The ghosted photo may be a platinum print transfer. If a vintage platinum print (a high end art-quality form of black and white photography) came into contact with other sheet of paper, folder or book page for a long time the image could transfer to the sheet. Platinum prints were made using real platinum and were largely discontinued around WWII when the price of platinum rose. It was reintroduced in modern times for art photography.
