Yet photos like these: http://www.prairieghosts.com/ectoplasm.html fooled many people once upon a time. "Ectoplasm photos" made a name for a lot of spiritualists in the 20s and 30s. I can't figure it out. We see someone with a bunch of cotton stuffed up her nose or a newspaper photo taped to her ear; other people see ghosts. I can't MAKE myself see the cotton as "ectoplasm".

Nasa Ghost debunked by...GEORGE NOORY!!!???

Here are the pertinent sites:
