The Brown Lady

Probably the most famous ghost picture of all time, taken in 1936 by photographers Captain Provand and Indre Shira while shooting for Country Life magazine at England's historical Raynham Hall, which is said to be haunted by Lady Dorothy Walpole, who once lived at the Hall. She is known as The Brown Lady due to reports of the spirit being seen wearing a brown brocade dress. She officially died of smallpox, but rumors have it that she was pushed down the stairs by her husband after learning of an affair.



Toys R Us ghost

This image was caught on infrared film during a paranormal investigation at a Toys R Us in Sunnyville, California. The man seen leaning on the wall was not observed with the naked eye. Furthermore, high speed film shots taken at the same time as this one showed no trace of the leaning figure! The investigation that yielded this photo was not conducted without good reason....click here for more info


House Fire girl ghost

This picture was taken by Tony O'Rahilly in 1995, as Wem Town Hall, Shropshire England, burned down. The girl in the doorway was not seen at the time when the photo was taken. When examined by photographic expert Dr. Vernon Harrison, former president of the Royal Photographic Society, the photo was deemed genuine, in that it was not tampered with. In 1977 there was another fire in this place, started accidentally by a young girl by the name of Jane Churn. Is this her ghost?



Ghost of R.A.F. Airman

A ghostly face can be seen in this group photo of R.A.F. Airmen taken in 1919 by Sir Victor Goddard. (R.A.F. officer retired) Lending credence to the idea that this is actually a real picture of a ghost is the fact that members of the squadron pictured, easily identified the man. It was their fellow airman Freddy Jackson, an air mechanic who had been killed two days earlier in an accident involving an airplane propeller. The man in the close up is located in the top row, fourth from the left. Note the face to the right of the man pictured in the zoom....


The ghost of Chloe
Myrtles Plantation

A frequent visitor at Myrtles Plantation is the ghost of Chloe, a former slave hung for murdering two little girls. General Bradford's son in law, Clarke Woodruff, cut off the black woman's ear for eavesdropping, and she took her revenge by mixing oleander in the children's birthday cake. This photograph shows what many believe to be the ghost of Chloe seen standing between the two buildings.


Boothill Ghost

This photo was taken at Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone Arizona by Terry Clanton, cousin of the legendary Clanton Gang who shot it out at the OK Corral with the Earps and Doc Holliday. Clanton, also the webmaster of TombstoneArizona.com says "This is the photo that changed my opinion about ghost photos." He insists no one was in the background when the picture was shot. Pictured is a friend of the Clantons, the picture was made to look like an old west type photograph.


Back Seat Ghost

This photo was taken in 1959 by Mrs. Mabel Chinnery. Apparently no one was in the backseat when the picture was taken. Mrs. Chinnery recognized the person as her dead mother, whose grave she had just visited! She staked her reputation on the authenticity of the photograph.
