Hello:
Just a quick blog entry today, as I wanted to share this photo with you that I've just listed in My Vintage Photo Shop. The photo fascinates me and spooks me all at once ~
Ooopsie...no longer for sale
I'm not exactly sure what I believe regarding ghosts, but if there's anything that can convince me that they exist, it's this photo. Have a close look to the right of the headstone, just above the M in the name SCHWAM. I'm telling you, there is an image of a tiny woman wearing a white scoop-neck dress sitting on the middle ledge of the headstone. You can't make out a face, but you can see the dress ~ 
The headstone was for the Schwam family. The husband, Ferdinand, was still alive at the time of the photo. However, his wife, Margaret and his 2 year old daughter, Annie, were both already buried at the time of the photo.
What do you think?

FFRREEAAKKYY!!!! Yikes. Your right, fascinating and disturbing all at once!!!
Wow - you home schooled all the way through!!! How wonderful! That is our goal as well. We are absolutely loving it.
To be in charge of your own childs future is how it SHOULD be! They are yours after all!! :)
Thanks for sharing!
i dont know what to think either, although it seems so strange that the figure is positioned right over the word 'wife'!
very spooky indeed, thanks for sharing it!
best wishes to you at this time:)

I think that this is most likely the reflection from whoever photographed the gravestone. If you look the stone is polished in that section.
I believe in ghosts but I think this MIGHT be explainable - however, I could be wrong :-)
Yes, we've tossed around the idea that it may be a reflection of the photographer. But when you view the photo in real life, the perspective is off. That would make the gravestone approx. 12 to 15 feet high. Also, if there were enough light to reflect the photographer on the marble, then there should also be some reflections of the background, like trees and other gravestones. It's fun to guess, isn't it?

Definitely looks like a ghostly figure to me. That is pretty dang cool!
Very cool Kim!!!! I can totally see what you are saying about perspective being off. Wish I had grabbed that one! I did know it was you yesterday and I was so happy to come across your blog. I am a great admirer of your photos AND your art:) Have a wonderful Thursday sweetie! Love, Jamie
interesting image....i have goose bumps!
Neat photo -- it could very well be a spirit -- you don't have to convince me:)
I can see it, and it is a bit spooky. Neat!!
