[quote="Syera"]Seeing as how the photo is near-black anyway, there're a gazillion things you could do to make it look haunted. (It's easier to fill in areas with black than trying to fill in lit objects.) As for that 'speck' - if someone in a dark room wore something dark over something light with just a little bit of the light part showing, you'd have an effect like that. Couple it with the fact that the picture is so dark already, and you'd have a disembodied look going on. Another thing - ghost aside, that photo looks horrible. With the exception of some overhead lights and a few reflections, it's dark. With the exception of an amateur photographer who didn't know what he/she was doing, who would take a picture like that, anyway? If the photographer's motive is unclear or questionable, that makes it a good candidate for being faked. You might find this page interesting, by the way... http://ghoststudy.com/monthly/mar06/mar_lesson2006.htm[/quote]
