The Apparition Phase by Will Maclean

As children, two friends take part in a makeshift séance and a single photograph from that night appears to capture a ghostly figure; decades later the surviving friend becomes obsessed with the image and returns to unravel the truth, uncovering a mix of theatrical showmanship, buried trauma, and the unsettling way memory, grief and the possibility of the uncanny can haunt ordinary lives.
