In the 1800s, there was a popular fad of trick photography to make "ghosts" appear in photos as this sort of cloudy mist or dust that was created in the developing process. Charlatans would act as clairvoyants and produce a photo for bereaved families supposedly showing their loved ones' ghosts floating about.
I am having a horrible time finding good examples of these old ghost photographs, and now I'm kind of on a mission. If anyone knows of a good link, let me know.
