i’m all for ghosts who are nervous about their first haunting but i’m also all for ghosts on their millionth haunting who are just showing up for the paycheck at this point

i’m intrigued by this post. by saying the ghosts r “just showing up for the paycheck” are u implying that ghosts are paid for hauntings? do ghosts have to work for a living? are u implying the existence of ghost capitalism? because honestly if i get to the afterlife and there’s ghost capitalism i’m gonna be so fuckin mad

Elderly couple with female “spirit”, c. 1920 by William Hope, “spirit photographer”

Hope’s “Spirit Photography” work gained momentum after WWI, when many people were desperate to find evidence of loved ones living beyond the grave.  His techniques used double and triple exposures to render the appearance of ghostly apparitions around the sitter.  His deception was publicly exposed by a private investigator in 1922, but he still continued his work. (via the UK’s National Media Museum)
