17 Famous Ghosts Pictures That Can't Be Explained

1.

Child at the Railroad Crossing. Several children were killed at a railroad crossing located in San Antonia, Texas. Locals will tell you that their ghosts still linger at the spot, and will push idle cars across the track – even though the path is uphill.

Freddy Jackson. A squadron of the Royal Air Force assembled to take a mundane photograph, but after the picture was developed the squad quickly realized that this was no ordinary picture. Standing behind one of his mates was the two days deceased Freddy Jackson. He had been working when he was killed in a freak-accident by an air plane propeller. Several of the other men in the photo confirmed that it was in fact Jackson’s face in the background of the picture.

3.

The Bell Witch. Back in the 1800’s, a Tennessee farmer was reported to be at the mercy of an executed witch. John Bell documented all sorts of harassment, which included noises in the walls, being pinched, slapped, having objects thrown at him and animals being spooked with no visible cause.

The Ghost of Boothill Graveyard. Terry Clanton snapped a photo of his friend dressed as a cowboy in a famous Arizona graveyard.

The Stanley Hotel’s Haunted Piano. Guests have said Flora, an artist who died in this Colorado hotel long ago, returns to play the piano every now and then, and she’s just one of many spotted there. No wonder it inspired Stephen King to write ‘The Shining.’

Disney’s Haunted Mansion Ghost. A 2009 YouTube video — presumably of Disneyland surveillance footage — shows a grim grinning ghost cruising around Diseyland’s Haunted Mansion and Rivers of America areas after hours.
