The UK publication the Daily Mail published a story about a Dutch historian and her photo project this week. Ghosts of History is a photo essay made by Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse that show pictures of the past combined with pictures of the present. The story and initial photos in her project have spread around the globe and the project even has its own Facebook page growing in popularity. Using photos of soldiers in France in World War II, Teeuwisse revisited locations around Cherbourg, France and other locations, found among 300 negatives, that were still standing or recognizable. Using Photoshop she then assembled the photos to reveal some eerily ghostly images. The seriousness of war aside, the results are very cool, and may evoke some other ghostly images from sci-fi and fantasy–notably for me the Army of the Dead from Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
