This photo of the 85/86 graduating class resides in a trophy cases at El Paso Highschool.
What is odd is that it shows the image of someone no one remembers to be there, and what is more the ghostly extra does not appear in the negative.
Fact or Fiction? You Decide!

Class Photo Ghost?
Legend states that this school photograph looks completely ordinary until you notice the extra figure who seems to be a little out of place. She is slightly smaller than the others (graduating students and their teachers), out of focus (the class photo is focussed as you would expect, but I can only find low resolution scans online) and almost looks like she was inserted into the image after it was taken. The negative itself is strange, as those who have seen it state that the 'extra' is not present at all.
What is going on here?
Well there are several different theories ranging from ghost through to fraud. Obviously it’s the ghost theory that it is shared here, and so, if it is the image of a deceased person, who could it be?
El Paso High School has many legends, rumours and ghost stories, that take part in just about every location on the schools grounds, but the one that people believe is linked to the photograph concerns a suicide that allegedly took place there in the early 1980s. She was a young student, who took her own life by cutting her wrists and jumping from the fourth floor (and several reasons as to why are theorised).

The El Paso Ghost Girl? Ultimately this resulted in her death, but she could very well be still around.
Many people have reported seeing a young girl plunge from the upper floor, only to have no one found where she should have hit the ground. A well known ghost story, or a made up urban legend... you decide... but she is a good candidate for whoever it might be that made it into the class photo of 85/86.
Was the image of a dead student captured in this photo?
Is it something else... a imperfection that took place during the development process?
Maybe it was someone living who was there but was not noticed or remembered?
