 The Girl in the flames

On November 19th, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England was engulfed in flames and burned to the ground. As firefighters tried to stave off the inferno a town resident, Tony O’Rahilly, took pictures from across the street using a telephoto lens on his camera. There, rather clearly in one of the photos, is what looks very much to be a small girl standing in a doorway, with the brightness of the flames behind her. No one ever remembered there being a small girl present on scene, much less in that close a proximity to the fire. The photo and the original negative were turned over to a photo expert who decided that the picture was 100% authentic: “The negative is a straightforward piece of black-and-white work and shows no sign of having been tampered with.”  In 1677 a fire destroyed many of Wem’s wooden houses. The fire was said to have been caused by a 14-year old girl named Jane Churm, who had been careless with a candle. Churm died in the fire along with several others, and her ghost is said to still haunt the area. Whether there’s such a thing as ghosts or not, it must be said: if this is just a trick, an illusion of smoke and fire that happened to be captured on film, it is coincidence that it just so happened to appear in the form of a girl who also died in a terrible fire at the same location.

 The lady on the Stairs

This photo was taken in 1936 at Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, by two photographers of Country Life magazine. Raynham Hall was long reputed to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Dorothy Townshend, who died in 1726. It was rumored that her husband suspected her of having an affair and locked her away in a remote corner of the house until her death many years later. The ghost had been seen on many occasions throughout the years when it was spotted descending these stairs by the Country Life photographers, who quickly took a snapshot. This is considered by many to be the most highly regarded and reputable photograph of a ghost yet made.

 Freddy Jackson

Taken in 1919, the photo show RAF Goddard’s squadron, who served in World War I but on closer inspection a spooky face can be seen in the back row, it’s believed to be air mechanic Freddy Jackson, who’d be killed in an accident two days earlier. Freddy Jackson’s squadron served on board the H.M.S. Daedalus. Freddy Jackson was killed in 1919 when an airplane propeller hit him. Two days later when the squadron assembled for a group photo, Freddy Jackson faithfully showed up, grinning behind the ear of a fellow comrade. His face was widely recognized in this photo by members of the squadron.

Grandpa

When a Grandson took a photo of his Grandmother, he didn’t expect to see his Grandfather stood behind her. After her passing the family went through the photos and for the first time noticed the man in the photo.

At the end of the first week, there was a picnic for the residents and their families. A family member took this picture. It was taken on Sunday, 8/17/97, the man behind her is her husband who passed away on Sunday, 8/14/84.

 The Monk

Taken at Newby Church in North Yorkshire in 1963 by Reverend K. F. Lord. This is one of the most famous and controversial photographs ever taken, some claim the photo is likely a fake as it’s almost too good to be real, yet experts who have examined the photo say the figure isn’t the result of a double exposure. The “thing” is calculated to be standing nine feet tall, and no one’s found any record of a monk that humongous ever being at Newby Church. Who is it? What is it? Trick of light or something else?

 Chloe

Legend has it Chloe was a slave in the house of the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana who had a bad habit of listening at keyholes to the goings on of the residents. Caught one day in the act by the Master of the house, he lopped off her ear as punishment, forcing her to wear a green scarf over her head to cover the wound. As punishment, she baked a cake with oleander leaves, a common plant in the south that is immensely poisonous. Though the master of the house was her target, her victims became his wife and two daughters, who died in agony a couple days after eating the cake. Chloe fled the house and was lynched by field slaves on the plantation for the wicked light she cast on the rest of them.

 Toys R Us Ghost

This shot was taken under carefully controlled circumstances with numerous witnesses present, making fakery especially difficult. Taken in 1978 at a Sunnyvale, California Toys-R-Us store known for an inordinate amount of paranormal activity, the picture was shot by the crew from the TV program That’s Incredible! The infra-red film image of the young man leaning against the wall was not seen by any of the people present at the time, nor does he appear in the high speed footage shot from the same vantage point at the same time. There’s a story that in 1869 a young man died at the location where the store now stands from an accidentally self-inflicted axe wound.

 The Cowboy

In 1996, Ike Clanton thought it would be a splendid idea to deck himself out in cowboy attire and have his friend take a picture of him while he stood in Boothill Graveyard at the famous Tombstone, Arizona.

Clanton was intrigued by this and set out to recreate the photo with a friend standing in the background and discovered it was impossible to recreate the picture without having the legs visible.

 Tantallon Castle

The group became spooked and fled the building after only a few minutes and it was not until later that Ms Brown discovered the haunting figure lurking in the background of the shot.

Because the figure is all in black, it has been theorized that the apparition could be that of a church minister.

The picture was taken in West Wales around 1903. A copy was taken and presented to a local photography expert. He did not think it is or was intended as long-exposure photography or time-exposure photography.

The seated ghost

GHOST hunters who were exploring an old community hall are claiming a paranormal coup after snapping “the eerie figure of a man” sat in the “haunted” building above a plague pit. Spook chasers Jodie Carman and Chris Hunter claim “the figure’s head and shoulders can clearly be made out in seats a few rows in front of her” and appeared after a series of unexplainable bumps and noises, while they were still, and a woman apparently being possessed.

They insist that no one else was in the old community venue at the time the photo was taken.

Pole Dancing Ghost

These spooky pictures supposedly show two ghosts who haunt a pole dancing school.

The BBC ghost

Alex Walton got a fright when uploading pictures of a celebratory performance by Nigel Ogden at the Sidholme Hotel. The translucent figure of a woman appears to be watching BBC Radio 2 The Organist Entertains presenter Mr Ogden, sending a chill down the spine of those who were sat nearby. Nigel Hyman, who can be seen seated next to the supposed spirit, insists there was no-one next to him. Theories behind the apparent apparition include her being the ghost of a music-loving countess from the 18th century – or just someone standing behind a glass door who was given a paranormal projection through a trick of the light. A medium has described the shape as a ‘spiritual lady’.

The Overtoun Lady

Animal psychologists are baffled by the bizarre phenomenon that has seen up to 600 dogs jump off the bridge for no apparent reason. Explanations range from the curious canines being over-excited, to ghosts haunting the century-old bridge next to Gothic castle Overtoun House. Some locals in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, even claim it could be the spirit of the ‘White Lady of Overtoun’ who has been sighted there for over 100 years.

The Grey lady of Dudley

Is this the spine-chilling moment an elusive ghost said to have haunted a British castle for centuries was finally caught on camera? Birmingham couple Dean and Amy Harper reckon so, after they snapped what they believe is the fabled Grey Lady of Dudley Castle – a notorious ghost said to prowl the grounds of the building dubbed England’s most haunted. The tourist attraction has long boasted spooky goings on and the Harper’s phantom photo is sure to add fuel to the fire that the castle is a paranormal hot-spot. The pair snapped a simple shot of Sharington Range – buildings erected within the castle in the mid-1500s. But they soon spotted some weird goings on as the photo showed upper rooms in the courtyard glowing red and a blurred figure in grey standing in an archway.
