From the person that sent it in:
Here is a photo my friend took on her digital camera, on a coach on our way back from Manchester. Take a look at the orange light to the left of the boy’s head. You can clearly see the face of another young boy. He seems to be wearing an old flat cap, with a shadow from it on the bridge of his nose, and is looking straight at me and my friend.

Ghostly photographs from Hauntings

Again, night mode on a camera or camera phone, as characterised by the golden lines, indicating that either the photographer or subject were not completely still while the shutter was open.

2 gays no ghosties
March 12, 2009 at 9:31 am |
The face looks identical to the face of the guy with the white cap, so its probably some kind of camera double exposure.
March 12, 2009 at 9:39 am |
Look very spooky to me. The face is not identical as the caps has a peak which is facing down on the ghost, and the nose is further away from the cheek.
March 14, 2009 at 8:09 pm |
Are you for real? The reflection of the coke bottle isn’t the same as the coke bottle itself either, does that mean the bottle has a ghost too? LIGHT MANIPULATION. Get off those meds.
March 12, 2009 at 9:45 am |
its the reflection of the boy in the white cap! you can see it clearly, and the orange is just the movement of the camera and lights
March 12, 2009 at 10:04 am |
The camera is on a long exposure. When the flash went it gave us the main image but on some cameras the shutter remains open for a short time afterwards, if the camera is moved an the result is this photo. Look at the light above the subjects, it streaks in the same way the ‘ghost’ does.
March 12, 2009 at 10:47 am |
For those who can’t see it…like i couldn’t for some time, it’s to the left of the boy with the white cap (not his reflection in the window) and up slightly as if sitting in the seat behind and standing slightly. But you can clearly see that it’s just the lights from the bus wavering from slow shutter speed and the give the impression of a face.
March 12, 2009 at 12:44 pm |
Definitely long exposure. The flash creates a bright image, but the shutter is still open, allowing the little light that enters after the flash to create a blurred image. The ghost is actually a second, blurred image of your friend.
March 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm |
Loz, Jon, Maria, I agree. A long exposure creating the ‘ghost’ image, camera moved down adn to the left, then flash goes off. A totally obvious one.
March 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm |
Loz, Jon, Maria, I agree. A long exposure creating the ‘ghost’ image, camera moved down and to the left, then the flash goes off. A totally obvious one.
March 12, 2009 at 2:09 pm |
Yes, it is a long exposure. The Camera went from left to right. You can see this by examining the bus passenger light.
March 13, 2009 at 3:53 am |
Thanks for the correction – the camera was moved down and FROM left to right! It was late here in Thailand and ethanol is a wonderful thing 🙂
March 12, 2009 at 2:50 pm |
I’ve had similar objects appear in photographs. Naturally occurring and will indeed appear on a proportion of all photos taken at some stage in your photographic life

February 1, 2012 at 8:37 pm |
What does that event matter??
February 1, 2012 at 8:37 pm
*even*
March 12, 2009 at 3:49 pm |
The camera moved– you have a double of both boys, the soda bottle, even the van’s interior light.
March 12, 2009 at 7:52 pm |
It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing sunglasses to me. Like out of The Terminator. Maybe the coach is haunted by killer robots from the future.
March 12, 2009 at 8:23 pm |
You get this type of picture when traveling at night at speed. Ive taken quite a few while a friend has driven down the motorway. It makes a great blur and lighting effect.
March 12, 2009 at 9:03 pm |
trick of the light… long exposure my eye! this is real! any fool can see!
March 12, 2009 at 9:10 pm |
I CONCUR WITH GILLIAN! LONG EXPOSURE MY A-SS!!! ALL U HATES IS JUST JEALOUS U AINT GHOST BUSTED A REAL SPOOK!
March 12, 2009 at 9:24 pm |
i have to agree with gillian and nigel, this looks authentic, it looks nothing like the young man in the white cap, look at the facial expression which is very clear- also nobody was sitting behind so how would you explain it being a result of the camera going from left to right Darko? It seems uncanny how much it looks like a face i find it hard to believe that this is merely a trick of the light… spooky indeed sarah!
March 12, 2009 at 9:40 pm |
I’ve been a photographer for many years and its simple to make this using flash and long exposure. Probably a mistake shot in AV mode on the EOS 350D or similar (flash fires yet shutter stays open to compensate for the light). It IS the same person wearing the hat in the “ghost” part of the image, just exposed elsewhere in the shot whist the shutter was open, and the camera would have moved slightly including the subject. Anyone who thinks this is a real ghost probably met Elvis for tea last week.
March 12, 2009 at 9:48 pm |
I MET ELVIS FOR TEA LAST WEEKEND… YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW
July 9, 2009 at 4:22 pm |
How’s he doing these days? I miss him.
March 12, 2009 at 9:54 pm |
WHy is the cap facing down then Mr Clive?! Well bless my soul whats wrong with me?!? Am all shook up from this ghoullayyyyyy boy!!!
March 12, 2009 at 10:05 pm |
ok, thats not funny, but i am having second thoughts about my original analysis of the picture…i’m not completely sure that it is a mistake shot in AV mode on the EOS 350D after all and i am not god so i Dont know fo sho if it IS the same person wearing the hat. MY BAD HOMIES!!
March 13, 2009 at 12:30 am |
I don’t use the term “Homie” my dear imposter 😉 I agree to other replies that the cap is different, but that could change in the time the shutter was open, for instance once the flash fired the other guy probably got up, and possibly the cap moved… Doesn’t sound as “out there” as a ghost hitching a ride on a bus! But to be honest, this is not the best i’ve seen from Wisseman’s experiments 😦
March 13, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Hello can I just say that this is the girl who was there when her friend took the photo speaking! I did not know who ‘Wiseman’ was until I sent it in. The guy did not move for at least ten minutes after the photo was taken, as you can see he has some one sitting on his knee, not too easy to move! And how do you explain the shadow on his nose from the cap? And also the angle of the nose to his cheek is totally different, so I bet now your going to tell me that possibly the boy has moved again and that is the reason of the different angle? If you zoom in on it the face becomes even clearer. Fake photos look more fake the closer you get, this one looks more human the closer you get.
March 13, 2009 at 4:29 pm |
I’ve looked at this in PS and with my experience in Photography, my mind is made up that this is simply a long(er) exposure than anticipated with an interesting outcome. In regards to the Wiseman comment, it was simply an observation about this site and nothing personal to those who have sent their images. Wiseman’s experiments are usually not a string of potentially “unusual” photographs presenting themselves as paranormal images. 🙂
March 12, 2009 at 10:39 pm |
Clearly it is a ghost, and the “light exposure” is cleary the rest of the ghost escaping from the coke bottle, why cant anybody see the obvious.
March 12, 2009 at 11:26 pm |
I know this ghost boy, he was killed on a bus (this bus…?) by a guy with a knife! I was sat just across from where it happened and saw it all.
Typle in “burnley bus murder” into google and you can see a picture of the boy and read the story for yourself on about the 12th result down. Genuine ghost!
March 14, 2009 at 8:29 pm |
And if you don’t tell 10 people in the next hour you will be run over by a steamroller.
March 13, 2009 at 1:18 pm |
Ghost or not, this is a cool photo. You can play all day with long exposure photos and get nothing interesting.
March 13, 2009 at 2:29 pm |
Gill H, the boy in the photo doesn’t need to stand up for Clive’s explanation to make sense, he just has to tip his head forward. The photo is taken, then the camera moves down and to the right, leaving all those light trails, while the boy tips his head forward. His head leaves a clear impression because his hat is a light colour, but if you look you can see the coke bottle has done the same thing, leaving a ghostly after image of itself in the middle of the photo.
March 13, 2009 at 4:25 pm |
Agreed… thats what I was getting at, I was tired 😉
March 13, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I just thought: “Some caffeine would wake him up, like in a coca cola” So I don’t know if we’ve proven the existence of ghosts, but apparently I’ve just demonstrated the existence of subliminal advertising…
March 13, 2009 at 4:08 pm |
That orange streak is from the light. you can see it starts from the light. My mate took a picture of his street and there used to always be yellow streaks like that.. it’s from the light. He took loads and they all showed the same thing.
March 13, 2009 at 7:25 pm |
its funny how the ghost has the same Nose , lips and Hat as you !
couple of daft lads !!!
March 14, 2009 at 7:59 am |
I’ve seen better streaks in my tighty-whities.
March 14, 2009 at 8:38 am |
It’s funny how some people are obviously a bit stupid. This is obviously just movement of the camera.
March 14, 2009 at 11:43 am |
Something jogged the camera, probably the movement of the bus. Nothing paranormal here at all, I’m afraid.
March 14, 2009 at 1:00 pm |
I find it incredible that anyone would think there was something other than a straight-forward, obvious explanation for this. If there are people willing to believe anything of a image that is double exposed, over-exposed or results from movement then this whole exercise is pretty futile.
March 14, 2009 at 1:42 pm |
It’s simple, really. Some people are stupid and, rather than being able to discern rational causes, they simply believe everything they can’t understand is something f*cking paranormal. In the instances on this particular website, it seems to me that the photographers appear to be less than adequately knowledgeable about photography and so have no grasp on what could logically be causing their “ghosts” to appear when THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AROUND, I SWEARS!!!1!!!
March 14, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Hey Ryan and John.
FUCK YOU! YOU ARSEHOLES!!! More like people with such closed shitty tiny minds cant possibly concieve the idea that theres something bigger and more important than our young human species on this planet, and rather than opening these tiny ignorant minds would like to explain everything away with ‘tricks of light, long exposure, people moving, bus moving’ than to consider just for a second that we are in no way shape or form alone on this planet. And rather than thinking of this as an option they want to use technological explanations to make themselves feel safe and sure of their own utterly important minute lives.
Fair enough say what you think it is.
But dont start calling the people who took the photo stupid just because their ideas about life are different to yours. Bet you’ve both got tiny knobs as well yeah?!
March 14, 2009 at 1:39 pm |
I can’t even find the alleged “ghost” in this one, but I suspect Anise is spot-on with the explanation.
March 14, 2009 at 4:11 pm |
the outline of the “ghost boy” is the exact same as the real boy on the left hand side of the photo. the light streaking matches the camera motion.
March 14, 2009 at 5:03 pm |
Moving vehicle, long exposure, bright lights.
March 14, 2009 at 7:05 pm |
GET A FUCKIN LIFE THE LOT OF YA! can’t believe u’s are all bitching about a fuckin photo…. meowww ryan u fuckin knob
March 14, 2009 at 7:10 pm |
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON A GHOST PAGE IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN THEM?! AND WHO THE FUCK ARE ALL OF YOU TO SAY THERE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS! DID U INVENT THE WORLD?! JUST COZ YOU HAVEN’T EVER SEEN ONE THEIR NOT REAL?! YEAH THATS A GREAT WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE. YOU DONT KNOW IT ALL, YOU CANT KNOW IT ALL. NONE OF YOU HAVE DIED YET SO YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER IT. DO YOU!?
HOW NARROW MINDED AND STUPID ARE ALL OF YOU IF YOU ONLY SEE WHATS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.
‘It’s funny how some people are obviously a bit stupid’ Listen to you all belittling anyone that thinks theres the ghost of a boy in this photo. Why do you all want to deny the existence of ghosts so badly? Does it make you scared to think there is such a thing?
Erm fuck off get a life and let people see what they want to see. Better yet shove all your cameras up your fat arses coz I bet that would be a better picture than any you’d ever take.
March 14, 2009 at 7:46 pm |
well said nige
March 14, 2009 at 8:37 pm |
Long exposure, that’s all. No need for people to get so defensive!
March 15, 2009 at 7:00 pm |
chilling, we know these too ended up snogging….

Seneca is quoted as saying “Drunkenness does not create vice; it merely brings it into view.”
Whilst as true as it was 2000 years ago, try subsituting ‘idiocy’ for ‘vice’ and ‘the internet’ for ‘drunkeness’
🙂

Well, they might be ugly, yes… but they are not dead yet! so, no ghosts!
March 20, 2009 at 6:20 pm |
Não vi nada de fantasmagórico nessa foto. Ela foi tirada dentro de um ônibus, que provavelmente estáva em movimento.
funciona mais ou menos como na lei da inérsia de newton.
O ônibus arrancou + a luz permaneceu em seu lugar.
Simples assim.
March 20, 2009 at 6:46 pm |
Hey Ho, let´s go!!!
March 20, 2009 at 7:42 pm |
I see gay people.

March 21, 2009 at 2:17 pm |
only two gays and a diet coke… no ghosts!
March 22, 2009 at 1:32 pm |
Why people think others are stupid?
It is only high exposure + the light on bus roof.
March 23, 2009 at 9:46 pm |
light
March 24, 2009 at 3:59 am |
This spirit that was caught by the camera has been with you guys for about four years after his death, he will leave when he gets ready, for now he needs the neural living energy donated by you guys so that he gets to easy his suffering. It´s been very hard for him to give up our world´s sensations he can only get from living people loved by him.
March 26, 2009 at 4:33 am |
It’s better to send that photo to ” looking for fags”. ghosts, forget it.
March 26, 2009 at 9:35 pm |
Most modern cameras undertake a balancing act to automatically get acceptable shots in many conditions – however most fall down in low light situations.
Although the image contains no EXIF data I suspect the camera has automatically given an excessive exposure time.
After the flash fired (typically 1/1000th second) the shutter remained opened for a short time, shooting in the dark. Even slight camera movement would force any points of light to trail. It is common for the photographer to move the camera downward after the flash, thinking the shot is over, with most exposures ranging from 1/2 – 4 seconds.
A tripod would prevent the camera moving, if this is not feasible increase the camera’s ISO setting or aperture – this will force a reduction in the shutter speed.
Also see: http://ghostresearchinternational.com/userphotos.htm for other photos showing the effect.
March 28, 2009 at 5:34 pm |
Is that really coke u’re drinking dude? that might help explain the ghosts u’re seeing!
March 28, 2009 at 6:23 pm |
The boy ghost is the face of your friend and it is looking at the camera………….this is normal and mostly happens at night with bright lights.
March 31, 2009 at 4:32 pm |
I think you “Ravers” were on something and this was your acid flashback… Just say “No” next time!

April 1, 2010 at 5:55 pm |
HOW IS THAT A GHOST?????
April 2, 2010 at 10:20 am |
Nothing to do with ghosts, if not the photographer is one. The picture is clearly taken using a flashlight. The shutter time of the camera, however, is longer than is needed for the flash-light, resulting in the light phenomenon in this picture.
May 18, 2010 at 12:38 am |
BEWARE THE DEADLY DIET COKE GHOST!! oooOOOOOOOooooOOOOO!!!
September 10, 2010 at 10:33 pm |
longer exposures give you tracers not ghosts, unless you believe tracers are ghosts (which they are not)
September 13, 2010 at 5:49 pm |
WHY ARE YOU ALL GAY BASHERS?! stupid biggots

So to summarise, basically you are saying that it’s a real ghost, probably lives in a cave in the Wetheral area, speaks an ancient dialect, yeah?
July 9, 2011 at 8:24 am |
This is not real at all. I accedentally do this with my dslr camera all the time when it is on night mode and the shutter goes slow.
October 2, 2011 at 7:35 am |
its 1 homo ghosts
December 16, 2011 at 3:33 pm |
Please do not drink any more diet products for your pants are falling off your ass. Manchester huh? I bet with all the exstacy you folks did you were seeing those streaks of light with your own eyes. Good photo though!
February 3, 2013 at 3:27 am |
haha look at the fags drinking diet coke.. hows the butt sex you fags?
