For today’s ghost hunting blog, I really wanted to show you some famous photographs and sound bites that may suggest the afterlife does exist. These are photographs from a time when Photoshop wasn’t around. Of course, while trick photography was in existence, the nature of these photographs has been put under an intense spotlight and to this day, they are still accepted. It should be noted that Kodak and others have tried to debunk these in the past, but have agreed that the images are authentic.

In this first photograph, we have the Royal Air Force. At the time, they assumed this was another squad photograph, but it would be later that the group would spot Freddy Jackson behind one of his good friends. This wouldn’t be an issue had Freddy not died two days before the photo was even taken. Those who knew Mr. Jackson attest it is indeed his face that appears in this photograph.

Our second photograph explores the Reverend R.S. Blance. While spending time at Corroboree Rock in Australia in 1959, he took a photograph of the woods. At the time, double exposure was a problem and most people would write it off as being nothing more. However, the clarity of this photograph seems to suggest that the photograph may just be genuine.

Whem Town Hall is where our third photograph was taken. It was here that a photographer chose to take some final photographs of the building as the building began to burn down. In this photo, the image of a young girl can be seen. The problem was no young girls were in the building at the time. The image is said to be similar to a Jane Churm who passed away in 1677 during a string of fires at the time.

It may take a moment to spot the next ghost, but look behind the driver in this vehicle. Mabel Chinnery is credited for taking a photo of her husband in their car on her way back from visiting her mother’s grave. The ghostly image is said to be the deceased mother who was prepared to head back home with the young couple.

Not all photographs are from the 1900s. Take for example, this photograph that dates back to 1891. In this photo, Lord Combermere, who was dead and being buried 4 miles away, was photographed sitting in his favorite chair. A photographer had been hired to take some family photographs after the funeral and this test photo is the only one in which the apparition appears.

There are other photographs from the past that also help to support the theory that the otherworldly does exist. There is the ghastly monk from 1954.

The Raynham Hall staircase or Brown Lady ghost of 1936. While the most famous and most respected, it has often looked like the Virgin Mary imposed on the photo to me.

Reverend Ralph Hardy’s Staircase Ghost of 1966.

All of these photographs probably have you wanting to capture your own series of ghosts that you can show off to others. For many, even skeptics, these photographs have no distinguishable evidence of tampering. But is that enough to call them authentic? That will depend on who you speak with and your own opinions. But they do show some great evidence you could potentially get when you are ghost hunting.

Here are a few EVPs that belong to their respective owners. The first is from the Lizzie Borden home. In it, you can make out the words, “You’re Going to Hell.”

This is another EVP that takes place in a Cemetery. I think the audio is pretty cool, it honestly seems more authentic to me than some of the others I have found online.

One more comes from one of the many ghost hunter shows. Is it real, or faked? I am not sure. I’ll let you guys debate it in the comments below.

So what do you guys think of these EVPs and Photographs? Have you seen them before, what do you think of their authenticity?
