Ghosts & Hauntings

Ghost captured on film before demolition

Demolition workers managed to photograph a ghostly figure in a window at an old Victorian guesthouse.
For many years, Frances Grimshaw worked the front desk at the Meadowbank House taking reservations. It was clearly a job she loved; so much so that she appears to have returned there in protest of the destruction of the house, despite dying last year. Demolition workers about to knock down the building believe they've taken a photograph that shows her peering through the glass of one of its windows.
The image is said to bear an eerie resemblance of Frances Grimshaw, who worked at the guesthouse and stood for hours at the same window taking bookings. David Grimshaw, a former resident at the property, said he was convinced the figure is the ghost of his mother, who died nearly a year ago aged 87.

Skeptics, believers, true, false, fact our fiction, doesn't matter. The second I saw that it was reported by the telegraph it lost all credibility to me. Is it a ghost? Could be. One of the demolition crew doing a final walk through? Makes sense. Photoshopped by a notoriously ”questionable” news outlet? A strong possibility.

The thing that gets me with pictures of "ghosts" is that they are mostly always dressed ?. I thought that when you died,you took nothing with you,no money,clothes,Nothing...so how are these apparitions dressed in clothes ?...If this had been a shadowy human figure I could believe it may be authentic,but I guess someone is "aving a larff"....

The image is said to bear an eerie resemblance of Frances Grimshaw Definitely looks like a woman dressed in an old fashioned dress It looks like a man, wearing a red plaid shirt, looking out a foggy window looks like a ghost with his hand over his face. Like when you try to block out your face when someones taking a picture of you. and looks like an fashioned dressed man MusicalProphecies'[/color]]looks like a smudge too me Heh. That says it all really When I looked at it I thought it looked like Benjamin Franklin holding his hand up to his face as if rubbing his eyes because he's tired.

looks kind of like a dude standing thre with one hand in his pocket and his face obscured by water on the window to me... could be a ghost, could be a guy just standing there, could be a reflection, could be a trick of the light... photos like this make it really easy for anybody to see what they want to see in it.

I do believe in ghosts because I have seen one but you can see a reflection of what may be a building, could she be a reflection?

That could be anything. When I go, there's no way I'm taking clothes with me. Buck naked all the way.

Could someone please explain something to me? Why is it that when people take pictures of ghosts, the ghosts always show up in the photos even though the people claimed to have seen nothing when the pic was taken, but when -at least on the silly ghost hunters shows - the crew "sees" a ghost and has their cameras pointed right at it, there is never any evidence on the film? Do ghosts have some way of knowing when someone is just taking a random photo as opposed to when they are trying to gather evidence?

Could be anything; the condensation on the windows doesn't help.
