    So I was playing around with a image that PostCardColletor aka PCC had posted just to see what I could do with it and that was not much so I downloaded a few programs to play with and made some progress and made a discovery? Like Ghosts? LOL well we see faces just about anywhere and the more I look the more I find # 5? I either cut off the crop or lost too much detail it is just to the lower right of #4, #6 is a large head with big teeth and a blindfold? or maybe a bandage thing over his nose with big black eyes above LOL
    Image #4 is updated to show the Cartoon alien head LOL and a more clear face peeking from behind the pillar, I cropped to close so you will have to click on it to see (until I fix that)

    you might be able to see them better in the main image just click to enlarge the hold ctrl and tap + to make it even larger BTW ctrl - to return to your original size.
    So do you see any faces? if so how many? I see most above and to the right then 1 or 2 in the vase between the Ladies, but I din't list everything like?
    Alas it's not even Hallows Eve

      LOL. I see all but one. That's funny.
    3. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 8 years ago
      I thought it was.
      Hint the face that is the most clear I didn't list and this one is whole body not just a purdy face.
    4. fortapache fortapache, 8 years ago
      That is a lot of ghosts.
    5. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      OH!his is soooo much fun PoliticalPinbacks. You see, I happen to believe in ghosts seeing one in my bedroom at night sitting in a chair by my window when I was about ten, I startdscreaming and family rushing in, all but one admitting they saw the same manghost in the house, in basement and on stairs--but none admitting it to anyone because of fear they would be thought nuts. When I saw it--all told the same story. So this was a serious family occurance==all but one member, my mom did not see it. We moved out the next day! Realtor said a man hung himself in the basement my dad was renovating!! Real story folks!! and I see a ghost in the picture no one sees and T'll get to that tomorrow. Thanks to all who posted making this a cool day for me on CW! Hugs!!

      How strange is that, it must have been the hung man (not in a good way either)
      I kinda think the black eyed man #2 in the center was drawn in at a later date and the others? LOL No I'll bet this was made during "The Spiritual Movement" and these ladies likely paid good money for a image of them with there dearly departed maybe the 2 girls with a few spooks thrown in for effect, Fun anyhow.
    7. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Yep==we all saw the very same hung man (Hee Hee) --as we talked over for the first time together when I screamed. First my dad came rushing into my room with deep concern!! Of course deeply upset because unbeknownst to others he had seen it too in the basement. So were conference details and spent out last night there. My grandmother saw it gong down the outside stairs to the basement when she went to take down the clothes off the clothesline. She called it an "Elemental" I guess that is what they called ghosts in Ireland--and she was NOT afraid of it like the rest of us. I am so glad you helped us like this!!

      Oh darn! I have to get off my grandson's computer for 2night! and I'm having so much fun!
    9. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 8 years ago
      G-night,
      Anyone notice the heart on her sleeve? ( the one on the right and on her right our left cuff )
      OR how about the cartoon alien? antenna and all LOL just above the head of the little girl #4 on the 1st (large) image
    10. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      I see the little girls fine, but my vision problem does not allow me to see some details.
      All in all, this is such an intrigue--I have never seen and ghost photo anything like it!! There are a whole bunch around these woman.
    11. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      As for your #2 ghos tI couldn't find any drawing on the original tin, I used a magnifying glass, held at many angles and I didn't detect anything added by hand--but who knows?? The eyes look so dark and intense. So strange.

      GHOST PHOTO WITH DIRECTIONS!
    13. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 8 years ago
      I will link your post here and add a image with some others pointed out.
      If you pull up image #1 then hold Ctrl and tap + you can make it much larger ( Crtr- to reduce back down)
      The face that is good and clear is even with the shoulder of the Lady on the right almost at the far right, his body is there too but harder to make out
    14. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 8 years ago
      New Close up #4
    15. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
