About this rating


The concept of "spirit photography" — pictures that capture images of ghosts and other spiritual entities not visible to the human eye — has been around since the mid-19th century.

Hey guys, attached is a picture that a family member of ours sent us. One of their nephews took this picture on his cell phone at Larry's Mexican Restaurant in Richmond, Texas! It pretty clearly shows a little girl [ghost] next to the gumball machine... pretty neat!
