit'.

Seventy years ago this month, what is still considered one of the best ghost photographs of all time was taken at Raynham Hall, Norfolk. Ever since, it has been held up as convincing evidence for the existence of spectral forms but, as Alan Murdie discovered, long-forgotten files on the case point to a different conclusion.

You will find the photos on these pages to be different from many of the alleged "ghost photographs" that you see on the Internet. Many web pages and ghost research groups feel that they are above scrutiny by outside interests, both from other paranormal investigators and from skeptics alike.
