It's Spooky: Ghost Polaroids

The idea of ghosts appearing through technology is interesting, but also pretty common territory: EVP has been around for years, and many a Coast To Coast episode has been interrupted by one radio-friendly spirit or another. However, drkrm's Seeing Things, goes beyond just interesting.

Seeing Things promises dozens upon dozens of otherwise mundane Polaroids obstructed by inexplicable white distortions. According to the gallery’s website, the white blobs originate from a ghost apparently named “WRIGHT”, who not only appears in images but also eerily written messages. Quote the gallery:

"The messages began to appear on film in June 1992. The first was in response to a friend’s question about the ghost, “Is he here now?” The photo revealed a barely discernible “yes” in cloudy white shapes. After that, the writing became far more legible."

Seeing Things is open through November 2.
