I got a "Haunted Tintype" Taken! (& history of spirit photography)
HELLO, ghouls! I cannot begin to fathom that October is already almost over, whheww. To celebrate Halloween inching closer, I wanted to explore a subject that I've always been interested in: Spirit Photography of the 1800's.
I don't normally do research-based videos but I had so much fun digging into this. Me, loving homework? H-WHAT.
The second part of the video is taking a trip to New York City to get my very own 'haunted tintype' taken by the AMAZING Sophie Chalk.
Enjoy!! Love ya!!
