Horace Carpetine, a photographer’s apprentice in New York City in 1874, discovers he has the ability to see ghosts in photographs. Sometimes an angel hovers, indicating a death in the future; other occasions, the ghost of a dead relative appears in the image. He manipulates theses photographs in the darkroom, erasing the ghostly figures. But Horace is troubled by these “shadows” he sees. Then Horace’s employer is hired to photograph the wealthy and recently bereaved Mrs. Von Macht. As Horace develops the photo the ghost of the von Macht’s dead daughter appears in the background, and this time everyone can see it. As Horace discovers the true story behind the girl’s death, the ghost gains strength and seeks vengeance. (New Hampshire Great Stone Face nominee, 2009-2010)
