A old preacher who wanted to rent a house

There was an old preacher who wanted to rent a house in the country.

The only house available was rumored to be haunted.

Since the preacher didn’t believe in such things, he rented it.

It wasn’t long before the ghost made its appearance.

The preacher told his friends about the ghost, but they didn’t believe him.

They told him the only way they would believe as if he would take a picture of the ghost.

The preacher went home and called for the ghost.

When it appeared, the preacher explained the situation and asked the ghost if it would mind having its picture taken.

The ghost agreed.

When the picture was developed, the ghost wasn’t visible.

Feeling very disappointed, the preacher called again for the ghost.

When it appeared, the preacher showed it the picture and wanted to know why the ghost wasn’t in it.

The ghost thought a minute and replied.

“Well, I guess the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.”
