Famous ghost photo debunked

You cannot keep determined people from success. If you place stumbling blocks in their way, they will use them for stepping-stones and climb to new heights. - Mary Kay Ash (1918–2001), Saleswoman and entrepreneur

I always thought this was an interesting ghost photograph. Another example of a clever hoax.

I'm glad they finally put this one to rest. I had always sided that this photo was a fake, granted I had little evidence to support the gut feeling. I wish they would have put the comparison photo up.

I always wonder what is the motivation that these people have who fake UFO, Paranormal, Crop Circles or Cryptozoology evidence. Are they trying to mock us, who have an interest in these areas? Are they desperately looking for their brief moment of fame? If these people thought it through, they would realize that when the fraud is discovered people will remember them as liars and cheats. However it is my experience that stupid people think they are smarter than the rest of us and it would never occur to them that they would be caught. Now that's not how I want to be remembered so I guess I better put my fur suit, pie pans, wood planks with attached ropes and "special" photos for sale on Ebay before I get into any trouble.
