Spirt photography was first used by William H. Mumbler in 1860, it was discovered by complete accident when taking photo of himself. This was actually double exposure.
He then later set up business when he realised there was a gap in the market for this sort of thing, and eventually got found out and was bought to trial.

Obvisoly these photos were hoaxes, it didn't stop other photographers from doing the same. The victorians were obsessed with death and holding onto dead loved ones, they even went as far as taking family photos with the dead releitives in it proped up to keep them in place.
they would paint there eyes on to make them look alive.
This may seem compleatly strange now but then it was just part and parcel of everyday life.
