I'm going to go out on a limb and say....no.


Unless you count Poltergeist, but I assume you're looking for real movies and not documentaries.

White Noise uses "voices from the grave", supposedly.

I searched Wizard of Oz frame by frame for the longest time, and I never saw anything even closely resembling someone getting hanged.

Also, you have to be extremely gullible to believe that the cardboard stand-up of Ted Danson's character in 3 Men is a ghost. Ferfucksake, they showed the stand-up earlier in the movie, and it's clearly Ted Danson's character in a tux and tophat. I cannot believe this is still an issue to this day.

Man, what are the odds that a ghost would manifest itself in the form of Ted Danson in a Ted Danson movie? I hear you can see the ghost of Steve Guttenburg's career in the sequel.

Wizard of oz "hanging man" is nothing more than a bird in the back ground lifting up it's head.
