Les Apparitions fugitives, sold in the United States as The Fugitive Apparitions and in Britain as Short Lived Apparitions, is a 1904 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 550–551 in its catalogues.[1]

Méliès plays the magician in the film, which uses substitution splices, dissolves, and multiple exposures to create its special effects.[2] A paper print of the film survives at the Library of Congress.[3]
