Ghost Capture: Have you been fooled?

Do any of these ghosts look familiar?
Ghost pictures created through an iPhone app
called "Ghost Capture" have been making their
way around the Internet. Have you been fooled?

Recently, we wondered why we kept seeing
the same ghost showing up in different
photographs we were receiving. It was
obvious that they were fake ghost pictures,
but why were there so many making their way
to our e-mail in-box? Forum moderator Tkay
discovered the culprit through an Internet blog
she had read. Fake ghost photos are being
made by a program known as Ghost
Capture, and it's all for fun.

Right: Some of the ghosts from Ghost Capture.

Ghost Capture was the brainchild of "Ghosts Don't Exist," an independent ghost film that was
produced in 2009. The iPhone application was created for marketing purposes. It is offered
as a free download for iPod and iTouch users only. See: Ghost Camera Pro

With Ghost Capture, the user can manipulate photos within their phone's photo gallery by
superimposing stock ghost photos from Ghost Capture onto them. The size of the ghost, as
well as its angle and transparency, can be adjusted to fit almost perfectly into any photograph.

Apparently, the program creates fake ghost
photos that look too good. Recently, The
Daily Mail, a UK newspaper, ran a story of an
older gentleman who supposedly captured a
ghost with his cell phone. The ghost later was
found to be a Ghost Capture creation.

Rumor has it that there are thirty ghosts from
Ghost Capture being used to fool friends,
family and ghost investigators. Be wary!

Below: More examples of the ghosts found in the
Ghost Capture program.

through Ghost Capture.

Notice how the angle, size and transparency
of the ghost has been adjusted by Ghost
Capture to fit into the photograph.
