Spirit Photography

Spirit photography is a type of photography that emerged in the mid-19th century, claiming to capture images of spirits or ghosts alongside living subjects in photographs. Practiced by various photographers, it often involved techniques like double exposure or manipulation to create the appearance of supernatural beings. While initially taken seriously by some as evidence of life after death, many of these photographs were later revealed to be hoaxes. Today, spirit photography is mostly associated with paranormal investigations and the exploration of belief in the afterlife, but it also highlights the intersection of art, photography, and human curiosity.
