I received the following photo from a gentleman named Bob Martin. A few years ago, Martin was reading David McCullough's book Truman, and a photo of construction in the White House caught his eye. It was taken during remodeling around 1950 by National Parks Service photographer Abbie Rowe. The apparent apparition is clear and startling. Compared to the other men in the photo, its size scale is accurate. And if this were due to some motion or long exposure effect, the rest of the photo should be affected, as well.


You'll have to look at the pictures at the link, as PhotoBucket is refusing to work for me right now :(

mmmmmm. LOL I was going to say maybe photoshoped but I dont think thay had photoshopp back in the 1950's. its hard to say if its just a camera trick or if sumones faded the person into the photo. Then again it could be real.

Looks suspicious to me.

Also, McAfee just warned me the site contains malware, so be careful

Interesting shot, The clothing is out of date for the period. He appears to be wearing a hoodie. Personally I'd like to see the original photo with the negative.
Just for the sake of argument, if it is real I'd be more inclined to think it is exposure related, that he walked in and out of the shot during the time the photograph was being taken. The exposure time then during the 50's would have been a lot longer. :)
