    Are ghosts real? No one knows for sure, but here's our third installment of ghostly, unexplained photos that make you wonder if apparitions are all around us.

    Ghost of Sach's Bridge

    This is a photo of the Sach Bridge at the Gettysburg National Battle Field. It appears that in one of the triangles on the right side, you can see a face. Perhaps it's the remaining spirt of an old soldier.

    Wedding Dove

    This is an image taken from an indoor wedding. The photographer noticed what appeared to be a dove flying inside the church. There weren't any doves at the wedding. However, the bride's grandmother had died three months before the wedding occurred. She desperately wanted to attend, and maybe she did.

    Bedridden Boy 

    This photo was taken at the Worley Inn bed and breakfast in Dahlonega, Ga. in 1999. The owners were looking for a few pictures for their new website a few years later, and stumbled upon this image of what appears to be a young boy laying on one of their beds. The owners assume it to be the Ghost of Claud Worley, who was killed in 1800 after being struck by a train.

    The Gray Lady Ghost

    This photo was taken in Kramer, Pa. in 1977. No one was aware of a ghostly presence and the gray lady only appeared in the photo.

    Basement Apparition

    This image was taken in the basement of a house that had been experiencing strange activity. The residents claimed that there were disembodied voices throughout the house, blankets ripped off beds, doors slamming and several accounts of footsteps roaming the hallways. This picture sealed the deal for the home owners, who frantically moved after seeing this startling image.

    Myrtle's Ghost 

    This is a curious photo taken in Onawa, Iowa at the Onawa Public Library. The image in the window is rumored to be the ghost of Myrtle, the old librarian. Maybe you should return that book on time...

    Cemetery Ghost Hand

    This is a photo that a woman took of her daughter while visiting Forest Lawn Cemetery. It appears that whoever's grave she was sitting on didn't want his visitors to leave.

    The Unknown Passenger

    This photo is from Buffalo, N.Y. The blue Volkswagen Beetle belonged to the girl who owned this house. She suffered a bad car accident and had to part ways with her car. The man standing next to it in the picture bought it, refurbished it and brought it over to show her. Delighted, she asked if she could take a picture of him next to it, in front of her new car. When the photo was developed, a person was visible sitting in the backseat of her new car. No one was there at the time of the photo.

    Child by the Water

    This photo was taken in Australia, and it appears that the man photographing this beautiful scene wasn't alone. It looks to be a young girl in a white dress, who even seems to be posing for the photo. What do you think? Strange lighting or a former model striking a pose?

    Woman in the Window

    This old house is in central Oklahoma, and has been abandoned for quite some time. A resident of a nearby town was out for a drive and thought she would take a picture of the spooky old building. She laughed to herself how silly it would be if someone were watching from inside the house. If you look closely at the second story window, it appears that there was.

    Demon in the Dark

    This was taken by a woman who was taking an evening stroll in her local park. She was reviewing a few pictures she had taken, when she noticed a misty haze in some of the photos. She then noticed this pair of glowing eyes in one of the last images she captured. Apparently, this was a picture of wall at the end of the park, where there are no lights or lamps nearby, so what is the explaination for this daunting pair of eyes?

    Ghost in the Cubicle

    This is a photo of a few co-workers in the early '90s at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Over the woman's left shoulder, there appears to be another person facing the camera. However, the office that would have been occupied at the time of the photo was not being used. What is the explanation of this phenomenon?

    Ghostly Face

    This is a photo that a 12-year-old girl took of a collage hanging in her room. Upon examination of the photo, it appears that a face is visible in the bottom left corner of the collage. The family lost a stillborn child 10 years prior, and suspect that to be who was present in the room.

    Rachel and the Ghost

    Here is a photo from a farm out in Dale, Texas. Rachel's mother wanted a picture of her and her friend to commemorate the nice summer evening, but it seems that they weren't the only two enjoying the night. It looks as though someone is, or was, sitting right in between them.

    Sammie's Ghost

    This is a photo that was taken of a young woman simply sitting on the couch. She and the man who took the photo were the only two in the room at the time, and did not see the strange, cloud-like substance that's so prominent in the image. After it was developed, Sammie was so frightened that she ordered the photo to be ripped up.

    Ghost on the Stairs

    This was taken in an old house that was built in the 1850s. The owner of the house reported strange noises coming from the stairs every night. I guess now we know why.

    Shadow on the TV

    This seemingly normal photograph was taken after a couple moved into a new house together. It seemed normal. That is, until they noticed the skeleton-like figure in the television reflection.

The figure in the photo of the two girls from Texas was taken on the Iphone and the little girl in the background is from a "Ghost App" that allows you to place ghosts in your pictures.

While I am strong believe in the paranormal and have had several personal experiences, I also do enjoy debunking paranormal experiences.

1. It looks like a piece of dust or a lense flare. I don't even see anything that resembles a "face"

2. Does not even look like a dove. Looks like some smoke or a lens flare. I mean there is a light right next to it.

3. Georiga didn't have a railroad until 1836. With that "historic" error, I can deduce they just took a picture of their family member and with the noticable lens flare they tried to make a quick buck off it by saying its paranormal.

4. Its obviously a painter's coat hanging from the ladder.

5. I see a thumprint smudge

6. I see nothing more than discoloration from the photograph having a grainy effect to it.

7. Dirt that was kicked up from the girl moving her foot before the photograph was taken.

8. I've seen this photo before it was rendered a hoax.

9. All I see is the reflection of the sky and trees from above in the water.

10. There is nothing there. Just nothing. No face, no head, nothing.

I would continue, but hell, no need to. Every photo here can be debunked. These are just the more... obvious ones.

picture 6 there is nothing there just an illusion due to the shadows lol...All of these and I mean ALL of them can easily be debunked...the majority are camera errors or due to fault of the users...people should learn about cameras before trying to call everything a ghost. I am a believer but tehre is nothing to believe in these.

This is stupid. Half of these pictures are too blurry to see anything. Picture 20 especially, A skeleton in the reflection of the TV or... and I know this is really improbable, but MAYBE the TV was on! This is fail.

Looks like a giant crack in the wall to me. Or, as someone else posted, smoke. Big whoop.

The Mt Shasta drive looked like bird doogie on the windshield. The only message I'm seeing is to wash your car.

It's probably that the camera operator or someone standing close was smoking.
