Is this a ghost?
102 Answers
I mentioned in a previous thread about a photo I have with a "ghost" have a look and see what you think. I don't actually believe in ghosts but this photo has me questioning my belief just a little.
The photo was taken with a phone/camera, I know it has not been manipulated and I know the person who took the photo very well, she has never seen the the little girl in the back ground.
Im certainly not saying this is a ghost but I cant explain how this has happened either.
See the pic here.

MarkRae...a complete explanation of the 'haunting' of Borley rectory is given in Robert Woods' fascinating book "The Widow of Borley" (Duckworth 1992).
At the centre of it all were the Reverend Lionel Foyster and his wife Marianne. He was weird and probably a paedophile, while she was a nymphomaniac, bigamist, liar, thief, blackmailer and possibly murderer. It was Marianne who faked most of the "hauntings" with her husband's connivance. She was exposed by Harry Price during his ghost-debunking phase, but after the Foysters had left Price took over, having confided to a friend that faking ghosts was more lucrative than hunting them. He carried on with the 'hauntings'.
The human beings, as revealed in this book, are far more interesting than the "ghosts"!

Yes Sith it is a fake. Knowing the girl that took the photo, i Know she could never have photo shopped the pic but with that app on her phone, im sure she could point and click and I fell for it :-) good on her lol.
Just when I was thinking that "just maybe their is something in this ghost thing"
I want to believe but its a strange thing that you want to believe but you just cant! I know so many people have supposedly seen them but I just cannot convince myself, it just sounds too far fetched, without any apparent reasons.

Naomi, My good lady has told me that she has seen a ghost and used to hear a young girl crying in this very house (it appears a young girl perished here in a fire) she says has seen the ghost of her Father. I don't disbelieve her but I think what she saw was possibly a figment of her imagination, I know she wouldn't lie to me.
I am becoming soft on the issue, I no longer insist they don't exist, I just dont believe in them, or is that the same thing?
I want to see one myself.

To be honest, If I saw a ghost It would scare the crap out of me!!
I thought I saw a ghost once, it was late at night at work, I was checking on residents in bed, when I looked in on a lady in bed that could not even move a limb, I saw this ghostly white figure arise from her bed, absolutely terrified, I closed the door quickly! I gathered a little composure enough to go back into the room to find another little old lady with white hair and wearing a white nightie sitting on the edge of this ladies bed, she decided she wanted to share her bed, she was very much alive and kicking. I was actually shocked at just how frightened I was.

Naomi [to Ratter] - “... If you really don't believe 'ghosts' exist, as you have always said, why did it scare you? Didn't you instantly think 'I must be imagining it'?
Sorry to interject but I think that it's simply because it was a shock and not something that Ratter was mentally prepared for. When something shocks you, no one – no matter how rational and calm they are in everyday life – can predict how they will react. Certainly, no one will immediately think, “It's a ghost!” and flee in Scooby-doo style. They may come to the conclusion that they've seen a ghost later when they've had time to compose themselves and replay the incident in their head. But in the instant they are startled, the primitive instincts kick in, the fight or flight survival mechanism is in the ascendency and rational thought has long since left the building.
