Ok obviously i didnt take this picture myself, but it is know to be one of the most famous ghost pictures in the world. To start with your eye is attracted to the lady on the stairs which is the Brown Lady. But if you look to the left of the picture, also on the stairs you can see a woman and a child. Take a look:

I have seen the other faces in the pic, very faint, could prove that the pic is not a fake...

The picture is hardly crystal clear clarity and people also have a tendency to point out images and things that are nothing more than random shapes in a picture. I have noticed many things in pictures, curtains you name it if you keep concentrating enough on the subject matter it means nothing at all!
It is a very common mistake that constantly arises in ghost photography. Neutral

This picture is taken at Rainham Hall and it also has two children that haunt it. So this famous picture could really be genuine.

This picture is a classic and has been debated for many years. The general consensus among the likes of Prof Richard Wiseman, Prof Christopher French and Gordon Rutter (and me) is that the Brown Lady is actually light leakage onto the film.

At least this is from the days before Photoshop!

This was actually the first picture that sparked my curiosity into this kind of thing....

Light artifact or light leakage? Possibly, but if it is then it is in a pretty coincidental place. Hard to tell properly but isnt that pretty tall if it was a ghost?
