Old Town Spring - ghost photo detail

Mar 20th, 2008 | By Fiona Broome | Category: Real ghost photos, Spring

Several people have commented on this ghost photo. Below, we’ve included a sketch to show one interpretation of the figure in the photo. The picture at the left has been modified only to enhance the contrast, and to add a circle to indicate where the face is. Other than that, this photo is exactly as it originally appeared.

On the right, Fiona has sketched the figure to indicate some of the features.

That ghost would be full-size–about six feet tall, or a little shorter. That is, if you could see Fiona’s reflection in the window–which you can’t–it would be about the same size as the ghost. (Fiona was wearing a dark purple cowl neck sweater, no hat, and she looks nothing like the ghostly figure.)

There are many other interpretations of this ghost photo. Some people see a full figure within the circle. Others see a cowboy in chaps.

We’re the first to admit that this is one of those “either you see it, or you don’t” photos, and it may be nothing more than a quirky reflection from the flash on the window.

However, the bank’s robberies took place in the 1930s, and the town has ghosts dating back to its “wild west” days. So, any figure from these eras is likely.

  1. I absolutely see the man - but my first thought was that he reminds me of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.

  2. The head is kind of cocked off the ’shoulders’ of the figure, plus the ‘alienish’ look in it’s eyes. I’m chalking it up to optical illusion from the lens flash.
