Ghost Picture Excites Japanese
Much excitement has been created,
particularly among the Japanese
of the community on account
of a freak photograph taken up
George A. Faik, in lao valley. The
picture is of an old tomb in the val
ley, and shows standing at one side
of the tomb, a shrouded figure, semi
transparent, through which trees and
other objects a be seen. Dimly out
lined features under a cowl may also
be made out. 1t is a first class ghost
picture. The Maui Shimbun, a local
Japanese paper, last week published
an account of the ghost and it is
said many Japanese are now afraid
to go up the valley. The freak pic
ture is undoubtedly the result of a
chemical stain, probably due to i'm
perfect washing of the negative after
development.
