As a kid...
...this photo used to freak me out.

Still gives me the creeps to this day...

Same here
I remember seeing it in a book when I was younger, and it really freaked me out.

There was another grainy black and white photo of a guy driving a car, with a face visible in the back (supposedly the driver's dead mother I think) that creeped me out too.

The guy driving looks creepier to me than the person in the back.

I had that book.
An Arthur C. Clarke book, either the one with the crystal skull or the iceberg skull with the ships stuck in it.

Arthur C Clarke's World of Strange Powers?
It was made into a TV series in the early/mid '80s. I remember when that photo came up onto the screen I freaked. I think they were subjecting several 'famous' ghost photographs to scrutiny and this was the only one that they couldn't find any evidence of forgery with.

Interestingly enough, the location of the apparation in the photo compared to its surroundings would make it out to be 9-feet tall...

Yes
I saw it when I was a kid too. I think even if you're very sceptical about these sort of things (and I think I was even as a wee lad), it's still bloody creepy.
