Do ghosts in supernatural photos really exist?

186 1, William Mora, a jeweler in Boston who is keen on amateur photography, was surprised to find that when he took his selfie photos out of the developing disc, he saw a strange young woman floating beside him, just like a ghost.

To be sure, there was no one else around when this photo was taken. Maura attributed it to double exposure. However, when he showed the photo to his friends, they all said that the outline of the extra woman in the photo was very similar to Maura's dead cousin. Maura began to believe that she had really captured the soul.

Maura's photo soon made the front page news. Instead of doubting, many journalists hyped that this was the first photo of a ghost in human history.

When Maura smelled the business opportunity, he immediately closed his jewelry store and began to work as the world's first soul photographer. He worked very hard to ensure that the deceased would appear in his photos, and soon, many people came to take photos with him.

However, after his brilliant years, trouble came. Several sharp-eyed customers found that the deceased in the photo was very similar to the customers who took pictures in front of them. It was also revealed that Mora had sneaked into their house and stole photos of the deceased to make images of the deceased. The evidence soon piled up and Maura was finally accused of fraud. At that time, the trial was unprecedented because many famous witnesses participated in it.

Although the crime of fraud is not established, Mora's reputation can be said to be completely ruined. From then on, he never recovered from the huge lawyer's fee and died in poverty on 1884.
