This photo was taken at my sisters wedding last summer, and really shook the whole family when we finally got it developed. We're trying to find out who this faint image could be, but my elderly grandmother swears it's her father (my great-grandfather). I don't know what to think, and I'd be curious to hear experts opinion on whether or not this could be some residual image from the camera's film cartridge, or possibly an apparition of some kind. Also, I have no idea what in the heck all those white blotches are on the photo! They are all over about half of the pics taken that day. Thank you for any help you could give!

I'd have to see the original Photographs, negatives and the camera the images were taken with before I could offer an opinion, so I can only speculate. A "residual image" on a roll of film is impossible unless it has been double exposed, but a double exposure doesn't look like THAT... Creepy looking pic though. The white spots could possibly be dust or fluff in the air near the lens, giving it the out of focus look. I've debunked a few 'Ghost Orb' pictures myself as simply dust particles near the lens that were illuminated by a crappy flash, or "Vortex" pictures that I reproduced by hanging the camera strap or a piece of string in front of the lens.
There's a possibility as well that the photographer was using a filter over his lens (Possibly a UV) and just didn't clean the crap off of the inside of it first. But the image of the "Ghost" in the background is indeed intriguing. My biggest problem is the "ghost" is in black and white and the rest of the pic is in colour... Any other Photographers' opinions?
