False Ectoplasm Ghost Pictures                      Back to Ghost Pictures

Kathy Owen from Bodfish, California and founder of Lake Isabella Paranormal Society sent us her and her
group's following experiments in creating false ectoplasm ghost pictures, by first photographing cigarette
smoke, and then human breath in cold weather.  You will see it is very easy to capture a mist if someone is
smoking during a ghost hunt or if the photographer doesn't hold his or her breath when snapping pictures.  

"My son Daniel was taking the pictures while my daughter and I puffed away (on cigarettes).  It does appear to
look just like ectoplasm, but it is not.  Just by using the normal setting on my digital camera, and two people
smoking on each side of the camera, it can easily be mistaken for ectoplasm. This is where it is very important
not to smoke while conducting an investigation! Leave those cigarettes in the car!

My husband and I wanted to try a little something different.  So being so cold outside to the temperature of 19
degrees, we wanted to see the effects of the cold elements and our breath.  When we exhaled, I took the shot.
It's so amazing how our breath looks like ectoplasm!  It even has a brownish tint to it, as well. I also looked very
closely over each picture, and some of the mist appears to have faces in it, but it just the illusion it gives off.
This is just the two of us outside on a very cold night, breathing into the air. This could very easily be mistaken
for ectoplasm, but it is not.  This is why I like to do my ghost hunting during the warmer months."

Nice cloud of
cigarette smoke
in the upper left
of the picture.  It
looks like a
cloud and not
typical cigarette
smoke , as seen
below.  These
first three photos
are from Kathy.




Left:

This is more
typical looking
smoke from a
cigarette.  
Usually it
streams, and will
have sharper
and thinner
bends within it
(such as in the
next photo).  

Well defined
vapor trails from
ectoplasm
usually are
thicker and look
like something
travelled around
and left
tracks...not just
swirly smoke.  
(See the next
photo for
comparison.)

Paula sent us
this true
ectoplasm
picture some
time ago.  See
the distinct
vapor trails
which ectoplasm
will contain?  
This is an
extreme example.



Left:

The next six
photos from
Kathy reveal
how human
breath appears
in cold weather.  
You will notice
little or no vapor
trails.  Breath
usually appears
only on one side
or the other.


Left:

Notice how the
exhaled breath
created a cloud
of vapor that
appears to be
far away from
the camera.  
Sometimes, the
person taking
pictures will
never see the
vapor cloud; but
the camera does!



Left:

This exhaled
cloud appears to
have a face in
the center of it,
looking to the
left.  Do you see
it?  Yet, it is only
human breath
and nothing
ghostly.



The "orbs" in the
next three
photos are
actually snow
flakes reflecting
the camera's
flash.

The "mist" is
actually breath
from the camera
operator.
