If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I'm not sure I understand, where is the supernatural here? Cameras are pretty damned natural.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You want to try and convince us of the supernatural and you want to use ghost pictures to do it?

I actually edit photos for fun and I am noticing a couple of cheats on a lot of these photos. Resolution and quality differences which do not correlate to their time and some of them look outright obvious. I think it is the newby church photo which literally looks like a mask over a man's face.

Why are these people roaming the earth after death, why arent they in heaven or hell?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

We see faces and other things at one resolution that we don't at another. It doesn't make the faces real. Your images in photos are as real as the "faces" on mars. The cause is the same, our desire to make sense of the random.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
