This is a family picture from the 1930s, New Zealand. While the ghost standing near the top center of the screen might not be noticeable to us right away, apparently it haunted this family for years.

She would frequent their bedside table or the end of their bed, just standing in one place. There's no backstory to who they think she is, but nonetheless, it's creepy.

This picture was taken on black and white film with a 1880s western outfit, but the picture was taken in 2012. Once the photographer got the film delivered to the drug store they realized they hadn't been alone. A man seems to be kneeling on the ground, with no legs visible.

This picture was taken by professional photographer Neil Sandbach in England. He was taking some preparatory pictures for an upcoming wedding and he caught a child dressed in white.

This wasn't the first time this little girl was seen on the farm he was shooting. She was probably just mad about not being old enough to get an invite to the party.

Let's not pretend that we know what this thing is in the picture. It was taken by a reverend at the Skelton-cum-Newby Church of Christ the Consoler.

The picture was sent to Kodak for photographic tampering tests and they came back negative. Although this picture was taken in 1966, this isn't the only time there have been ghost sightings reported here. A man was seen miles away from his funeral sitting in a chair. The picture is coming up and it's horrifying.

This picture was taken in 1936 at the Raynham Hall in Norfolk England. Legend has it that the subject of this picture is Lady Dorothy Walpole whose death still remains a mystery.

She died in 1729 and has been spotted many times since in the Hall. I can cross going to Norfolk England off of my bucket list. Not because I've been, but because I never will after seeing this.

This picture was taken in Combermere Abbey Library in 1891. You can see a man sitting down on a chair. It's believed to be Lord Combermere.

He was killed after getting struck by a horse-drawn carriage and it's said that his funeral was taking place just a couple of miles away at the time this photo was taken. The jury is out whether this ghost just ahead is a cat or a person. My money is on cat.

Never Skip Leg Day

These pictures were taken just seconds apart and if you look at the chair you'll be able to see a slight difference.

It looks like there's something sitting in the chair. All I have to say is that this thing obviously skipped leg day at the gym a lot because those things are tiny.

I don't know about you, but if I see this picture I'm 100% NOT going to that school. On the bright side, she seems like a happy ghost. People who've seen her say that she's always dancing. Good for her.

Just by taking a quick glance at this picture, I've determined that this is a floating cat or at least that's what it looks like to me.

The only thing that's creepier than a human ghost is a cat ghost. I could only imagine that those things would be malicious to no end. Coming up: a ghost that looks like it's either on the glass or just outside of it. Be warned: it's uncomfortable to look at.

I know that we're probably supposed to be paying attention to the figure in the background, but can we talk about what's happening in the foreground first?

ADVERTISEMENT

What is on this guy's head and why did he deem it necessary to take a selfie? It's anti-funny. On another note, that grandma/maid/woman in the background is terrifying.

Is It On The Window Or Standing Outside?

This was taken on a Blackberry a few years ago and it's baffled the people who took the picture to this day.

The shape is very confusing and the angle to which it's seen is also bizarre. There was nothing outside when they went to check out the scene afterward.

I just hope this little kid didn't turn around and notice that he had E.T. following him closely behind.

I don't know if E.T. was trying to blend in by wearing some sort of turtleneck clothing, or if he was just interested in a dope photobomb — nonetheless, you're not fooling anyone.

In fact, I'd demand that my family moves not just out of the city, but to Mars or somewhere else really drastically far away.
