Let me know what you think? It's on the left side inside the bathroom. This was taken by a contractor working on the 2nd floor of the Belvoir Winery in Liberty, Mo where I work. The property is considered the 2nd most haunted place in the state of Missouri.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Why is the so called ghost a desaturated B&W image? Photoshopped?

The so called apparition looks sharper than the surroundings, I'd say definately fake.

I think tricky has hit the nail on the head - the entire image, sans ghost, is quite fuzzy and out of focus...however, the "ghost" is sharp enough to see the patterns and buttons on her dress, and even make out facial details.

If these were taken in the same image, how does that happen?
(it's not even a depth of field issue...there is absolutely no point that is sharp in the image, except for the details on the girl)

Very much a composite done with some post-processing software.

An old friend more than likely will pass on either because of a bad back.

As much as I love ghost stories I agree, it's a fake. Copy of an old picture composited on a cell phone pic, maybe.

Belvoir Winery is a neat place I live in Liberty and did the ghost and grapes tour a while back. Cant wait to see the finished place.

But any way a few iphone apps can produce an image like this. Here is one I took just messing around at Belvoir Winery. Some peoples faces were hilarious when I showed them the picture.

That's because the contractor was focusing on her:) I think he used an f/2.8 for this shot:)lol
