1. THE SPECTER OF NEWBY CHURCH

Snapped in 1963 at the Newby Church in Yorkshire, England, this photo appears to depict a spooky nine-foot-tall figure wearing a cowl and standing at an altar. Several photo experts have scrutinized the photo and have declared it is not the result of a double exposure or other photographic tricks.(source)

2.THE CREEPY GNOME OF ARGENTINA

This blood-chilling phantom was captured at night on a smartphone in 2008 in the town of General Guemes, Argentina. The event was captured as video—if you want to scare the living bejeezus out of yourself, watch it and listen to the cameraman, Jose Alvarez, screech in terror when he realizes the gnome is jumping around:

THE BABY AT THE GRAVESTONE

Taken by a woman named Mrs. Andrews sometime in the 1940s in Queensland, Australia, this photo clearly shows an infant sitting at a gravestone and looking at the camera. Mrs. Andrews was visiting her teen daughter’s grave. She said she had no idea who the phantom baby is, though. (source)

THE GHOST BEHIND GRANDMA

What was intended to be an innocent color photo of Denise Russell’s grandma in 1997 also shows a man behind her who bears a striking resemblance to grandma’s husband, who had been dead since 1994. (source)

THE GHOSTLY GRIP

Snapped in Manila in 2000, this shot reveals two smiling Filipinas—as well as a creepy specter grabbing one the girls’ arms. (source)

THE HAND ON THE BUREAU

My, what a very nice photo of a lovely Queen Anne-style wooden bureau taken sometime in the early 20th century! Everything’s nice, that is, except for the unexplained phantom hand at the top. (source)
