[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Back in the 1890’s when trains of the Santa Fe Railroad first began to run in the vicinity of Ardmore, Oklahoma, one was held up by bandits seven miles from town where the tracks crossed Caddo Creek. Afterwards the robbers retired to an old house, where they divided and quarrelled over the spoils. One robber was shot and killed. It is a tradition that part or all of the booty was hidden for a time in or about the house. People soon began to say that the ghost of the murdered bandit walked about the place trying to find where the money was hidden and for many years nobody was willing to live there.

Hola Nacho, interesante foto e historia, me llama la atención el fantasma gigante, me gusta el efecto de su desplazamiento, también me gustan los faroles, el contraste con el cielo, incluso con el tercer fantasma, tal vez desearia ver un poco más hacia la derecha, para ver la palmera completa, creo que ya esto es curiosidad. Excelente foto y Original, recibe saludos cordiales desde Tabasco, México.

Hello Nacho, interesting photo and history, get me the attention the giant ghost, I like the effect of its displacement, I also like the streetlights, the contrast with the sky, even with the third ghost, perhaps I would want to see a little more toward the right, to see the complete palm, I believe that already this is curiosity. Excellent photo and Original, Cordial Greetings from Tabasco, Mexico. *Ninfa Urania *

Excellent picture - the ghostly person walking past has been captured with just the right shutter speed to create the image. Exposure is well handled for the time of day.
