Two Tombstones Make a Ghost

Two Tombstones Make a Ghost

The majority of the grave markers in this photograph are shouldered tablet headstones. Along the upper edge of this photograph, you may see a ghost. This is an optical illusion created by discoloration on the front of a tombstone, and the engraving of a cherub/soul effigy on the tombstone behind it.
