Ghosts in the photo?

This picture in the office of the S. Brown Furniture Co. (and mortuary) in Lapeer is from sometime before 1922 and shows S.D. Brown (at left), the company’s owner — along with a little photo trickery that appears on the original photograph. Note that the unidentified woman’s dress can be seen through Brown’s pant leg and that the calendar on the wall shows through the shoulder of the man on the right. The photo came from Margaret Carrigan, Brown’s granddaughter, and is part of Don McCallum’s historical collection.
