No 12, the rail road crossing ghost.
A strange legend across the tracks, even though the path is
uphill.surrounds a railroad crossing just south of San Antonio, Texas. The
story goes, was the site of a tragic accident in which several school-aged
children were killed - but their ghosts linger at the spot and will push idled
cars
Since that dreadful accident many years ago, any car stopped
near the railroad tracks will be pushed by unseen hands across the tracks to
safety. It is the spirits of the children, they say, who push the cars across
the tracks to prevent a tragedy and fate like their own.
The second half of this legend is that if a light powder -
like talcum or baby powder - is sprinkled over the car's trunk and rear bumper,
tiny fingerprints and handprints will appear - the prints of the ghost children
pushing the car. Many who have tried it swear that indeed they can see the
evidence of small children's handprints in the powder.
No 11, the white lady at Worstead church.
This photo was taken in 1975 by Peter and Diane Berhelot
during a visit to Worstead church in Norfolk, England. The figure in the photo
appears to be wearing light coloured, old fashioned clothes and a bonnet.
The couple developed the image few months later and Diane
could not remember anyone sitting behind her. They came back and showed the
photo to the reverend, who told them the story of the white lady, a few hundred
years old local legend, a healer, who appears when someone needs to be healed.
Diane remembered that she was sick at the time of her previous visit, as she
was taking antibiotics.
No10, The tulip stair case ghost.
The tulip staircase in The Queens house in Greenwich, is one
of the first unsupported spiral staircases in England, but this is not what
makes it famous, but a ghost story. This photograph was taken in 1966 by a
reverend named Ralph Hardy. His intention was to capture the beauty of the
spiral staircase and his surprise was huge after he developed the film and saw
this shrouded figure climbing the stairs, holding the railing with both hands.
Experts from Kodak have examined the photo and the original negative, and concluded
that it has not been tampered with.
It is said that strange unexplained figures have been seen
around the staircase and also footsteps sounds have been heard without anyone
using the stairs. Other ghostly appearances have been reported over the years
and it is suspected that the place is haunted by ghosts.
No. 9, The brown lady.
This portrait of "The Brown Lady" ghost is one of
the most famous ghost photographs ever taken. The ghost is thought to be that
of Lady Dorothy Townsend, wife of Charles Townsend, the 2nd Viscount of
Raynham, from Norfolk, England in the early year 1700. It was rumored that
Dorothy, before her marriage to Charles, had been the mistress of another man,
Lord Wharton. Charles suspected Dorothy of infidelity. Dorothy's ghost is said
to haunt the oak staircase and other areas of Raynham Hall Residence.
It was suspected that that Charles had locked his wife away
in a remote corner of the house until her death many years later.
She appeared as a ghost for the following 2 hundred years to
people visiting the property scaring them off. The ghost has been shot at with
guns, obviously with no success.
This famous photo was taken in September 1936, by two
photographers who were assigned to photograph Raynham Hall for Country Life
magazine. They saw the appearance, flashed a light and discovered later, after
the film development, their capture. They published the photo in the Country
life magazine in December 1936. The ghost has been seen occasionally again
after.
No. 8, Bachelor grove cemetery
Bachelor’s grove cemetery has been the site for many strange
appearances and phenomena, apparitions, unexplained sounds and sights, even
glowing balls of lights. The image has been taken by Ghost Research Society
during an investigation in 1991.
One of the group members was taking black and white photos
with a high speed infrared camera after experienced few anomalies in the area.
The cemetery was empty. The image has emerged after the film development. A
young women dressed in white sitting on a tombstone. Parts of her body are
partially transparent and the dress style and the haircut seem to be out of
date.
No 7, Electric chair ghost.
The picture was taken by the engineer Fred Leuchter, who was
hired to evaluate and modify the electric chair for executions, as it was old
and needed to be refurbished. Fred took the chair home into his basement
workshop and took few pictures to document his process.
After the photos were developed , he noticed few anomalies
looking like ghostly shapes. He tried to attribute the appearances to the
direction of the light and reflections of the chair surfaces, but still could
not explained the result. Fred thought that the electromagnetic field created
by the electric chair executions might have something to do with imprinting the
after images, which cannot be seen with the naked eyes
No 6, the Romanian Decebal ghost.
Romania is a place full of legends, vampires, werewolves and
hunted ghost stories. Authorities have warned people to stay away from the
Decebal Hotel -- because construction works were taking place on the
150-year-old building. What they didn't warn people about, was the ghost. The
spirit of a tall woman in a long white frock has long been reported at the spa.
The hotel in Romania is rumored to hide ancient Roman treasure, and the ghost,
it is said, appears to protect it from treasure hunters. The image was snapped
by a 33 year old women trying to take few pictures of her boyfriend and was
shocked when she discovered the weird ghostly shape
No 5, the pink lady of green castle.
This is a typical ghost hunting story, as after several
appearances at O’Hare mansion in Green Castle Indiana, 2 ghost busters, Guy
Winters and his friend terry went into a searching trip. They were armed with
cameras and video recorders and spent 2 days and nights looking for evidence of
haunting activities.
They came up with this picture which was seen after
development, and it shows a ghostly women in pink vaporous clothes. They reported also other anomalies and
presences during their stay but have not been able to record them.
No 4, the farm ghost.
This photo was taken by a wedding photographer, Neil Bach in 2008. He was doing a pre wedding
visit to the venue, a farm in Hertfordshire in England. He was amazed seeing
this picture on his computer as he remembers clearly and vividly that there was
nobody there, especially a child dressed in a white robe like that.
He investigated discreetly the people from the farm without
telling them about the photo, and the staff did confirm previous appearances in
the area. This is the proof that this
photo is a true ghost story and not a modern photographer attempt to create
sensation.
No 3, the Australian watcher.
This image was taken in Alice Springs, in Australia in 1959.
It shows a human transparent form, wearing along dress and holding something
like a camera or binoculars. This is not a confirmed ghost story and it is
suspected to be a double exposure, but there are plenty of speculations due to
the fact this images is recorded on film. For whoever understands photography,
a double exposure is possible in low light situations at dusk or poorly lit
interiors, and not in full light as that would render the image overexposed and
burned close to complete white.
No 2, the CCTV ghost.
This is an image of a ghost of a young girl haunting a
mobile phone store. That proves that ghosts are not only old stories but modern
times as well. The spooking looking female can be seen on a night footage taken
by the CCTV system in the shop. She appears to cross the corridors, stops and
looks back at the camera.
No 1, the cemetery ghost baby
This image is from a cemetery in Queensland Australia in
1947. A woman was visiting the grave of her daughter who died a year earlier.
The husband took the photo and discovered the image after the film development.
The image is not of their daughter but another child aware of their presence.
After some enquiries they found out that next grave of their daughter was
another 2 infant girls.
In conclusion a lot of questions are arising from all these
cases.
-
why most of the cases the images emerge after
film development?
-
Are the ghostly apparitions have something to do
with the camera technology
-
The vast majority of the cases happen in England
or United states
Do you believe in ghosts?
Do you believe they are real or just
hoaxes?
I am interested to hear how many of you
believe this could be real.
