Found this on a fantastic Photo-blog website called Shorpy.
The photo was taken by a photographer who did just that, take pictures of different things. He took a photo of a guy and, well, the description says it all:
When he developed the picture, Lewis Hine was amazed to see the woman in black in the background. "I'm sure there was no one there," he thought to himself. "Surely I'd have noticed." Puzzled, he went back, found the boy, and showed him the photograph to see if he could remember a woman. The boy turned white as a sheet. "That's....that's my mother," he stammered. "But...but...she died last year...."
