Ghostly Photos That Will Keep You Up at Night, Vol. 2

Ghosts of the SS Watertown

James Courtney and Michael Meehan were on the crew of the SS Watertown. In 1924, the ship was en route to the Panama Canal from New York City when the two men were killed by gas fumes in a freak accident while cleaning a cargo tank.  

In the day's following their deaths, crew members began reporting seeing two faces in the water following the ship. The captain took six photos one day when they were sighted again. Five of the photos showed nothing but water, but the final image clearly showed the faces of their two fallen comrades.

Watch a video of the story:

The Pink Lady of Greencastle

This is an image of the O'Hare Mansion in Greencastle, Ind. Guy Winters went with a friend to photograph the "haunted" mansion, and was shocked to find this image in the film. It has been digitally enhanced to display the image of a skull peering through a window.

Madonna of Bachelor's Grove

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery near Chicago is rumored to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world. Ghost Research Society member Mari Huff was there in 1991, taking high-speed, black-and-white photographs with an infrared camera. After they were developed, the image of what was a bare grave appeared to have a visitor.

The Godfather's Pizza Ghost

There were several strange occurrences at a new Godfather's Pizza in Ogden, Utah in 1999-2000. They included the sighting of spirits (a man, a woman, and two boys), a jukebox playing by itself (even when unplugged), tile floor hovering 10 inches above the floor, and a mysterious whistling sound from the kitchen.

This photo was taken one night when a misty figure appeared in the middle of the room for a few minutes, then abruptly disappeared. 

The Farm Ghost

This photo was taken by a wedding photographer who was taking pictures of a farm where a couple was preparing to wed in a few days. He was surprised to find this image of a glowing, child-like figure.

The photographer asked the farm owner if there was ever any suspicious activity, and the owner claimed to have seen a figure of a young boy wandering the ground in white night clothes.

Grandpa's Ghost

This is a photo of Denise Russell's late grandmother. Years after her passing, she and other family member's were going through old photos and found this one. It was taken only a few years prior, but what was shocking was the image resembling her late grandfather behind her. He died 10 years before the photo was taken. 

The Haunted Bureau

This photo was taken by a furniture collector who admired the bureau's crafstmanship. She was shocked to find that a hand seemed reluctant to part with the piece of furniture.

Hooded Ghost in Boothill

Strange occurrences are common in the Boothill Cemetery. This is a photo of a man at the site, with a figure appearing behind a bush in the background. It doesn't appear to be a ghost at all, but notice its shadow. There isn't one.

Ghost in the Cabin

This is a picture of a 180-year-old cabin that is rumored to be haunted. A girl, her brother and some friends were exploring the spooky site one afternoon when she decided to take a photograph. We're willing to bet that after it was developed, they decided to never return.

The Phantom Pilot

This woman went to visit the Fleet Air Arm Center in Yelverton, Somerset, England in 1987. When this photo was taken, the woman was the only one in the old helicopter. However, she did say that she felt strangely cold while sitting there, even though it was such a hot day.

Robert A. Ferguson

This is a photo of Robert A. Ferguson, author of "Psychic Telemetry: New Key to Health, Wealth, and Perfect Living" on Nov. 16, 1968. Ferguson was speaking at a Spiritualist convention in Los Angeles when this image was taken. Ferguson believed the ghostly figure in the image to be his late brother Walter, who died in 1944 in World War II.

The Ghost of the Seven Gables

This was taken at the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Mass. It seems that there is a small boy appearing over the fence, in the bushes. The house belonged to Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the ghost is rumored to be his son, Julian. It plays with the legend that the Hawthorne family was cursed by a women who was hanged during the Salem witch trials.

Class Picture

This is a photo of a simple day that we can all remember vividly growing up: class picture day. However, for this class, it appears that there was someone unaccounted for on the roll sheet.

The Watcher

This is a photo that was taken in Australia in 1959. There appears to be a semi-transparent woman searching for something, but what?

The White Lady of Worstead Church

In 1975, Diane and Peter Berthelot visited Worstead Church in Norfolk, U.K. with their 12-year-old son. Peter took a picture of his wife sitting in the pew, praying. She was alone at the time, or so she thought.

The Hospital Ghost

In this mysterious 1918 photo, two men are pictured working on renovations for this old and supposedly empty hospital. However, if you look at the top of the balcony to the left, you will see that someone didn't appear to be ready to "check out."

The passengers in this vehicle were able to make it away safely. So, was this an angel guarding them, or the final appearance of the passenger in the other vehicle, who wasn't so lucky?

In 1947, a woman named Mrs. Andrews went to visit the grave of her deceased daughter, Joyce, who died at the age of 17 one year earlier. Mrs. Andrews was stunned to find the image of this small child on her daughter's grave. 

She insisted that this was not her daughter as an infant. Upon further investigation, it became known that her daughter was burried next to two infant girls. 

This photo surfaced during the most brutal war our nation has ever faced: the Civil War. It appears this man is ascending the stairs. He appears to be a soldier. 

Ghost of Coventry Spectre

On Jan. 22, 1985, the Coventry Freeman Organization was having dinner at St. Mary's Guildhall in Coventry, England. Everyone in the photo had their heads bowed in prayer, including the tall, hooded figure in the top left. No one at the dinner could recall seeing a man dressed like this. 

The Dying Man

Someone took a photo of this man while he was nearing his final hours. No one could explain the white, orb-like figures that appeared over him. Could they be the spirits of a dying man leaving his body?

Electric Chair Ghost

An engineer named Fred Leuchter was hired by the state of Tennessee to evaluate and update its electric chair. The chair was being used for the state's executions, and it was made out of wood that was a part of the state's old gallows.

After photographing the chair, Leuchter found a few ghostly images. One resembles a face in agony, and another image of a ghostly hand appears on the right arm rest. Perhaps the chair, or the gallows, did not finish the job.

The Ghost of Hampton Court

The 16th-century palace, once home to King George VIII, had a very spooky afternoon when an alarm sounded at around 1 p.m., signaling that fire doors were opened.  Upon investigation, guards found the doors closed. When they checked the security footage, this is what they found.

The video displayed the doors flying open with no one in sight. Then, this hooded figure appeared and slammed the doors shut. This occurred three days in a row, except the ghost never surfaced again. 

The White Lady

Believers of a myth in Quezon City, Philippines say that a woman in white with long black hair and a face obscured by blood will stand in the middle of the road on Balete Drive.

Locals avoid driving there at night, especially without a full backseat of passengers. The legend states that if there is one empty seat in the back of the car, the White Lady tends to hitch a ride, much to the driver's dismay when they peer into the rear-view mirror.

Ghost in the Choir Loft

This photo was taken in 1982 at London's St. Botolph's Church. It was taken by photographer Chris Brackley, who claimed that there were only three people in the church at the time, and none of them were in that loft. 

Brackley was contacted later that the image of the woman resembled one that a man had seen in a coffin at that very church.
