Real person. Does appear so. I guess my thought on real versus not, is every full form ghost I seen looked REAL and solid, until they walk through a wall you don't know if they are flessh at times.

cool

I love this photo!  Very good catch.  Ali

Here is a clearer version of the pic.  http://news.webshots.com/photo/1481931428080148511toJAKW

I think this is not a ghost but a real person.

Sorry, that is clearly a child not some guys "Girlfriend". Ghostly? That's another thing. But I will say that I prefer to not be a cynic and assume that some simply child wandered into the home and somehow got caught on camera.

Look at the facial proportions and the height in contrast to the stairs... 

This can be at worse a "swing" pic, which says it is just as hard to proof "false" as it is to prove 'real"

Sorry, but on the night this was taken (by Lorraine Warren's photographr) there were two staff membrs of the PRF present for the seance that evening.  One, Jerry, brought his girlfriend who was a part time assistant at Duke.  That is her you are seeing in this photo.  Because she was not an invited guest and did not take part in the seance, her name is not listed on Ed & Lorraine's lit of those n attendence and when she showed up in the photo, no one knew who she was, but the photo was eventually indentified in Fate Magazine, in an article I wrote as a review of Amityville.

The story is that this is one of the children that died during
the DeFeo murders at 112 Ocean Avenue.
