The Spectres Reveal Themselves!


- Ghost Busters, 1984

Thanks to an experimental new photography method, one so highly technical that I can't go into it here, we are able to provide you with actual physical images of the apparitions haunting your local library. I must warn you, these images may be unsettling for some of you. Think twice before following the link.

Phantom #1: The ghostly apparition gestures toward a book stack, as if proud of the  ungodly work it has done.

All in all, a surprisingly sprightly ghost.

Phantom #2, caught in the act:





Again, notice the maniacal glee the apparition takes in causing such mischief. We have confirmed that the top-most book is Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time. What wry wit! For a ghost, that is.
