Spirit photography is a type of photography whose primary attempt is to capture images of ghosts and other spiritual entities, especially in ghost hunting and has a strong history dating back to the late 19th century. First used by William H. Mumler in the 1860s, after discovering the technique by accident. He saw a second person in a photograph he took of himself, which he found was actually a double exposure. The mid-19th century saw a market for this type of photography by taking people's pictures and doctoring the negatives to add lost loved ones into them (mostly using other photographs as basis or staging scenes). The Keystone View Company was a major distributor of stereographic images, and was located in Meadville, Pennsylvania.
