5. Car

This picture was taken in the 1960s, when a family had just purchased a new car. As they were showing it off for the camera, the face of a man mysteriously appeared in the back window of the other car in the driveway. There was nobody in either car at the time, so it was a shock for them to find they had taken an apparent ghost picture. What made it even more of a shock was that the face looked very much like the deceased father of the man posing for the picture.

Hull House, Chicago ghost photo, June, 2007. A couple doing a ghost tour snapped this pic using a cell phone with no flash. Hull House was a settlement house in the United States that was co-founded in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr. While a great many erroneous stories have circulated about the building, Addams is known to have spoken to several friends about one of the front bedrooms on the second floor being haunted – she and a friend once thought they saw a “woman in white” ghost there, and the same ghost was later seen by a group of girls when the room was used as a dressing room for the adjacent theater.

1. Pink Lady
