The skull face shape is a little, I dunno, obvious don't you think? It seems a little too hokey to me. But then again....

I've seen this one before, I don't think its a ghost. But I think its what a ghost photo should look like.

I like it.

Does anyone know if it was customary to bury monks with shrouds? If so, why would there be eye-holes in them? If it wasn't for the white shroud I would consider the possibility.

I don't care what you guys think disgust.gif I think that this is a real ghost. I mean it looks so sad sad.gif;

I do believe it does look like a monk and some ghosts grab your attention by means of putting themselves on pictures.

Happy Holidays

This is my favourite ghost photgraph of all time, and the one I think is the exception to the rule, that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

It has actually passed tests by Kodaks labs, and was considered genuine by arch-sceptic Arthur C Clarke.

Personally, I don't think it's a monk, either. More a leper, or a badly-deformed person. Ayone ever see `The Elephant Man'? He wore the same hood. I've also read somewhere that the figure is estimated at 8 to 9 feet tall. Hardly a `standard monk', figure.

Yeah, I agree. I thought 'leper'. Lepers were allowed to attend services where churches had something called (I think) a squint, to separate them from the congregation.

Maybe some older churches have remnants of their pagan predecessors or certain spirits attatched to them or their graveyards to watch over the 'inhabitants'. Could be something like the Welsh Angelystor too. w00t.gif

I love the people who say stuff like "looks like the mask in the movie SCREAM, he-he, it can't be real! he-he-he!".

If the pictures that old, and so many of you have seen it sooooo many times, and professionals can't determine it to be a fake... and even if it were a fake, made in the 60's, before most of you even existed, I still have to salute the guy that decided to make a horror movie and researched some old ghost photos from some book somewhere first. If he did use the mentioned pic as a muster for his mask in the movie, then I'm quite sure he is the one going "he-he-he!!!" right now with his fat bank account! laugh.gif

Anyone know how many of those masks sold? ohmy.gif

It always reminded me of the Grim Reaper. And is it near a funeral casket thing or something?

For the record, the mask in the movie 'Scream' is based on the painting "Scream" by Edvard Munch. Wes Craven has stated this several times. The design of this character had nothing to do with the photo of The Newby Ghost.
