Aaron Peck writes from NYC to draw my attention to shinrei shashin.

Via an exellent Japanese ghost website: "Shinrei shashin are snapshots taken by amateur photographers (while out with friends, on vacations, at school events, etc.). After the pictures are developed, the photographer notices that some kind of inexplicable, spectral image has been captured by the camera. The specter was not visible to the naked eye when the picture was taken. With the wide distribution of disposable cameras and the ubiquity of camera-cell phones, the shinrei shashin phenomenon has gained new life, with photographers posting their mysterious images on the internet."
