From the article: Electric Chair Ghost
When engineer Fred Leuchter took this photo of an old electric chair he was modifying for the state of Tennessee, he was startled by the anomalies seen. Does this picture show the ghost of an executed man? What do you think? Tell us what you think

Lot of fakes.

If you want 2 real ghost pictures I have them. They blow my mind and maybe yours also. Your choice. You have a lot of fakes up as it is now.

Capitol Punishment

I, am Catholic. I, personally don't believe in capitol punishment. The one who "flips the switch ", is guilty of murder. Don't know how it works, BUT, from the Governor on down. EVERYONE involved in a death is guilty. Even on the streets, everyone who is involved is put in prison. What makes, the Governor, and the ones who electrocute them any different ? I realize we have need some form of justice, but MURDER is MURDER ! As far as the picture of the chair, it's repulsive ! Now the " Innocence Project ", has gotten involved, NOW, I ASK YOU AGAIN, HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH ? THEY HAVE FREED LOT'S OF PEOPLE WHO SPENT ( the latest 42 years in prison, INNOCENT !.) HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH WHEN THE GOVERNOR HAD THE POWER TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND STOP IT ! jes sayin........

Thank you Fred Leuchter for this image.

Guest Zardak your comments are completely irrelevant to the post, which pertains to the paranormal. Let the past rest, and move on with life.

Ghosts are not forces to be played with. Ghosts are real, first of all and no one should think that they don't exist. Ghosts are just normal people who have given up there physical form. When a person dies, the can chose to go to heaven(or hell) or spend there time on earth until their ready. Some ghosts only want company others only want to see pain. It's a confusing process, but deal with it.

wood demon

kisses the back of the neck of the person in the chair just before they get electrocuted. Laughs and carries on and tells them he'll be there for them after they die.

fun theory

A camera it's prime function is to let in light to form a photo. Humans have electrons that regulate within bodies. An electric chair sends shocks throuout the human body. since the electric chair constantly sends electricity(light), through victims, in basically the same position. there could be fragments of floting elctrons that the camera could have picked up on. forming what appears to be a the head and arms. the reason why the face would show is because the head is the main flow of electricity. from the head down into the neveous system. so naturally there is more electrons in the head. but just a theory
