According to Frank, these are pictures taken at a Company Party. Can you see the figures in the ectoplasm? Here's the story behind the pictures.
In October of 1991 I worked for a welding supply company. In a neighboring department, a coworker filled acetylene cylinders. Against regulations, the man lit a cigarette while rolling a cylinder to the dock. A spark from the cigarette quickly ignited the flammable cylinders. Almost instantly, the resulting fumes engulfed the building in flames and the acetylene cylinders shot into the air like missiles. A nearby airport had to shut down a runway to keep the cylinders from damaging incoming airplanes. In just a matter of minutes, the acetylene filling station and adjoining buildings became an inferno.
Firefighters evacuated the buildings and after several hours got the blaze under control. Once they began an investigation, it was discovered that (miraculously) there was only one casualty. The man, who caused the fire from his own negligence, met his untimely death.
December 1991, the company held its annual Christmas party in a part of the plant undamaged by the fire. These pictures were taken with a Kodak 110 camera. The pictures both before and after these do not have anything unusual in them. The pictures weren't taken consecutively on the roll. Also, as a result of the fire, smoking is strictly prohibited in any area of the buildings and therefore the anomaly could not be cigarette smoke. It is believed that the face appearing in the ectoplasm is that of the deceased employee.
