Spirit Photography has been around essentially from the birth of photography. But it is still around today. In fact, spirit photography even earned a place in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in September of 2005, entitled The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult. The exhibit focused on the 1800s to World War II era, when skepticism was the strongest.
Most recently, the largest exposure to the phenomenon of spirit photography is the newly released FOX movie "Shutter." Below is the trailer. In the movie, main characters Joshua and Rachael discover strange orbs in their photographs. With some research and explainations from believers, they find that the imperfections in the photographs are a spirit. This film pushed spirit photography into the view of huge populations.
