Is this a ghost?

[RATTER15]

I mentioned in a previous thread about a photo I have with a "ghost" have a look and see what you think. I don't actually believe in ghosts but this photo has me questioning my belief just a little.

The photo was taken with a phone/camera, I know it has not been manipulated and I know the person who took the photo very well, she has never seen the the little girl in the back ground.

Im certainly not saying this is a ghost but I cant explain how this has happened either.

See the pic here.

MarkRae...a complete explanation of the 'haunting' of Borley rectory is given in Robert Woods' fascinating book "The Widow of Borley" (Duckworth 1992).
At the centre of it all were the Reverend Lionel Foyster and his wife Marianne. He was weird and probably a paedophile, while she was a nymphomaniac, bigamist, liar, thief, blackmailer and possibly murderer. It was Marianne who faked most of the "hauntings" with her husband's connivance. She was exposed by Harry Price during his ghost-debunking phase, but after the Foysters had left Price took over, having confided to a friend that faking ghosts was more lucrative than hunting them. He carried on with the 'hauntings'.

The human beings, as revealed in this book, are far more interesting than the "ghosts"!

loobyloo, the "person"/pile of clothes sitting on the chair doesn't concern, but for deffo certain i can see the loch ness monster just under the water.

[looobylooo]

it could be a ghost. The main thing is it was taken on a phone, as you said. so the camera could not have mixed to pictures up or something like that. in truth, i do not know, but i love the pic. its kinda creepy :)

[sith123]

it could have been that app. what phone was it?

[naomi24]

Sith, read the posts. Qix established on page 1 that the picture is a fake. No doubt about it.

[RATTER15]

Yes Sith it is a fake. Knowing the girl that took the photo, i Know she could never have photo shopped the pic but with that app on her phone, im sure she could point and click and I fell for it :-) good on her lol.


Just when I was thinking that "just maybe their is something in this ghost thing"

I want to believe but its a strange thing that you want to believe but you just cant! I know so many people have supposedly seen them but I just cannot convince myself, it just sounds too far fetched, without any apparent reasons.

Ratter, if your lovely lady told you she was absolutely sure she'd seen a 'ghost', would you believe her, or would you say she was imagining it, or lying?

[RATTER15]

Naomi, My good lady has told me that she has seen a ghost and used to hear a young girl crying in this very house (it appears a young girl perished here in a fire) she says has seen the ghost of her Father. I don't disbelieve her but I think what she saw was possibly a figment of her imagination, I know she wouldn't lie to me.

I am becoming soft on the issue, I no longer insist they don't exist, I just dont believe in them, or is that the same thing?

I want to see one myself.

[RATTER15]

To be honest, If I saw a ghost It would scare the crap out of me!!

I thought I saw a ghost once, it was late at night at work, I was checking on residents in bed, when I looked in on a lady in bed that could not even move a limb, I saw this ghostly white figure arise from her bed, absolutely terrified, I closed the door quickly! I gathered a little composure enough to go back into the room to find another little old lady with white hair and wearing a white nightie sitting on the edge of this ladies bed, she decided she wanted to share her bed, she was very much alive and kicking. I was actually shocked at just how frightened I was.

[naomi24]

Oh how funny - but I don't suppose it was at the time.

If you really don't believe 'ghosts' exist, as you have always said, why did it scare you? Didn't you instantly think 'I must be imagining it'?

[RATTER15]

Well Naomi, just for a few seconds I had a real ghost in front of me, I didnt question it until the door was firmly closed between "it" and me!!

I think about this all the time grasscarp, does my head in.

As for ghost, not to sure as there has not been any proof and those TV series in castles with celebs etc are a load of crap IMO!

[sith123]

yes ratter but do you know which app it was. i may have it on my phone :)

[naomi24]

Birdie, ah, and there's me thinking Ratter was tough. ;o)

[grasscarp]

Glad I'm not the only one trt. It makes me feel quite ill to imagine no ending, ever ........

[RATTER15]

Yes Naomi, like birdie said. I bricked it and was out of there like a little girlie! I'm amazed I went back into the room actually.

Thank you birdie!!

[naomi24]

Ha ha! Understandable Ratter. :o)
