The ‘Evert Ghost Photo’
ghost3.jpg

In Ohio, on February 2001, young Zach Evert got his driver’s license. Diane Evert, his mother, was eager to document his first day of being a licensed driver and she had him pull their truck out of the back of the garage so she could get some pictures and share them with family members. Zach got in and backed up his pick-up truck as Diane snapped images with her 35 millimetre camera. She waved to him as he drove off to the gas station to get his first oil change. She never though anything of it. About a week later, she had the roll of film developed and was putting them in order for placement in the family photo album. Zach was interested in seeing how he looked in the truck and so he grabbed the pictures and immediately noticed something strange in one of them.

“He asked me, who was in the truck?” Diane recalled. “I said, What? What are you talking about? What truck? He said, ‘Well, the day I got my driver’s license and got the oiled changed on my truck.’ I said, ‘Well, there wasn’t anybody in there.’ And he, said, ‘Well, look at the picture, there’s somebody sitting next to me.’ I said, ‘That’s impossible, I took the pictures. I saw you back out of the garage and go down the street to the gas station by yourself, there wasn’t anybody in it.’ So I looked at the picture and, sure enough, there’s somebody sittin next to Zach in the front seat but not the day he went to get the oil changed, in the picture.”

Upon inspection, there does appear to be what looks like a person sitting next to Zach in the truck. Eric Haney and Scott Wells of the Ohio based Munroe Falls Paranormal Society investigated the image. They went to the location and took measurements, spoke to all the witnesses and even examined the truck. They also had the picture checked over by an image specialist. Ultimately they ruled out reflection from a nearby tree, double exposure and photoshop shenanigans. Haney, who was skeptical at first, became convinced that the photograph was genuine.
