It's somewhat similar to someone posting a picture of a bird type that's unknown in whatever country it's been visiting. Either someone calls fake or it's so blurry and dreadful that you can't tell if it's a bird or a lens smear.With the development and widespread availability of digital photography and photoshop, the adage "the camera never lies" has long been dead.
Sadly, we hit a paradox: if we take a photo of what we think is a ghost, then it's either a good, clear one or a blurry, poor image. If it's a poor image then the photo is criticised on it's interpretation; if it's good then it's criticised on being 'too' good. The evidence is destroyed, even though the actual subject of the photo might warrant discussion.
