This is one of many articles explaining what is going on--<br>

This can be demonstrated with the proper lighting and a roll of toilet<br>
paper. The material that settles on our furniture we call dust isn't really<br>
dust for the most part in most parts of the country. Places where it rains<br>
often still have that phenomenon, even though rain knocks down actual dust<br>
particles outdoors. A lot of what we call dust is actually toilet paper<br>
lint. I saw a YouTube video where someone demonstrated jillions of these<br>
linty particles go airborne every time you rip off a few in the bathroom.<br>
This also explains why the bathroom gets linty faster than the more remote<br>
rooms in the house. If you wear cotton clothing, that contributes as well:<br>
individual fibers from the cotton will constantly be breaking off and<br>
floating about.<br>
<br>
A near-field object in a camera lens can do exactly what John describes. Of<br>
course it could be the ghosts arranged for that explanation to cover their<br>
evanescent tracks, the sneaky bastards. <br>
<br>
Easy experiment: set up the camera which took the ghost images, set up<br>
another camera right beside it with those modern nifty small apertures, like<br>
the ones on your Apple phone, see if the ghost only appears in the large<br>
aperture camera.<br>
