This picture was taken in Madrid.
If you look above the seated man slightly to the left you can see the shape of a lit up male figure. I thought the shape was quite similar that of “Ghost in distance” and “Ghost in field”. I found it quite eerie. Would be very interested in what you made of it.
I am from Croatia. This image has been taken at 14 march 2008. It was my 18 birthday and I celebrated it in an old community center. The next day when I looked at the pictures I found something strange on one picture. I have taken a picture of my two buddies with a mobile phone mark sonny ericcson model K750i. The picture is not in high quallity but it can be seen a skeletal face over their heads. We studied on net and we have come to know that this is a ghost. Thank you for your time, and sorry for my bad english.
This picture was taken on Oct 30th 2006 at Apollon Temple (Didyma, Turkey) On the right hand of me and my son, there is a void under the overturned column.Look there carefuly.You’ll see a shape like a human head and nearly same bigness.
Look at what was discovered under the bridge when a picture was taken of an accident scene in Malaysia. Something creepy peering out from the shadows. The face was not noticed until after the film had been developed.
This picture was first shown back in 2003 when this ghost was spotted on closed circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, England.
Security guards had seen the figure in closed-circuit television footage after checking it to see who kept leaving open one of the palace's fire doors. In the still photograph, the figure of a man in a robe-like garment is shown stepping from the shadowy doorway, one arm reaching out for the door handle.
The area around the man is somewhat blurred, and his face appears unnaturally white compared with his outstretched hand.
"It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn't look human," said James Faukes, one of the palace security guards. "My first reaction was that someone was having a laugh, so I asked my colleagues to take a look. We spoke to our costumed guides, but they don't own a costume like that worn by the figure. It is actually quite unnerving," Faukes said.
The palace, built in 1525 on the River Thames 10 miles west of central London, is a popular tourist attraction and some of the guides wear costumes of the Tudor period. Wood said she was hoping people would come forward with similar stories and try to explain the figure.
The palace has been the scene of many dramatic royal events, and already is supposed to have a few ghosts. King Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour, died there giving birth to a son, and her ghost is said to walk through one of the cobbled courtyards carrying a candle.
Her son, Edward, had a nurse called Sibell Penn who was buried in the palace grounds in 1562. In 1829 her tomb was disturbed by building work, and around the same time an odd whirring noise began to be heard in the southwest wing of the palace. When workmen traced the strange sounds to a brick wall, they uncovered a small forgotten room containing an old spinning wheel, just like the one Penn used to use.
Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, condemned for adultery, was held at the palace under house arrest before her execution at the Tower of London. An 1897 book about the palace says she was reportedly seen, dressed in white and floating down one of the galleries uttering unearthly shrieks.
Another particularly creepy ghost picture. This picture was taken in the 60's when a family had bought a new car.
When they were showing it off for the camera the face of a man showed up in the back window of the other car in the driveway. There was nobody in either car at the time so it was a real shock for them to find they had taken a ghost picture.
What made it even more of a shock was that the face looked very much like the dead father of the man posing for the picture. The same man that had taught him how to drive years before.
This photograph was taken in an old Irish prison called the Crumlin Road Prison. The prison was built around 1843 or 1845. There were 17 prisoners executed there, the last being hanged in 1961. Fifteen of the 17 men who were hanged, were buried in unmarked graves in unconsecrated ground around the prison walls.
Several prison staff have also been killed there by prisoners and there has also been suicides. The man in the photograph was with a group of painters who were doing some renovation work. He climbed into an empty coffin for a joke and his friends took photographs of him on their mobile phones.
The photograph was taken in the execution cell 13 which was the cell where prisoners would spend their last night before being led to the hanging gallows to be killed. If you look to the left of the mans face you can clearly see a ghostly face!
Many other sightings have been reported in this prison. There have been many terrible things that have happened in the prison. Many people feel a sudden coolness come over them when they enter the execution room and many have even heard cries.
This picture was taken at a camp these friends were staying at one summer. As they were going through all the camp photos, they found something very unusual about this one. I clearly see the image of a spooky girl in the background. She appears to be holding something in her hands. I see her entire body. They say that there were no women at camp and especially none that looked like this! I guess this could be an illusion, but what of? Maybe you have an answer for this.
This picture has been passed around a couple of years ago, the scene is a Wilhoit cemetery in Ohio. The participants were dedicating a grave site with a new marker, and re-enactors were present. A couple of the re-enactors posed for a memory shot and got more than they bargained for.
The building had no-one in it, and through the open window on the left is a fairly clear image of what is clearly a ghost-like woman sitting and watching. The image in the window has been cropped and enhanced, but with no further alterations, (adjusting contrast). Interesting image to say the least. They call her the Wilhoit Ghost.
The Picture was taken of a home in Ravenna, Ohio. It was taken by the owners' 14-year-old son, May 2008. It shows what looks like a young girl in human form looking out the window. She appears to be wearing a blue outfit. The owner of the house and her son were the only ones home at the time and there are no younger children in the family. They have no idea why a young girl would show up in the window of the house. The house has been reported to have had a history of supernatural activity but never to the point of seeing an apparition, at least until this point. The house was built in the early 1930s.
It was a cold and lonely night. I don't know why I decided to take a shortcut though the church grave yard late that night. It must have been fate that I happened to have my camera with me. A sudden chill feel upon me as I heard a mysterious noise and shuffling footsteps upon leaves. Seeing the ghostly face behind graves to my left, I snapped off a picture with my camera. When I moved the camera away from my eyes the ghostly face was no where to be seen.
Later I examined the photo to see if my eyes had been playing tricks on me. There it was, the mysterious face behind the graves. When I looked closer I could see that it was semi transparent as though it was vanishing into the night. Perhaps a troubled entity still lingering from the past.
This picture shows just the ghostly face from behind the grave stones, so that you can see it better. You can see that the face is semi-transparent and appears to be looking down in the direction of the graves. The rest of the head is not really visible as if it where under a dark hood of some kind.
This photo comes from Darla, who says, "If you can identify or help find a answer to why this creature is in this photo with my grandchildren, we would appreciate it."The answer is that it is not a creature at all, but merely the simulacrum of a creature or strange-looking face on the water. Reflections on glass, windows and water are notorious for creating such illusions. Some paranormal researchers believe that spirits more readily reveal themselves in such reflections, but I don't think there's good evidence to support that. They are just interesting reflections that happen to look like familiar forms.
Now if your Uncle Ned died in your house and you capture an image in a reflection that looks exactly like your Uncle Ned, then we might have something to talk about.
"Camping with my friends a few weeks ago," Mike says. "The head seems to be a small boy. It wasn't there when I took the photo. I can account for everyone in this photo (7 of us including me), but not the head."Unless this photo has been digitally tampered with, it's rather puzzling. It looks like a real face and seems too detailed to be pareidolia. What's odd about this ghost, if that's what it is, is that he is staring straight into the camera, as if he is posing, like the rest of the guys. Also, whether he is standing or even sitting, it seems that the lower part of his body would be below ground level. It looks as though he might have a white collar, meaning he is more formally dressed or from another era.
"My husband and I traveled to Chicago to see my sister graduate from college," says Brittany. "The night of graduation, we took her and her boyfriend out for some celebratory drinks. We spent most of the night in what I understand to be an old building, at a champagne bar called Pops For Champagne. In the photo, my husband and my sister's boyfriend were posing for a picture. We were all seated, there were no mirrors or glass of any kind near us. Lots of people were walking past our table, but when we reviewed our photos on the ride home, we could not get over what the figure behind the two boys. Why is it see-through when even the scenery behind it is opaque? If it was a person walking quickly, why is it transparent and not blurry? And what the heck kind of outfit is it wearing? It looks like a space suit."This is a very curious photo indeed and I've had a hard time trying to figure it out. But let's take it point by point:
So, yes, the photographic anomaly could have caused the transparency on the object, but we still have the question: What the heck is that thing!? I can make out the arms and bend in the elbows, but where's its head? And what is it wearing? It seems to be a one-piece outfit of some kind. To me, that's the most baffling aspect of this photo.
Any other ideas out there?
I would love to hear your opinion on this. This was taken in Spice Valley Cemetery in Mitchell, Indiana with a Sony Cybershot. I tend to rule out someone's breath because the image doesn't come in from the edge... it appears to be a freestanding mist.Joscottwade, it is difficult to tell what this might be. Often in pictures like this, such mists, as you said, can be caused by the vapor of a person's breath or cigarette smoke, neither of which seem to be the case here. Another possibility is that it is a patch of water vapor in the air illuminated by the camera flash (invisible to the naked eye), a faint light reflection on the camera lens, or some other photo anomaly. Of course we can't dismiss the possibility that this somewhat human-shaped form (headless?) is an apparition or some other ghost pheomenon.
What's your opinion, readers? And while you're giving us your thoughts, do you think is it more likely to encounter a ghost in a cemetery than anywhere else? Vote in the poll here.
This is a photo of my aunt's wedding day. The year was 1942, and the photo was taken with a box camera. On some of my feedback I'm told it's not really there! Well, I know it is. This picture has been passed down. Please give me some feedback. I would like too see what everone thinks. It was taken in Jasper, Alabama. -- LizIt's an interesting photo. We have three possibilities:
I'm not ready to say it's a genuine ghost. And I think it's too detailed to be pareidolia. So I suspect -- and Liz, forgive me if I'm wrong -- that this is a manipulated photo. And my main reason for saying that is that the "ghost" is just too scary looking, like something out of a horror movie. It's just too theatrical. Your opinion? -- S.W.
Liz responds:
I thank you for your feedback on the wedding day photo, but I do not agree. These pictures were taken before I was born -- that's a long time ago. And when I saw the photos they have never changed. There is a lot about this picture no one can explain, and I think it's something paranormal.
I took this photo at church yesterday, 5th July, 2009 Sydney, Australia. I just purchased a rosary bead bracelet and gave it to my daughter. When I looked at the photo that evening, I noticed the legs did not come out in the photo. The pic is original and taken from my iPhone. I still have the iPhone pic on my phone. -- Jack WarrenObviously, this is not a ghost photo of any kind, but some might consider it "unexplained." After all, where are the girl's legs? I think there might be an explanation for this photo. I think the girl is standing on her left leg, which is obscured by the brown wooden furniture arm. Her right leg, I believe, was kicked up behind her in the instant the photo was taken. I think this is a logical explanation, but the illusion is somewhat startling. -- S.W.
Would you like to see a picture of a ghost? I bought some candy teeth for my niece and nephew; they were pretending to be tigers. I took a picture of them and caught someone watching from the "turned off" TV set! You can just see the glow of the red standby light to prove it was off. It may take you a few seconds to see him, but once you do it will give you a chill. He looks dark-skinned and the left side of his face seems in shadow or missing. There is nothing in the room to cause a reflection on the screen. Even if there were, it would have to be large and close for him to appear so big. I found out later that an Aborigional man was held up in the house with the police outside. He shot himself in the head rather than be taken. If the picture is printed out on good photo paper and taken into the sunlight, you can see his yellow right eye looking straight at you.
I just returned from a trip to the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg. I spent the night with a friend in one of the haunted rooms. Around 12:30 last night, we were watching TV when we thought we heard someone walking in the attic, which was right above our room. We went up to the attic door and didn't hear anything. I assumed it was just an old house settling. We took a few pictures in the house before going back to our room. The remainder of the night was uneventful and we slept like babies. When I returned home this evening, I was showing my brother some pictures I took. He seemed especially interested in one, and told me to let him zoom in on one section. I didn't see anything at first, but after he pointed it out, it was quite clear. The picture was one I took from the top of the stairs looking down into the entry way of the Farnsworth House. I took this picture when we emerged from the room to search for the source of the "mysterious" foot steps. In front of the door there appears to be an arm with a rolled up white shirt sleeve. I am not sure if you would be interested, but the picture certainly caught my attention and I am an open minded skeptic.
Here is a very cool picture I took at Chechen Itza of the Great Pyramid at that location. We were standing on the north side where the "stone snakes" come down: twice a year on the solstices, people gather to watch the shadow "snake" slither from the top to the bottom of the stairs. And if you stand on that side and clap your hands, you can hear this very strange, high-pitched, bird-like "ping," almost like a bullet ricochet or a bird chirp that is on fast-forward.I was taking pictures while my family was clapping and I caught this. This is untouched and I had about 200 pictures on this camera, and this was the only one to show this form. I also checked five other cameras that my family had. Some took pictures at or very near the same time and we were standing side by side but do not show this form.
Zoom in to this picture and you can see a figure quite clearly. It looks very similar to many of the Mayan gods drawn and carved in stone. I don't know what it is. I have never seen anything before or since on that camera that makes me think it is a technical "issue" with the camera. If it is a reflection, it sure is funny; it looks like it is running on the ledge of the pyramid.
[My daughter] was outside with the girls when she decided to take a picture of the two to show the older girl how much her baby sister looks like her. T____ and her baby sister, taken January 9, 2009 in front of their house in Oklahoma. No one else was around them. They live in an old house in a little town. My daughter asked me the day after taking this picture if I noticed a ghostly hand on her shoulder. I said, "Yes! Something is there!" My daughter asked T______ if she felt anything on her shoulder and she said, "No, nothing." At the time the picture was taken, my daughter did not notice it. What do you suppose it is? Do you suppose it is there to harm them? It didn't seem like it since they have lived there for over two years.It sure does look like a hand, but it does not look threatening. To me, it looks like a gentle, protective hand. It definitely seems like a loving gesture. -- S.W.
This is a group photo of me with my co-workers in the early 1990s at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. After careful inspection of the photograph, I noticed a face immediately to my left, also facing the camera. I asked the employee who occupies that office space behind us if she knew who this person was. No she did not, she replied. She also confirmed that she was not in her office that day the photo was taken; therefore, no one could have been in her office at any time. To this day, this phenomena remains a mystery.
While taking photos in our local park, I saw the strange mist in two photos. I don't know if it is something paranormal, or if it was something wrong with my camera. In this photo I captured something really weird. It looks like some ghostly face with glowing eyes to me. By the way, there are no lights or lamps in the distance; there is only a wall and the end of a park. And darkness. So I can't understand how these lights could appeared on the picture.
This amazing photo was taken by photographer and graphic designer Neil Sandbach in 2008. Neil was photographing some scenic shots at a farm Hertfordshire, England, as part of a project for wedding stationery; the couple planned to have their wedding ceremony held there.Later, Neil was astonished when he examined the digital photo on his computer. There, as if peeking around a corner at him, is a ghostly, white, almost glowing figure of what looks like a child. Neil says he is quite sure there was no one there at the time.
There is further corroboration that this is a true ghost photo. Neil had shown the couple the anomalous photo, and before the wedding they asked the staff at the farm if they had ever had any spooky experiences there. They did not mention Neil's photo. Indeed, they admitted that the figure of a young boy, dressed in white night clothes, had been seen on several occasions around the barn.
Apparently, this is the ghost that Neil photographed.
This photo was taken at Corroboree Rock at Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia in 1959. What does not seem to be a trick of light and shadow is a human form, semi-transparent, wearing what looks like a long white dress or gown. More curious, the figure seems to be holding something in the manner that a person holds a camera or binoculars.One posssibility is that this is a double exposure of a living person. In 1959, this image would have been captured on film.
If it is not a double exposure and this is a spirit captured on film, then a number of questions arise: What is the entity looking and why? Do they have cameras and binoculars in the afterlife? Or is this an instance of a time slip in which the camera has recorded a scene from a different time?
It has even been speculated that this figure might actually be a time traveler or interdimentional being, who has been photographed in the act of watching us!
Authorities have warned people to stay away from the Decebal Hotel -- because construction was 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.Only anecdotal evidence for this ghost existed until 2008 when 33-year-old Victoria Iovan snapped this photograph, which indeed seems to show the ghostly image of a tall figure in long white garb. "I photographed my boyfriend in the hotel," said Iovan. "Back home I was shocked to see another woman's shadow in the picture. She looked like a priestess in long white clothes."
Sefton Church is an ancient structure (started in the 12th century and finished in the early 16th century) in Merseyside, England, just north of Liverpool. This particular photograph was taken inside the church in September, 1999.According to Brad Steiger's Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits and Haunted Places, where this photo was found, there was only one other photographer in the church beside the person who took this picture. Neither of them recalled seeing the ghost or any flesh-and-blood person standing there who could account for this image. Because the figure is all in black, it has been theorized that the apparition could be that of a church minister.
Reader Mark Tomlinson reports that a pub next door to the church, called the Punch Bowl, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a man in blue nautical garb, which has been reported there for many years.
A woman named Mrs. Andrews was visiting the grave of her daughter in a cemetery in Queensland, Australia in 1946 or 1947. Her daughter Joyce had died about a year earlier, in 1945, at the age of 17. Mrs. Andrews saw nothing unusual when she took this photo of Joyce's gravemarker.When the film was developed, Mrs. Andrews was astonished to see the image of a small child sitting happily at her daughter's grave. The ghost child seem to be aware of Mrs. Andrews since he or she is looking directly into the camera.
Is is possibly a double exposure? Mrs. Andrews said there were no such children nearby when she took the photograph and, moreover, did not recognize the child at all – it was no one she would have taken a picture of. She remarked that she did not believe it was the ghost of her daughter as a child.
Investigating this case, Australian paranormal researcher Tony Healy visited the cemetery in the late 1990s. Near Joyce's grave he found the graves of two infant girls.
This early 20th Century photo of a beautiful Queen Anne style bureau was taken at the request of a furniture dealer by Montague Cooper, a well-known and respected photographer of the day. Cooper was at a loss, however, to explain the transparent hand that appears to rest near the top of the bureau. Is it the ghost of a previous owner who was reluctant to let it go?
