Hi Everyone
Anyone else intrigued by ghosts in photography?
I just came across this website when I was looking at a news article about the Edinburgh Scinece Festival coming up. Prof Robert Wiseman is collecting photographs of ghosts and studying them for the festival... he is a sceptic and usually explains them as tricks opf the light etc, but there's lots of photos on the website, some are really interesting and some he is finding hard to explain, so thought I'd share.
Just a comment on Wiseman. Purely from memory, I don't recall that he's a sceptic, but just a researcher who does things scientifically?

Interesting! We are far from knowing everything ...
V, you are quite possibly correct, I do not know too much about him! I think that was just my (wrong) presumption that most scientific researchers are generally sceptical about the existence of Ghosts or anything else not explained currently by science, but when I think about it I know of quite a few who are quite open minded to the possibility! Scientific enquiry is a funny old world.
Hi C-George,
Yes, I'm pretty sure (I could easily use Google but never mind). I was for some years involved in parapsychological research, on the fringe, 'til I decided to give up on the science and just get on with the doing. And I seem to recall the name of Wiseman as being, well, quite wise actually. That he gets rid of the explicable, but would then accept the inexplicable.
