Mobile Phone App Photos - Can you help?

[Darren]

There are a range of mobile phone apps which overlay ghosts onto images.

We've had a few of these submitted:
griteam.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=photographs&action=display&thread=719

If you'd like to help keep track of these "ghosts" and have such an app on your phone we'd appreciate a picture of just the "ghost" on a plain background with no transparency.
You can post images giving details of software used in the forum or at:

I have been getting a rash of these idiots submitting this "ghost" in various situations myself, and they are actually stupid enough to think I am going to validate the stuff ! Along with the advancments in technology, comes the manipuation of it as well

It's terribly disappointing, isn't it. But photpgraphic evidence has always been suspect, from the time photography was invented. And people always being people, there will always be hoaxes.

Guys this is not limited to just ghosts either. I think we need a database thread (stickied) of all of these overlay images and apps as well as full description of the app(s). IMO, this is getting out of hand and is becoming a genuine problem for researchers and the field in general.

The top image of this thread has been changed to show the 10 "ghosts" available in the free version of one of the apps.

A database of results from this and other apps is currently being worked on by GRI Affiliate teams - in the affiliate section.

More samples can be found in this thread.

Thanks for sharing this information. We haven't received any submissions like this, but I'm sure we will in the future.

UPDATE
The database of all the "ghosts" available in the both the free and paid versions of the main app being used appears in the affiliate section at:

Thanks to all the affiliates who assisted compiling these.

Here's a few samples:

I've had one such I-phone fake submitted twice. Once was from a newspaper! The other thing to remember with these apps is you can superimpose them to really change them up further. That plus another I-phone app to draw and manipulate your image makes the sky the limit.

Good discussion. I had no idea that app existed. Its a shame some people feel the need to decieve.

I've seen this happening quite a bit on other forums. Kids get new apps for their phones and think they're being clever posting on ghost forums. I hope this app cost them a fortune.
