In "The Sixth Sense" all of the photos of Cole in his mother's
apartment have a small streak of light in them (presumably
signifying the presence of dead people around him). His mother notices
this at one point, but it is never really remarked upon or explained.
In "The Unborn" an image of a ghost boy shows up in an old photo of
the heroine's mother.
