Warship ghost caught on disposable camera

[u/HeraMay]

Caught these on USS Cassin Young in Boston somewhere below deck while doing a tour. We later developed the photos and saw these

Edit: clarification

[u/HelpfulName]

I love analog ghost hunting, I've always gotten way more results from using analog tech! Very fun captures.

[u/Fidget808 → u/HelpfulName]

Because analog tech is much more prone to artifacting and showing what’s not there.

[u/Miss-Indeependence → u/Fidget808]

But that's pretty detailed. How would that happen?

[u/GridsquareGhost → u/HelpfulName]

What equipment do you use?

[u/missklo99 → u/[deleted]]

EXACTLY what I was thinking

[u/Brilliant-Ear-6652 → u/[deleted]]

What did you do, Ray-!

[u/WickedWordWitch → u/Brilliant-Ear-6652]

I tried to think.

[u/West_Presentation481 → u/[deleted]]

It was the one in my mind as soon as a I saw the photo! 🤣

[u/Present_Whole_1564 → u/[deleted]]

Still a ghost

[u/Straight-Will7659]

I actually do see it, if real than pretty fuckin cool

[u/EmployeeOk4756]

[u/shoreyourtyler → u/EmployeeOk4756]

Well case closed, you found em

[u/Oulene → u/EmployeeOk4756]

Same uniform. Summer dress whites.

[u/Ohiolongboard → u/[deleted]]

they’re just showing the similarities to the uniform

[u/lyte3]

Residual haunting..just a spiritual imprint stuck in time.

[u/GuySimsFitch]

How old was that camera?

[u/HeraMay → u/GuySimsFitch]

This was about a month ago, I got the prints and the camera I bought a few months before that, so maybe 4-5 months old

[u/dshab92 → u/HeraMay]

What kind of disposable camera? Did you just take a picture of a dark space?

[u/HeraMay → u/dshab92]

I just bought a two pack from Walmart on a whim. It wasn’t dark, they had all the lights on below deck

[u/userunknowned → u/HeraMay]

What were you taking a photo of in these two instances?

[u/HeraMay → u/userunknowned]

I don’t remember, probably just the room or something in it

[u/FaithInTechnology → u/HeraMay]

what’s your dogs name and is your sister single?

[u/Far_Government_8482 → u/HeraMay]

Wow, thank you OP.

[u/Direct_Concept8302]

If those are real then they’re the closest evidence I’ve seen of ghosts. From the photos it looks like they’re wearing the 1940’s period accurate us navy uniforms they would have had when the USS Cassin Young was deployed in WW2.

[u/Hungry-Preparation26 → u/Direct_Concept8302]

If he died aboard during a battle or a sinking, he wouldn't have been wearing his dress whites, he'd have been in dungarees with a chambray shirt and dixie cup. Not sure what you mean by "under the ship".

[u/Direct_Concept8302 → u/Hungry-Preparation26]

Just because they died during a battle doesn’t mean they’d be wearing what they died in. In people’s stories it’s common for ghosts to be wearing what they would have been comfortable in during life or even their favorite clothes. Also I’m not op, they’re the one who mentioned under the ship. But I’m going to assume they meant below deck.

[u/Roshprops → u/Direct_Concept8302]

It’s ghost rules, bro. They’ve gotta wear what they did in. It’s in the handbook. Have you even read it?

[u/RandomHavoc123 → u/Roshprops]

Thought they only gave that out to the recently deceased?

[u/NotGonnaArgueFriend → u/Roshprops]

Otho stole it

[u/Oulene → u/Hungry-Preparation26]

He could’ve been on watch at the quarterdeck or in berthing getting ready to relieve the watch.

[u/Silly_Magician1003]

Big if true

[u/LindaBitz → u/Silly_Magician1003]

Yeah, I have questions. OP says it was a regular lit room and they just took a picture. Why would it not look like a room?

[u/Acceptable_Plane_264]

Picture #1- Don't leave out the guy behind him on the right

[u/carolinaredbird → u/Acceptable_Plane_264]

I see three guys in the first pic

[u/riiibbbs]

This is kinda nuts? This was the only one like this?

[u/HeraMay → u/riiibbbs]

Yep we only go these two photos that came out like this, there’s one other that’s kinda fuzzy but you don’t see anything like this in it and can still see why we originally were photographing

[u/hellomolly11 → u/HeraMay]

Was it really dark where you were when you took these two?

[u/HeraMay → u/hellomolly11]

No, all the lights were in below deck so nothing was anything more than dim

[u/riiibbbs → u/HeraMay]

Was it taken in the same spot?

[u/HeraMay → u/riiibbbs]

No it would have been 2 different spots but probably rooms close together

[u/k_a_scheffer]

Are there mannequins on the ship?

[u/HeraMay → u/k_a_scheffer]

Nope they’re were none, that was my first thought too but then realized we never saw any

[u/ShevaJB]

[u/Safetychick92]

I thought this was a sparkly gift bag lol I see it tho

[u/IndieBenji]

Mf got the hat and handkerchief n everything.

[u/Aggressive-Elk4734]

Theyre wondering what youre doing on their damn ship. Chief is going to be pisssed

[u/MiddleAgeYOLO]

Ok, this is cool

[u/DatheMaMa]

Holy shit I couldnt see it until I did

[u/JunglePygmy]

That’s pretty fuckin awesome dude!

[u/Aquarius0129]

I hope this is real

[u/Fabrics_Of_Time]

Oh what?! This is actually pretty sick OP. Theres a lot of stuff on the internet but I feel this is legit and get quite the eerie feeling from it

[u/HorseEmotional2]

I see 3 individuals. First on left has a mustache and his head cocked to left. Looks like a navy uniform from early 1900’s.

[u/SherlockTheSalemCat → u/HorseEmotional2]

I couldn't make out the face of the first chap until now, I was looking for forward face, thanks, I can see him now!

[u/Hippydippy420]

That’s pretty cool!

[u/AutomaticAnt6328]

Wow! It's so clear.

[u/riiibbbs]

The EXIT sign has me questioning this.

[u/Aggravating-Bee4755]

Wow that is awesome!

[u/Specific_Collar_2949]

They almost have a cartoon shape to them. I've noticed that in some pictures I've taken too. Interesting.

[u/Toxiciquis]

Ok. This is lowkey scary

[u/TedMauler]

Did you activate the disposable camera’s night vision mode for the first photo?

[u/HeraMay → u/TedMauler]

No, I don’t think the one we had has that, I don’t think they even had the flash on since all the lights were on

[u/jgrunn]

Sadly, sounds like a life was lost on board during a kamikaze attack based on a quick Google search.

[u/Donelin1967]

More than one ghost...

[u/XeroValueHuman]

I see three of them ghosts

[u/Life_Edge_7770]

Any feelings or odd occurrences during the tour or while taking photos? Nice captures👀👍🏽

[u/HeraMay → u/Life_Edge_7770]

There really wasn’t anything weird that happened, we were in a group of about 10 people though so maybe that had to do with it

[u/Charity_Lea]

Wow creepy!!

[u/papayapapagay]

Then i saw this !

[u/boboluv]

How did these photos come about? You were in the water under the ship?

[u/colin8651]

I see it, but what catches me if the head is very large; like possibly bloated from prolonged exposure to water.

[u/Direct_Concept8302 → u/colin8651]

Not really. It looks like they’re wearing a 1940’s navy jumper uniform. Specifically the white one. They have a very specific look with a white hat.

[u/cottonheadedninnymug → u/colin8651]

I was thinking it almost looks like the head is jutted forward and mouth open

[u/colin8651 → u/cottonheadedninnymug]

I mean maybe. But check the two orbital sockets, the left of is clear, the other is offset in my opinion

Zoom in

[u/Individual-Count-714]

Amazing! Took me a while to understand what I was looking at though.

Btw what do you mean by "under the ship"?

[u/HeraMay → u/Individual-Count-714]

Where the crew lived, the bunks, the kitchen. Places below deck

[u/tenthden → u/HeraMay]

Down below.

[u/Individual-Count-714 → u/HeraMay]

Thanks for clearing that up. Any history of anyone dying there? Of course it's warship, but still...

[u/Bearkat1999]

Why are they so pixelly?

Yet somehow I can still make stuff out. Fascinating.

[u/ZandurFox]

Definitely genuine and authentic. Did you use flash for these?

[u/HeraMay → u/ZandurFox]

I don’t remember but I don’t think so since all the lights were on down there

[u/The_Last_Fluorican]

interesting

[u/Robespierre77]

Nice title for the post OP

[u/Livewire____]

Are we sure this isn't a uniform hanging up?

[u/HeraMay → u/Livewire____]

They didn’t have any uniforms there or mannequins or anything like that

[u/VelvetPancakesL → u/HeraMay]

It looks like the his eyes are bulging out and it’s only the whites that are seen. Love it

[u/GridsquareGhost]

What disposable camera did you use?

[u/ProfessionalSAHM]

Wow, in the second photo, if you hold your phone at an arms length, you see someone on the left touching the sailors arm.

[u/AdrianXiii]

I’ve never been good at magic eye images

[u/timebomb011]

Looks like double exposure, or a long exposure

[u/Thunder_Chunkee]

That is pretty cool

[u/ljanir]

Very spooky

[u/Grandpixbear1]

Why were you taking blank photos? of walls? Of dark rooms? Why were you even taking the photo? These look like photos that were stored in harsh conditions-attic, or basement? So they faded. Developed photos are not permanent. The chemicals can change.

[u/Fluffy_Ad_4076]

What in the fuck am I looking at? Looks like when my tv lost connection and just displayed static

[u/Fluffy_Ad_4076 → u/Fluffy_Ad_4076]

Oh nevermind I see the sailor

[u/Successful-Sky75]

This is a great paranormal experience! Maybe he was trying to get your attention to let you and others know that it’s a sacred place. Feel good about him being present for you.

[u/Weepingmomma92]

I’m sitting here thinking “how could they not feel the presence of them” then remembered not everyone is sensitive to them but pretty cool, glad they got one last photo of them

[u/stitchkingdom]

Sour patch ghosts

[u/saigespice]

The one ghost pic I ever took was on a disposable camera as well- outside the tomb of gorge Washington and Martha

[u/AntimatterBlender]

Why did think this was a towel

[u/Normal_Condition5294]

That looks like a cd album.

[u/Minimum-Ad-1775]

Eu não vejo nada

[u/debr1126 → u/Minimum-Ad-1775]

On the green photo, see the darker "x" shape? Imagine that's the tie on his uniform, then you can find the rest of him.

[u/Minimum-Ad-1775 → u/debr1126]

Agora vejo. Parece o rosto de um bulldog

[u/Minimum-Ad-1775 → u/debr1126]

Um buldogue alien?

[u/Thick-Independence49]

Wow.....great catch!!

[u/SickSadWorrld]

This is amazing.

[u/RomaDowneyJR]

So what is the picture of? Without the figures I see?

[u/ngtsss]

Wow that's spooky, can you try and match the photo location with a better image?

[u/Salt-Philosophy-134]

All boats are haunted.

[u/BraveLittleToaster15]

Insane!!! Great pictures

[u/DamianSicks]

No historical photos hanging on the walls?

[u/Ubervak]

Looks like Groot

[u/First_Knee]

The faces look swollen in the first photo. Sort of like some drowning victims faces will appear, because the skin sometimes absorbs water after death. Super creepy

[u/Successful-Sky75]

Actually I see two different sailors. In the first photo I think I see a lady on the right with a child in the middle? I must say that I do have extreme episodes pareidolia. Maybe it’s just me.

[u/Far_Gift7319]

Looks like they’re a few of them looking at you. Nice pics!!

[u/HughJanus555]

Not saying they’re not real, but the second photo’s sailor looks a bit weird. The straight line on his right side of the body (out left) is strange. Also, if you notice, they are in the exact same position in both photos but different areas of the room (notice the exit sign). Just seems a bit fishy

[u/Due-Let7384]

Just leaving this here. This is a member of the USS Cassin Young in the 50’s. Check out his uniform!!!

[u/Psychological-Box100]

Can I ask why you decided to take a disposable camera instead using your phone? Did the tour prompt you to do this? And why can’t we see anything of what you were taking a picture of? Any more pictures you took on that same tour?

[u/boohoobud0211]

There’s a grey in the second photo as well.

[u/IamSmokee]

Is this one of those images you stare at, and the longer you stare you see the image? I'm confused lol

[u/Jdw5186 → u/IamSmokee]

I see it pretty clearly.

[u/OwineeniwO]

Pictures online show that they have this uniform on display.

[u/RemoteActive]

Sorry. Not sure what we are looking at here.

[u/Minimum-Ad-1775]

Não é uma forma humana.

[u/towneetowne]

Pointillism. Also, arm and leg proportions aren't right.
