Could anyone explain how tis was done?
Discussion
It has been posted on a thread about ghosts in the P&P. I remember reading a book years ago which had the very same picture and explained how it was done.

long exposure? Shutter speed of say 30 seconds, person stands with mask on for a couple of seconds the quickly runs to the right?
Yes, that sounds like the explanation in the book. I was about eight when I read it so I am somewhat sketchy with the details. Would you not get a blur at the side where he had run on though?Seriously?
It'll be done at the printing stage, you put the photographic paper under the enlarger. First project a negative of the background. Then change the negative in the enlarger, and project the ghost.
It's easy, in fact anyone who's worked in a darkroom has done it accidentally a few times, or many in my case...
