Walter Ferguson Ghost
« on: Feb 18 2008 - 08:08PM »
This is a interestion old picture, what makes it so unique is that this was shot with a Polaroid camera.  So there is no way it could be a double exposure or a hoaxed picture.


This photo was taken on November 16, 1968 when Robert A. Ferguson, author of Psychic Telemetry: New Key to Health, Wealth, and Perfect Living, was giving a speech at a Spiritualist convention in Los Angeles, California. Faintly appearing next to Ferguson is a figure that he later identified as his brother, Walter, who died in 1944 during World War II. At first glance, this might seem to be a double exposure or some kind of darkroom trickery, but this photo is a Polaroid (one of several taken of Ferguson at the time), making any kind of hoaxing quite unlikely.

Always remember.........Just because you have never seen something, does not mean that something does not exist.

Yes and even though the ghostly figure looks very similar to the man he is quite different in suttle ways. The face is fuller on the ghost and the ears aren't as prominent.  So it makes sense that it would be his brother. Since they are similar and yet different.....just like brothers!

Its a shame that polaroid isnt going to make any more cameras and film just all digital.

I was thinking the same thing Colleen!  Especially with the ears  :iagree:

It never even occurred to me about the polaroids!  What a good idea to help decifer is something is faked or not.  Can you picture a  bunch of people at BG with big old polaroid cameras?  :57:

its not a double exposure, their hair lines are different, also the jackets or suits dont match. There are many differences, even the faces are different proportions. COOL PIC
