Phantom Viewfinder

Write a story about an old, haunted camera that only takes pictures of ghosts.

An amateur photographer comes across a vintage camera at an estate sale, only to discover that it captures more than pictures. Each time a photo is clicked, horrifying specters from the past appear in the pictures, each with their own tragic story waiting to be told. This prompt challenges the writer to grapple with the grief, joy, fear, and hope of the photographed spirits, raising questions about the nature of death, memory, and the afterlife.
