Photo of Ghost in the Palace?

Picture is too small, but it looks pretty solid for a ghost.

Ghosts don't exist. The photo is a hoax.

Since when do ghosts use the door handle?

I wonder how many loons actually see something like this and believe ghost exist.

One thing I've always wondered about ghosts is how they get their clothes. Are the clothes also ghosts? Is there a wardrobe department for the ghosts? Is it clothes they were particularly fond of when they were alive?

The ghost in this picture seems to have a pretty good coat, covering most of its body, and also the head. It seems a tad bit unnecessary for a ghost to wear a hood like that, since they can't really get cold (I assume).

Hauntings happen different ways. One of the theories about how apparitions work is that intense psychic energies are absorbed by surrounding materials and then those intense moments are "played back" when the conditions are right. It goes to explain why most ghosts don't seem to notice when people are around and why they repeat the same things over and over again, usually some moment of intense distress or other emotion. Stone with a high quantity of silica in it seems to be one of the best receptors though woods and metals can do the same thing (so the theory holds).

Do ghosts need to use doors? Likely not. But if the doors are part of the haunting then the movement of the door would be part of the playback. Clothes and other personal articles are seen because they are between the body and the recording objects at the time the recording occurs.

Not all ghosts are flimsy, whispy apparitions. Plenty appear quite solid and just as life-like as a real person. Like any recording, the quality of the recording is variable.

It is one thing to doubt the existance of ghosts but to slam the door on any possibility isn't being objective.

Science may not yet have the ability to duplicate ghostly phenomena under scientific means but just because we can't doesn't mean ghosts are an impossibility. Proving a negative is just about the hardest thing to do in any rational pursuit of Truth; ghosts will exist in the human psyche until the end of humankind or until some answer is discovered by science.

Remember, Lister was laughed-at when he tried to explain that invisible microbes were causing infections and disease until science discovered a way to see them.

As to this picture, I don't know what it is but I hope the administrators of the palace will allow sincere investigation by scientists.

For beauty is only a step removed from a burning terror we barely sustain, and we worship it for the graceful sublimity with which it disdains to consume us. - Rainer Maria Rilke

I dont think any real scientists would be interested in this. Maybe they could call those Ghost Investigation Service people that are on Coast to Coast AM all the time playing back the audio recordings they make of ghosts! Which leads me to ask, how can a cheap tape recorder pick up something our ears cant?
