Ghosts? Just a couple questions?

Okay so, you know how people supposedly can take pictures of ghosts? Well if only some people can see ghosts, then why can everyone see a ghost if it's in a picture. And how does a camera capture it?

    You have to point out that ghosts are capable of being resumed from cameras or cameras, in fact, ghosts can be present and seen by some people as they can connect it to cameras, etc., our human science to them Comparison is nothing.

    The spirits live beyond our time, they are more evolved than science to humans, spirits know human limitations, but their wisdom is much more advanced than humans of unlimited time.

    So, if you want spirits to be taken up, you can see them, otherwise if the spirits do not want you can put 10 cameras, but they go prominently in front of every human instrument.

    A clever question. We simply don't know. The camera often shows entities that were not present to the naked eye. We only see in a small area of the spectrum. Anything outside of that light frequency remains invisible. If you think your toilet bowl is clean, take another look with a UV torch in the dark. You will see just how filthy it is. Using infrared we can see things in the dark that we could never normally see.

    All my ghost pictures were made using an Agfa Silette 35mm camera on a tripod, loaded with slow (64 ASA) film and with wide aperture (f16, IIRC) at twilight. That meant an exposure of about 3 seconds was required. The long exposure allowed for timing 1.5 secs, then holding a piece of card in front of the lens while the model (a live action role-play fan friend in his costume) stepped into shot, then uncovering the lens while he posed for another 1.5 sec before the shutter was closed (a cable release was used to avoid shaking the camera). The result was some fine images of a transparent medieval warrior.

    Good question, and one paranormal investigators still haven't solved. Spirits are not often seen and even less photographed, but I believe that one method of them becoming visible is that they attract dust, mist or airborne particles similar to other sources of static charge. Thus it is the dust you see not the spirit itself. This can be photographed.

    Often in these images the spirit is missing a head or more often feet, which may be because the dust would rather be attracted to the floor than the charged spirit, or there may be a local draught.

    This would explain why they are most often seen in dusty areas such as attics and basements, or misty areas at night.

    They are Phenomena we CALL "Ghosts", that may only last a few seconds at most and consist of minor natural electric or atmospheric phenomena our present day Science has not gotten around to explaining yet. The phenomena, when not a hallucination, is usually physical such as a cloud of water vapor or or electric corona discharge, of currently unknown origin or exogenesis ---Which would be photographical by virtue of its physicality---especially if one has time to study the photograph----but of too short duration to see physically. Some people might be also able to see into a wider range of spectral colors than others--and see these things when others cant---Camera sensitivity also exceeds that of the eye to certain frequencies.

    We are talking REAL phenomena here---but not necessarily REAL "Ghosts"---we just have a human habit of attributing stuff we don't understand to "ghosts and spirits" even though there is no reason to do so. Modern Science has explained most everything we encounter in day to day life--so we do not see as many "Ghosts" today----But still we do not have perfect knowledge YET----Short term randomly occurring phenomena is very hard to study---being a partial reason. Magnetic disturbances, temperature fluctuations and lights in the electrical spectra strongly suggest something "Natural" and Science explainable, but we simply have not got those answers yet.

    Please understand that not everyone brains is capable of seeing a ghost and translating that picture of a Ghost, For some people can only see a shadow figure, while other people around them can see an actual ghost............

    Ghosts don't reflect photons like normal objects, they convert them to bootons through a process called spookosynthesis. Only some people's eyes can pick up these bootons, but a camera can capture them and convert them to an image the same as it does with photons.
