Things You'll Need:
- Camera that can be set for long exposures

Step 1
Scout a location you want to haunt. An old house or small graveyard are good choices.

Step 2
Go to your location at dusk, set your camera on a tripod and frame your photo.
-
Step 3
Set the camera for a 10-second exposure.
-
Step 4
Ask a friend to be the ghost. He or she should wear an appropriate costume, such as vintage clothing or a dark suit a person might be buried in. Place your friend in the frame and choose an interesting pose.

Step 5
Open the shutter and count off three seconds. After three seconds, your friend should run out of the frame. Allow the shutter to close.

Step 6
Repeat this process as long as the light allows, placing your friend in different locations and in different poses. Have fun.

Develop your film. You will see the scenes you photographed with a transparent figures--your friend, the ghost.
