In 1936, a photograph was taken at Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England. The ghost is believed to be that of Lady Dorothy Townshend (“The Brown Lady”). She was evidently the wife of Charles Townshend in early 1700s. They resided in Raynham Hall. It is perhaps the utmost renowned ghost photograph taken so far. Rumor had it that before marrying to Charles, she had been the lover of Lord Wharton. Charles suspected her of infidelity. Although according to legal records she was buried in 1726, it was alleged that the procession was a bogus and that Charles had locked his wife away in an isolated place of the house till she died years later.
Rev. Ralph Hardy, a retired clergyman, took this now celebrated picture in 1966. He envisioned simply photographing the lovely stairway in the Queen's House section of the National Museum in Greenwich, England. A cloaked figure climbing the stairs was discovered upon developing the photograph. It seemed to grasp the railing with both hands. Specialists probing the original negative established that it had not been tinkered with. It is said that mysterious figures have been seen occasionally in the locality of the stairway, and unsolved footsteps have been heard.
Mable Chinnery visited the grave of her mother in 1959. She took various pictures of the graveyard and then turned and took this photograph of her man sitting alone in the car seat. On developing the film, it showed someone sitting in the backseat wearing sunglasses. Mrs. Chinnery blasphemed that the "backseat driver" was none other than her own mother.
November 19th, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England was swamped in fires and scorched down to the earth. As firefighters tried to plank off the blaze a town local, Tony O'Rahilly, took photographs from across the road using a telephoto lens on his camera. A girl was standing in a doorway with flames behind her. None could recall a small girl at the scene with such a close proximity to the fire. An expert concluded that the picture was 100% genuine. Okay, what is the ghost of a small girl doing in such a fire?
In 1677 a fire devastated many of Wem's households. 14-year old Jane Churm was accused of being careless with a candle, which in turn led to the fire. She died in the fire along with others, since then her ghost is said haunt the place.
