Curt Deatherage writes: This is a scanned image of a picture that was given to me in the early 1980's by my great aunt. I don't have any information about it except what is written on the back. I'm assuming that it was maybe submitted to a magazine, based on the "can you use this?" that appears at the lower right hand side of the back of the picture. Also, I would guess that the reason that all of the handwriting on the back of the picture appears the same is that there were no copy machines in those days. I would guess the photographer it notarized, but had no way to duplicate that, so he just wrote what appeared on the original. At the time she gave me the picture, she also gave me a couple of old cameras she had acquired over the years. One of those cameras has a small door on the back that flips open, and a small brass pen that one could write on the negative, which is where I think the "copyright" message came from. (11/26/98)

Brian Underwood writes: "I think I figured out how those people made the ghost photos that are on the website. They are made when the flash reflects off of cigarette smoke in front of the camera. I've attached a couple of Polaroid photos that I took last night. You can clearly see that my pictures look just exactly like the ghost pictures." (11/17/98)

And then you get something from Susan, a Realtor, who writes: "I am enclosing a photo that I took of a property here some time ago. Is it a ghost? I scanned it and it has not been modified in any way except to crop the excess background. No one was smoking in the house when the photo was taken. I have one similar photo with a similar ghostly image taken in another room, but several other photos came out fine with no ghostly image. We did not notice anything unusual in the house when taking the pictures. The home sold before this roll was developed so we didn't see this photo until sometime later." (11/17/98)
