One of the first ghostcams on the Web was June Houston's Ghostcam. Its stated purpose was to help June, who believes that she lives in a haunted house, to sleep at night. "My basement is a place that really scares me," says June on her site. "I am the only person to use it and whenever I go there (very rarely), I feel that I am being observed."

The pictures above were purportedly captured by ghostcam watchers-- 'purported' because they're not genuine. A visitor to this site has helped me identify the source for one of the images. UncleTim54@aol.com writes, "I'm not expert on digital photography, but regarding...the ghostcam photos, the odd figure seated appears to come from the cover of the band Oingo Boingo's self-titled album. The picture in question shows a small dwarfish figure with a checkered pattern to him in the bottom center of the photo... I think you'll recognize the image once you see it."
