Most religious ideas in fact, may come about from people failing to more precisely understand complicated things in nature, technology, psychology. As naturalistic theories tell us.

As far as the old film-based photography goes? Consider what you can get from a "double exposure." If you took 1) a picture of a temple in India, 2) and then forgot to advance the film, you might shoot a picture of your Aunt Mildred on top of the temple picture. And get a print of a ghostly Mildred, hovering above the temple.
