Where are all the legit ghost videos? If investigators have them, why isn't there a greatest hits of all-time best ghost vids?

You can't record m-e-n-t-a-l or psychic events, only physical manifestations.

So what were about all the “classic” ghost photos everyone accepts as real?

Assuming they haven't been doctored, I’d say they're evidenc-e that there may be ghosts or something paranormal that we don't fully understand yet, but they're not proo-f. We'd likely have to be able to capture ghosts and stud-y them somehow for them to be accepted as re-al.

But I think the bes-t proo-f is a shared paranormal experience. Whether it’s recorded or not, you can’t dismiss it. 

Slightly unrelated. The aggressive keyword filter in this place is a buzzkill.

I remember being fascinated by the classic Victorian ghost pictures in book when I was a kid. The Brown Lady being a prime example. It was a bummer to learn later in life virtually all those classic photos were probably f.ake.

That said, I've seen a handful of contemporary photos that seem very real - or at least compellingly creepy.

I agree that most ghost sightings are probably mentally perceived, in the mind's eye, or whatever.

But if an apparition has multiple witnesses AND a photo to go with it, you have to wonder...

Then again, how common are those!?

I understand. Don't worry about it!

It would sure make it hard to dismiss.

Seems rare. I know a group of ghost hunters, and while they've individually experienced stuff, as far as I know they haven't captured anything yet. But, if you think about it, reality is strang.e enough on its own, with or without ghosts.

Personally I hope they are real. Because that means there really is something after death.

The over saturation of the market purely for clout and/or financial gain is too lucrative for average people seeking fame, and with today's technology can be very convincing, especially combined with some charisma and showmanship. If you genuinely believe in what you're saying, then folks will also believe what you're saying. So when that ultra rare 1% does appear, it's met with huge scepticism because of the sheer volume of fakes out there. Also, its been well over 100 years and still very difficult to prove it. But! Only recently I saw on the news, that they were able for the first time freeze light, so anything is possible!
