The Cooper Falling Body Photograph

Found another....

Pretty sure I saw this years ago..

Thought the story was the bloke falling had killed himself upstairs and something happened to the floor or something.

Although, theres clearly no debris falling with him.

I reckon he'd gafataped himself to the ceiling ready to photobomb.
 
Obviously a guy on the 1st floor landing hanging over the edge and photobombing... :p

It's convenient how these "ghosts" etc. always seem to be in really old, low quality, grainy photos, taken with most likely poor quality cameras and developed using old fashioned, low quality techniques.

One of the believers, please go ahead and prove me wrong by providing a modern high-res undoctored photo...

This may alarm some people. View at your own risk.

Yeah, keep up MrK!

Okay, some questions for you all:

  1. Can anyone make out any details in the shadow's 'head'?
  2. If it was a double exposure, could the film have been placed back in the camera upside down? (If so, the shadow could be a photo of someone dancing, perhaps.)
  3. What year would you estimate the photo to be from?

I'd guess at late-1950s for the last question.
 

From the lens vignetting it very much looks like the photo was centered and outcropped, or cropped symmetrically.

Unless an uncropped version can be found I will firmly believe the photo was taken with space specially arranged on the left.
