==Versions==
===19 Ghosts III===
This is the only known version. This song is highly percussive. It begins with clanging metallic percussion with heavy reverb, with a delayed electronic beat underneath. The reverb dissipates and more percussion layers form. Atonal static guitar noises join, serving as an additional percussive element. A synthesized bassline that enters during the middle section is the only tonal piece in the song. After it fades out, the percussion ends abruptly.

==Live==
"19 Ghosts III" was debuted live at the secret show in Los Angeles, California on [[2008/07/19 Los Angeles, CA|July 19, 2008]]. It was a staple of the Ghosts part of the Lights in the Sky set.

==Differences in Artwork==
It should be noted that much of the artwork embedded in the files of the official download of ''[[Ghosts I–IV]]'' from [[nin.com]] are not just cropped versions of the photographs in the PDF.  In this case, the two photographs are completely different.
