What happens to us after we die? Do we enter into a state of nothingness? Or do we stay put, spiritually bound to this earth, "haunting" those that live on after us as ghosts?

I myself am neither a skeptic, nor a believer. I need to be "punched in the face" with proof before I lean one way or the other. That being said, there is plenty of evidence that supports both ideas, in principle. These 16 photographs taken by ordinary people allege to have captured spiritual beings not of this earth. I'll leave it up to you to judge for yourself. Regardless of what you think, I believe that we can all agree that most of these are beyond creepy.

1. Look in the background.

This picture was taken by a young woman who was hanging out with her little cousins. There was no one in the background when she snapped the photo.

2. Check please.

This photo is allegedly from the 1950s, snapped after a nice family dinner. I think it's safe to say that they would have noticed someone hanging upside down from their ceiling.

3. Look carefully at the ladder...

Two friends were hanging out along in a house when this picture was taken. When they went back to look at the photo they noticed a mans head floating in air framed by two rungs of the ladder.

4. Uninvited guest.

That old man that you can clearly see in the background was not gathered for this picture of grandparents hanging out with their grand-kids.

5. Not-so-abandoned school.  

A small-town resident went to snap some pictures of an old elementary school before it was torn down. When he uploaded the pics he realized he had captured more than he had intended.

6. Demon in the hospital?

This image was captured on a nurse's monitor in a hospital. Clearly this figure wasn't in the room "physically" as it is something that would have been noticed. Allegedly the patient in question died shortly after this image was captured.

7. Eyes in the back of your head?

This "old-fashioned" mirror selfie captured a little bit more than intended by the photographer. Notice the second face with demonic yellow eyes staring out from behind the woman's dark hair.

8. The face in the window.

This picture seems to capture the face of a little girl staring out at people through a first floor window. People who were present for this photo say that there is a story that a little girl died in front of that specific window.

9. The woman in black.

This photo captured in an abandoned hospital by a former employee appears to capture a dark silhouetted figure looking at them from down the hallway.

10. The spirit without a head or arms.

A woman from Hungary posted this photo of her mother, and taken by her father. At the time of the photo they said that there was no one in the background. But when the got the film developed, a headless and arm-less figure can be clearly seen in the background.

11. The second hand from your left.

The young man in the middle of this picture posted this photo stating that his parent's house is "crazy haunted." His explanation for the photo, that is definitely not his hand sitting on his father's shoulder.

12. The Reaper he comes.

What looks like a harmless game of football played among friends produces a truly creepy photograph. It appears that the Grim Reaper himself has come to play ball. Notice the two pictures from different angles, and the black figure is only visible in one of them.

13. A face in the smoke.

Even if this just a cloud of cigarette smoke, that face is uncanny in its detail. Did someone catch a spiritual entity outlined in mist?

14. The little girl in white.

A hunter had this trail cam set up deep in the North Carolina forest. The motions sensors snapped this photo of what appears to be a young girl running through the bush without any shoes.

15. That shadow shouldn't be there.

This photo taken in a Nevada motel shows a shadowy figure standing in the room. If you look closely at the mirror on the wall in the middle of the photo (on the back wall) you will notice that there is no reflection.

16. The floating face.

If you look over the arm of the you will be able to make out what looks like the face of a small child. There have apparently been multiple sightings of the ghost of a young girl in the house. I don't know what's scarier, the prospect of a ghost, or the upholstery of the chair.

What do you think of these photos? Do they prove the existence of ghosts? Have you ever captured a ghost on camera? If so, share it with us in the comments.
