Is there really such a thing?

I honestly don't know. I have my doubts. Real or not , ecto has shown up in countless pics. Alot of that is smoke or vapor. Cigarette smoke is one of the most common things captured as ectoplasm. Wintertime pics can have alot of vapor from people breathing show up in the pics. Some of the older pics of supposed ectoplasm appear to be some kind of thin fabric.

Certainly the thoughts that ectoplasm is real was seriously hampered by 19th century con artists. Cotton wool and other materials being either rolled up a sleeve or held in the mouth until an appointed scary moment.

A good definition and example fake ecto photo:
