how do u play this game?
wanted to have it at my party this year,wasny sure were u get the pics tho

This is my only issue with this game, there's no way to prove whether or not a ghost photo is real. The only thing you can do is try to find the most convincing photos you can and get some photos that are horribly photoshopped. There are a handful of ghost photos that are famous in the paranormal community, The Brown Lady being one of the most notable. The problem wtih this however is that many of the famous ghost photographs are old black and whites so your guests might get wise to it if you keep using old photos and new ones for the fakes. Pictures from the past are much harder to debunk then the more recent photos; they didn't have the same technology back then that we do now, so photo manipulation was not an easy feat. Your best bet is to hit up google (or google images) and type "famous ghost photos", then flip through them and see which ones you like best. Do your research on them because nearly every photograph will have a story behind it, as well as you don't want to use a picture you think is real when it's been proven as a fake!

that answered all my questions...i was wondering how u prove it!!
do u recommend any other games that r easy n consist of a prize given at the end?

I'm generally not good at coming up with games, I just posted this one. You could stick with the ghost thing and have a competition to see who can fake the best ghost photo and have people vote for the winner. Other than that I can only think of frat house drinking games lol, I would hit up the rest of the Party Ideas forum and see what other people are doing, I've read quite a few things that sound pretty interesting there and most of these people have like twenty or so Halloween parties under their belts!

Hey. Haunt or Hoax is a game that I made up. I'm planning to play it at my party with ghost photos that are supposed to be 'real' and photos that have been debunked as fake. In answer to how do you find real/fake pictures...you can google either term and you'll get some results. Of course, there's always a possibility that the 'real' photos will be debunked at some point, but all you can really do is go off of what is currently supposed about the photos.

Some famous, supposedly real ghost photos:







Around 1946, this ghost photo was taken in Queensland, Australia by Mrs.
Andrews who was taking a picture of her 17 year old daughter's grave. Mrs
Andrews was surprised by the ghostly image of a baby looking at her when the
picture was developed.

Mrs. Andrews maintains that no children were in the area, so a double
exposure was impossible, and that she did not recognize the baby at all.

Others who have visited the grave site have found the graves of two baby girls
nearby. Could this baby over the grave be one of them?

ok now u have my attention!!
where do u get fake photos from tho?

Here are a few







Hahaha...in searching for these pictures I've actually found a game online that is exactly the same. Here's the link:
