Ghosts & Hauntings

Eerie figure photographed at Hampton Court

Does the ghost of a woman haunt Hampton Court ? Image Credit: CC BY 2.0 Cristian Bortes
Two schoolgirls got the fright of their lives after going over the pictures they took during their visit.
12-year-old Holly Hampsheir and her cousin Brook McGee had been enjoying a day out at England's historic Hampton Court, a 16th century palace that remains a popular tourist attraction.

As they walked around the building Brook took some photographs of Holly on her iPhone and thought nothing more of it until the two girls looked over the pictures later on that day. They were horrified to discover that one of the images showed a tall, dark figure standing right next to Holly as she was walking past a fireplace.
The bizarre apparition appears almost twice the size of the 12-year-old and possesses long locks of flowing hair that cascade down to below her waist. The figure's face cannot be seen on the image but she appears to be wearing a blue dress or robes that seem eerily old-fashioned.

The image, along with a second empty shot of the same room, can be viewed - here.

Neither of the girls had seen anything at the time the picture was taken and there was nobody else in the room that could account for the peculiar proportions of the figure in the photograph.

guys... i can't stretch this possibly enough...... http://www.vamshare....orama-glitches/ "On every iPhone, there is a simple feature that allows you to take panoramic photos. The camera setting works by taking a picture while you move your camera from left to right. Most of the time, it works like a charm. However, sometimes whatever you’re taking a picture of will move. Or maybe your hand will slip a little during the recording process. When that happens, the camera will glitch… resulting in a weird, photographic nightmare." I'm really experimenting and beginning to see your point. (yup ... [More]

It sort of stinks we have completley moved on from film to digital. With film you could examine the negative and get answers easily. It wouldn't make any difference. In the digital age, it's far easier to post online for others to examine, the digital equivalent of a negative (the image file *exactly* as it came from the camera), but we never get that. Instead we get downsized, overprocessed, cropped, overcompressed, etc. images published online with the EXIF data stripped out.I completely understand why that happens. Websites resize and compress images to optimize them for online viewing (fit... [More]
