It seems that a “ghost that screamed” in a picture is “proof of the afterlife.”
Shortly after 16-year-old John Boulware lost his life in a car accident, the infamous photo was shot.
On December 27, 1984, the Minnesota high school student and his three pals who survived the event were driving to a Prince performance.
While they were travelling through St. Paul, the driver lost control of the vehicle due to the fog, causing it to go off the road and crash into a tree at an estimated speed of 40 mph.

John tragically died as a result of haemorrhaging from a broken neck.
Police officers took pictures at the scene, and when they were later processed and examined a few days later, they revealed “anomalies” that were beyond explanation.
As a result, one of the images was immediately marketed as the “Screaming Soul” image, which a psychic said validated the afterlife.
Officer Brown Coyle was in charge of using a 35 mm camera to take pictures of the high school student, the vehicle, and the damage from various angles.
During an episode of Casefiles Unknown, he described the famed image: “On the side picture of the vehicle, facing the driver’s door, above the vehicle, about even with where the front seat passenger would be sitting, there was a clear image of a face.”
“It appeared to be in agony … a scream. It had distinctive hair and a distinct profile.”
There does appear to be a little warped face image to the left of the picture, but as many people are aware, strange lines and glares can easily arise in film photographs when there are lights present.
However, Coyle adds, “They could explain some of the small things that are in each picture, but each of them told me they can’t explain all of the things that are going on in one picture.”
“There’s no explanation in my mind. And the experts haven’t been able to give me an explanation either.”
Celebrity psychic Matt Fraser told the Daily Mail: “I’ve seen many images over the years that capture spiritual phenomena, but this one is truly profound.”
The “Ghost that Screamed” depicts a “rare and powerful moment caught between life and the afterlife,” according to him.
“This photo was taken just moments after a tragic accident, and what stands out immediately is the ghostly face, what looks like a man screaming, rising above the wreckage. When I see this, I see the soul in transition,” Fraser added.
He said that it seems to be “screaming” since it might not have completely “realised” that he had passed away.
“There’s often confusion, shock or even a replaying of their final moments,” he said.
But as we mentioned, a lot of individuals have claimed that it’s merely a picture of a terrible disaster that was taken using a light trick.
