Answer 4

If there were such things.Yes you could.The reason you've never seen a good one.Think about it.

Answer 5

No one really knows. The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall is a good photograph of what appears to be a ghost. There are of course skeptical ideas about that photo as well.

The photo could certainly be faked with today's technology but a little more difficult with the glass plates used at the time and a few people would have to be in on a hoax.

Many attempts from normal film to infrared and even ultra violet films have been used and of course thermal imaging cameras are big these days to investigate reportedly haunted locations. These might catch something but I'm sure people are hoping for something invisible to the naked eye that looks like the shape of a human (could this be something other than a ghost - probably but it would be interesting).

Answer 6

Yes...my half brother has a picture of him standing by his step fathers grave marker....and there is a figure standing beside him..He says he was alone when this pic was took and the thought of it being a ghost or spirit creeps him out..

He would leave his family in a haunted house if it meant he got out...though he did say he would yell at them from the front yard to get out of the house.

Answer 7

There is no evidence that ghosts exist, and there are no credible photographs of ghosts. All those that exist are known to be fakes or would have been easy to fake.

Answer 8

sure they can, and I have the pictures to prove it.

Answer 9

It's impossible to say.

The main problem here is that there is no credible evidence for the existence of ghosts in the first place. Since this is the case, asking if they can be photographed is putting the cart in front of the horse.

Almost since the start of photography, ghost photographs have been faked. Today with digital photography and editing it's easier than ever. Someone may say they have a photograph of a ghost, but there is no way to show that the apparition is truly that of a spirit and not due to photographic error, fraud or simply visual pareidolia.

Answer 10

No one has ever taken a photo of a ghost, so it seems unlikely.

Answer 11

If they want to be, then yes.  But yeah it is easy to fake, or have lighting effects fudge your picture... making it look like a ghost.
