7 terrible fake ghost pictures

May 30, 2015 by Andrew 3 Comments

What counts as a terrible ghost picture in the first place?

There are a few answers; the photoshop ghost might be easy to spot, the original picture might already be famous or some popular smartphone app like Ghost Camera Prank might have been used. Badly faked ghost pictures are common on the internet. Some might argue that all ghost pictures are fake but that’s a debate for another day.

Here’s 8 of the worst fake ghost pictures according to In Pure Spirit.

Faked Scolastic Information

1421962110

The picture above is a fake. You can just see the “ghost teacher” or very large child floating above the students in the foreground. The original, seen below, is Robert Doisneau’s Scolastic Information. You can buy the original from Art Republic.

Faked Dracula, Bela Lugois

1421962480

This is a famous picture from Bela Lugosi’s 1931 Dracula picture. It boggles the mind that anyone would thik to photoshop a ghost into it. Are we expected to think that the vmpire is real too? As evidence; the original can be bought as a poster from Art.com.

LUGOSI

Haunted Gothic Church of St Peter

1421962873

This fake ghost looks like it was created on a smartphone. You can see the so-called haunting sitting in what looks like a sofa on the right. The original picture can be seen in a blog post created by Andy Finnegan which tells us that the original is the Gothic Church of St Peter in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. You can see a copy of the original below.

Ghosts in the snow

1421962769

This terrible picture is of Miranda Castle. The original photograph may have been taken by this Flickr user and published without permission to be shared elsewhere. That’s not stopped the original from being spread around the internet and in this case some one adding a horrible creature you can just see in the front left.

Ghosts inside the castle church

1421962708

It might make sense to imagine there would be ghosts inside a church or ghosts inside a castle. Needless to say it may well make sense that there are ghosts inside a castle church. In this case the photograph does not prove ghosts are real. The original can be found among a personal collection at Roman Zakharii’s site.

Edward VII and his ghost

1421962933

This so-called haunting of Edward VII is unlikely. The original picture can be found in Wikipedia’s archives and the ghostly spectre added to the image looks more modern than anything else. Do you think this is real?

The ghost on the pier

1421962662

I suppose this is quite a nice idea. In this case the faked photograph begins life as a good photograph without any obvious hook to the supernatural. A figure is simply added in and suddenly the whole picture takes on a new life. The original, however, can be found on Redbubble by the artist SD Smart and there’s no ghost.

Ghost hunting? There’s an app for that!

January 30, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Richard Holland, former editor of Paranormal Magazine, editor of Uncanny UK and author of a number of books on the subject of ghosts and folklore has published a Ghost Finder iPhone App.

The app, called Ghost Finder London, is a gazetteer of haunted locations in London. At £1.99 the app is cheaper than all the books you would otherwise need to buy, in paper or digitally, in order to compile a similar list.

Each of the 300 haunted sites, throughout Central and Greater London, have been plotted on Google Maps and the app ties them in via the phone’s GPS. The database can be searched by keyword or location. Londoners buy the app and wanted to – could use it to find the nearest haunted location to their own homes.

Noel Edmonds’ Cosmic Ordering iPhone App

September 21, 2009 by Andrew Leave a Comment

British TV presenter Noel Edmonds has launched an iPhone application for Cosmic Ordering. Cosmic Ordering is the faith technique in which individuals can focus their desires to connect with the cosmos and make those desires real.

Noel Edmonds talked about Cosmic Ordering in public first in 2005. He had not worked in TV since 1999 when “Noel’s House Party” closed. After being introduced to Cosmic Ordering by his reflexologist he found a new prominent position as the host of Deal or No Deal.

The iPhone application allows users to place orders with the Cosmos – such as “improved finances” or “fresh romance” – and for the Cosmos to respond via the application.

He told press, “However, the Cosmos won’t, indeed it can’t, assist you unless you adhere to the three basic rules of Cosmic Ordering, the most important of which is belief in yourself and your right to be successful.”
