How Spooky is This?
Posted in Just for Fun by Karen Rhodes on October 31st, 2006 Christopher Knight has posted his Top Ten Best Ghost Photographs Ever Taken. This is his number one choice:
It was taken on November 19, 1995 in Shropshire England. The Wern Town Hall was on burning down. Tony O’Rahilly was across the street with a camera and a telephoto lens. He took this photo and you can clearly see a little girl in a doorway. Of course, no one knew of a little girl at the scene. Especially one who would be standing there calmly while the building burned around her. A photo expert verified that neither the photo nor negative had been doctored in any way.
This is where it gets real spooky
Come to find out, in 1677 a fire ran through Wern and destroyed many of the wooden houses. According to legend, a 14 year old girl names Jane Churm accidently started the fire with a candle she had. She and several others died in the fire. Her ghost is supposed to still be there haunting the area. Quite possibly, she can’t forgive herself for what happened and has refused to cross over as self punishment.
Real or not? You decide….
Happy Halloween!!
