Spirit Photography

The actual practice of attempting to capture ghost's on film date back nearly a century and a half to around 1861. Not surprisingly this type of photography was seen to be controversial and the subject of much debate ever since. It appears that the general lack of acceptance of the credibility of spirit photographs dates back to the past where it was riddled with fraud. Strangely though, it is spirit photography that seems to provide the most scientific evidence of ghosts. With the advent of advanced photographic methods it has become easier to capture the ghostly image.It is still unfortunate however that spirit photography of today has been greatly damaged by the reputation of the fraudulent photographers of the past, and the bad name that pertains to them, so making it very difficult for today's ghost hunter to be taken seriously. Just a mention of spirit photography conjures up images of days gone by, a period that was plagued with questionable methods and often humorous results.
