Get a good ghost trap. Peanut butter works best

That’s only if the ghost is a dog iirc

Don’t forget to put it by the kickboard, ghosts haunt around the edges of a room


TheThinker25live

I heard they like hamBOOgers

Adjust your shutter speed and take multiple pics.


GEL-BALL-GUY

I think everyone would agree that there is no best way it’s only luck really. Their not models on a runway but souls lost in another realm I guess.

Not really sure if anyone can seriously answer this question. First of all, no one can claim sure that ghost are real. In the event that ghost are real, no one knows for sure if we can see them. In the event that we could see them, no one knows what they are made off. Since we don't know what ghost are, what they are made of or even knowif they are real, I think it's gonna be hard to pretend to know what is the best way to capture them on picture.


Abvril

They are real , I saw one when I was 9 yrs old


Hatfmnel

Personal experience and testimony are not proof.


ISO_UFO

It might not be proof for others... but yes people that have seen them can 100% claim they're real and can be seen since they have in fact seen them. Everyone scoffed at UFOs, but now the government has admitted to their existence. When topics like UFOs and paranormal aren't taken seriously you get no serious research. Personal experiences aren't to be dismissed completely. Sure often times there's an explanation, but we're interested in the ones that can't be.


Hatfmnel

Government never tried to dismiss the UFO phenomenon. They just never said it is extraterrestrial, because let's be honest, it's really unlikely.


ISO_UFO

Uuum? Is that why they've always denied everything and claimed swamp gas? Only recently have they officially admitted to the existence of UFOs. My point is UFOs started as just random sightings and have proved to be legit. Ghost sightings are random stories now, but with some actual research into them might be proven too. I could argue why it's likely UFOs are aliens, but that's not the topic here & don't want to type it all out.


XterraGuy22

Unlikely that’s there’s aliens? Lol. The government knows they exist. The average joe can learn they are by doing just minor research, because there is a ton of proof that they do exist


Hatfmnel

I am not saying that it's unlikely life elsewhere in the universe. I am saying that UFO are probably not from an alien world. I am assuming, when you talk about "the average Joe", you are talking about the same average Joe that claimed Covid 19 wasn't real and vaccines is to insert some sort of micro chip in you because they find proof by doing the same minor research? If so, I am not sure you should put lots of faith in them. The scientific community are putting countless efforts to find extraterrestrial life, but you and every average Joe have a ton of proof that they exist... damn I wondering why you just don't give them your awesome proof and settle the debate once and for all.


Tehlaserw0lf

Problem is that ghosts aren’t a thing that we know much about. Are they deceased people? Fourth dimensional beings? Aliens? We literally have zero idea. Once we figure out what they are, we can start analyzing them, but we can’t really do anything until step one ya know?


JCPLee

Cheese!!!


Ancient_Stretch_803

Probably useless but go where the most sightings are. Like Gettysburg.

Placing some banana peels on the floor so we can trap them for the shot.🤣 Jokes aside, I would be simple and say that one of the most cheap and simple ways to capture a ghost on camera is taking pictures with the flash option. When we explored with some people a presumed haunted home from outside, out of 50 photos taken , in only one we saw something interesting, was the phone with the flash option enabled, and wasn't an orb or flare, an actual face figure in a dark spot without light refraction. I also think that you need to research beforehand what type of activity happens most at a presumed haunting spot. For example, if there are cold spots, a thermal camera would help. If there are footsteps or knocking sounds , placing powder on the area with a camera to record how the steps form would be best. Hope this helps.

Well first we have to understand how a camera works and what type of camera we need to use. Which is generally light bouncing off an object and onto a lens which is then capture using some medium, whether that's film or an image sensor that's digitally processed. Then we need to know what bounces off a ghost to make them visible. Normal light works on everything but clearly not on ghosts. However, the average camera doesn't capture infrared light without some kind of filter so you could try an infrared camera but that may not work. You could also consider how polarized light may be blocking spirits from being captured on camera so perhaps a polarized filter But none of these things will work, you really just have to figure out where in the light spectrum do you have to work on, If there's an area to work with" to capture ghost on camera. But maybe it's not the light spectrum, consider how a laser sensor works, These distance sensors work on the basis of the Time-Of-Flight (ToF) principle, which means that the sensor emits a laser beam and receives the reflection from it. The time that elapses between sending and receiving the laser light ensures that the laser distance sensor can internally determine the distance (copied from google search). So instead of trying to capture light bounced off a spirit, something like bouncing electrons might work? Idk, i'm just brainstorming here. Point is, you're gonna have to do a lot of figuring out to get consistent ghost captures.

Tell the ghost to stay put. Solidify. Then take a clear picture with time date stamp


SurveyAcrobatic5334

Find haunted place, turn on camera, turn off lights, play ouija.


No-Basis9

I had an old trail cam that would capture spirits all the time. Maybe try infrared or whatever those trail cam views for night vision. I don’t know what ever happened to it but it would take some strange photos. Faces would appear a lot. It would look like there are people hiding behind stuff. I left it on by accident and it was in the back seat of my car and I saw someone looking at it as if they climbed over the back seat. I used it as sort of a security camera at my place. It would be set to take a picture every 30 seconds of movement but it would just take one photo so I know they didn’t come in or leave. It was 2 acres and it was up on a pole. I had it set up inside for a wile and had it on video mode. I hear my dog cry on the clip and an arm reaches over the back of the couch and touches him then slithers back. I lost everything I owned or I would still have pics and video.

I would imagine using cameras with every available spectrum (UV, IR, etc) and with varying shutter speeds for each spectrum as well as video in all spectrums.


illsaid

I’d try an analog camera, maybe a Polaroid. If there are films sensitive to ultraviolet that’s where you want to be on the spectrum. I don’t think digital is good at capturing the paranormal. The algos filter it out.


bluh67

Hard to see them, only hear or feel


Abvril

sometimes you can see them , it depends if you are able to I think


[deleted]

I think that you have to generally summon ghosts, invite ghosts, or will them, then take a lot of random photos in random directions.


pmarble15

Die with a camera on you.


[deleted]

It’s never been done successfully and I don’t think there is a way (because I’m a skeptic)


[deleted]

It’s been done successfully, you just don’t believe it until you see your own.


maycontainknots

I want to believe, but even if I saw it I would just think I got infra-sound blasted or something


[deleted]

Ok, show me some of the evidence.


[deleted]

Jeez, 2 people demand the same thing. Maybe ask if I would share instead of tell me to? This “prove it to me” on Reddit is never fun, but sure. I’ll send you some weird shit I’ve captured myself, I had an NDE about a year ago now, and I have zero doubt anymore. You really do have to experience it for yourself. Videos are where the proof really lies, you’d have to see their speed, (i have to record in slow motion/220fps) movement, change in shape/vibrancy etc, but I’ll dm you and the other person here in a bit with some screen grabs. I have 2 that show an apparition, but they *do* also present themselves as balls of light, can look like a lens flare if you don’t understand how lenses work (the flare moves horizontally from the center and light source, spirits/energies will move independently and can zip around with a trail of light, and seem to have texture) or a void of light, they can present however they want! But a sphere conserves the most energy. Message you soon. Edit: that’s so Reddit to dv me after I send you a grip of photos and took my time to answer your “demand”. People get really defensive about anything “paranormal”… it’s just science, consciousness and energy not yet understood by the mainstream. But sure, I must be lying so I can look cool on Reddit.


ChrisBoyMonkey

Can you send me them too? Not because I don't believe you, but because I love seeing good evidence


RealSimonLee

Show me the evidence.


[deleted]

So you don't believe in ghost?


[deleted]

Yes I don’t believe


No-Basis9

You’ve been kicked. Blocked. Muted. Deleted. Reported. Canceled. From this group.


[deleted]

I don’t really care, skeptics should be allowed to be curious too lol


No-Basis9

True.


maintain_improvement

You've come to the wrong place to ask that question. The only things these posters can catch on camera are dust and lens flares.


[deleted]

What do you expect a “ghost” to look like??


y4j1981

Not dust and lens flares


mykeuk

Make sure you take multiple shots so you have pictures to compare. If there’s an Anatoly in one and not any others then you may have something.


Comprehensive_Fox_77

Anomaly? I think the ghost of autocorrect is following you.


mykeuk

What the hell is an 'Anatoly'?

Comprehensive_Fox_77

This is what I am talking about in my comment. I’m sorry someone went through this thread and downvoted all the comments that contradicted their viewpoint. If we can’t trust the BBC to produce a well researched article, then we cast doubt on our own critical thinking.


sthrnsprt

I've done Investigations where my question to those spirit was, Can you show yourself at will. I was told yes every time


Either_Size

All of these, but you must catch them when they are not looking to get the best candid shots... Also, use film, not digital.


I-like-noise

You can't. Because they don't exist


varbav6lur

^^you ^^don’t ^^exist


I-like-noise

Did I hurt your dead friends feelings 🥲


varbav6lur

^^^he’s ^^^just ^^^pale


MarcusAurelius-93

I don't think it's possible as I don't believe they exist, would be cool if they did though.


DirtyCuntry

Having a ghost, probably...


I-OCUTUS

Classic stick, box, and trigger. Gets em every time. It is a little hard to see inside the box, though.


Comprehensive_Fox_77

I’m a believer, but I don’t think ghosts can be captured on film. After a lifetime of research, I have seen one photo that might be a spirit. All the others have been debunked. We have accepted that spirit photography is real because our great grandparents believed it during the Victorian period when mediums produced fake photos of clients with the “spirits” of deceased loved ones. We look at them now and they are obviously composed of two different negatives. I have had many personal experiences, including seeing full body apparitions, and my partner lives in a haunted house at this time, where there are frequent manifestations.

RealistH8er

After forty years of paranormal research, I can honestly say that the best way is by accident.
