Cool.

Having spent a over 100,000 hours in a darkroom in my life, I have worked and played at all the tricks done in a darkroom or with film during photography. Double exposure, long exposures and mixed lighting during exposure on the film is almost impossible to replicate a result. Every exposure is different result.

I set up one shot for his living room. Wide angle 90 mm Super Angalong lens on a 4x5 Sinar P on KODAK VERICOLOR Professional Film Type L and gave the guy a small light with a switch he could turn on and off. We turned off all the lights, and it was a dark room, with the windows blocked out. He would change clothes, move to one area of the room, turn on the light for 12 seconds, then tun it off, move to another area with another costume on, and do it again. We ended up with him in for places, than I lit to entire room with just enough to light and a long enough exposure to get the room details.

In the end, it looked like he was a ghost in 4 different place, all slightly transparent like a ghost is supposed to be. It took us all night to do one final version. Now it can be don easily with Photoshop.

I wish I had a photo to post, but that was many years ago and I don't even remember his name.
