Initial data
Photograph of the library at the Abbey of Combermere was made by Sibella Corbett in 1891. On the chair, you notice a human figure, which is reportedly the Ghost of Lord Combermere. At the time of photographing Lord Combermere was buried four miles from this place. write down what the exposure lasted about an hour.
Parapsychology sir William Barrett researched the photo in 1895 and assumed the Ghost was a servant who briefly sat in the chair during the exposure of the photo. However, Sybell Corbett, daughter-in-law Lord, argued that all the men-servants was much younger than what was depicted, and they all attended the funeral.

Original news
Taken by photographer Sybell Corbet in 1891, Lord Combermere’s figure can hardly be seen sitting in his favourite chair in Combermere Abbey, England. The second Viscount died after being hit by one of London’s first electric motor taxis. It is said that while Corbet was taking the picture above, Lord Combermere’s funeral was held a few miles away. It is interesting to note that if the character’s head, necklace and right arm are clearly recognizable to those who knew him, also, his legs, seriously damaged during the accident, are mysteriously absent from the photograph.
Hypotheses
Multiple exposure or multiple exposure
A special device, which is that the same frame is exposed ("photographed") several times.
Mounting
Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)
Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure
Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.
Investigation
On the website diyphotography.net you can find the information that the photographer Mathieu stern has recreated this photo of a Ghost:
He suggested that the "Ghost" is sitting on the chair and spread her legs, so they are not visible in the photo.
Overall pretty similar, although people in the original picture was clearly moving much more, because his head looks much more blurred. By the way her face difficult to read, so it is difficult to estimate the age depicted (contrary to the assertion of Sybell Corbett).
