A BBC photographer has caught on camera what appears to be the ghostly image of a man sitting on a chair in the attic of the Edward Jenner Museum in Gloucestershire. Adding to the mystery is the fact that there's no actual chair at that location.
A ghostly image has been snapped at a museum prompting speculation that the spirit of the English scientist Edward Jenner could be haunting his former home.A photograph seems to have captured a hazy image of a man sitting on a chair in the attic of the Edward Jenner Museum in Berkeley, Gloucestershire."

I think that this is a hoax to bring attention to the museum /exhibition. This photo was suposidly taken by a BBC Photographer who was taking photos for the exhibition... Yet the quality of the actual photographs are horrible, they look like they were taken from a mobile phone, not by a professional photographer who was taking professional pictures for an exhibition!!

Well, in defense of the photographer, how does anyone really know how well a ghost will photograph? Maybe this is the best we can get with current technology. (The pan view pictures were done well, though--were they done by someone else and the 'ghost' photo added?) Of course, I am no photography expert--I'd like to hear from a few...I know you're out there. I think it's a really interesting photo. If it is not a hoax, I would say it is one of the better "ghost" pics I've seen.

It looks like there is a sort of smoke or vapour in front of the 'sitting' apparition at the back its possible it could be an affect caused by fogging or moisture on the lens. This would be especially likely to happen if the taker came from a cold place into a warmer environment. As for it being a deliberate hoax i dont think so, a lot of folks who take these pics are not aware of capturing a ghost at the time of photographing.

I wasn't refering to the 'ghost' looking like poor quality, the walls, door frames and the rocking horse leg, are bad quality, low quality, and pixilated, NOT the type of photo I would have thought a professional BBC photographer would take for an exhibition. besides the 'ghost' everything else in the shot, I would have thought would have been high quality and crystal clear for an exhibition photo!?

Very interesting picture. It does look like something sitting between the beds and you can see a head on the bed to the left. Can anyone else see two heads above the "ghost figure" ? One is looking to the left and the other one is looking at the door. It might be nothing but I had to enlarge the picture in photoshop to see it. Does anyone else see them?

That's actually quite a good photograph.

This is an interesting pic. There seems to be a secondary apparition to the right of the figure by the "hand". I am seeing the face hair and shoulders of a female. Actually now that I have zoomed in, it looks more like the original apparition is standing with his hand on the shoulder of a little girl.

I would definately say that was a young girls head on the bed, it looks like the statue of liberties head and you can see the long hair by the side of the face. The figure sitting between the beds looks like its topless and it seems to have something bright on its head. Possibly its eyes?
