Denise Russell's Grandfather

Denise Russell visited her grandmother in the late Summer of 1997 in a care home. There were a few photographs taken and this was one of them.

Her grandmother died some time later and over Christmas 2000 the family were browsing some old photographs and happened upon this one again. It was then that they noticed the man in the background.

The family were stunned as they recognised the man as Denise's Grandfather. However they cannot explain his appearance as her grandfather has passed away in 1984.

Mabel Chinnery's Mother (The Back Seat Ghost)

Mrs. Mabel Chinnery was visiting the grave of her mother in 1959 along with her husband. Mabel took a camera with her to photograph the gravesite. When she was finishing up she took an impromtu picture of her husband who was waiting alone in the car.

Mr. Chinnery with a passenger?

When she had the photographs developed she noticed that maybe her husband was not on his own. Sitting in the back-seat was someone who resembled Mrs. Chinnery's mother. 

Back Seat Ghost

Experts agree that the photograph is genuine and not a reflection or double exposure. Could this be her mother sitting in the back seat?

The Solway Firth Astronaut

In May 1964 Jim Templeton took his daughters on a day trip with the rest of his family. Being an amateur photographer he took his kodak camera with him to take some pictures of his daughters on Solway Firth.

During the afternoon he took a picture of one of his daughters on Burgh marsh in her new frock. When the picture was developed he was shocked to see a figure in the background; even though they were on their own at the time.

Who is in the background?

On the other side of the world, at the same time that the photograph was taken, a military exercise had to be aborted because of a large object hovering over Woomera Test Range accompanied by two large men in white spacesuits. When the picture above was seen in Australia, on the front page of a newspaper, the man in the background was recognised as being the same as the figures spotted at Woomera.

Coincidentally the rockets regularly fired from Woomera were manufactured close to Solway Firth in England. Were the man on Solway Firth and the figures spotted in Woomera connected?

The Amityville Horror Ghost Picture

The Amityville Horror was a very famous haunting in Long Island. The Lutz family fled the house and were too scared to return after a nightmarish 4 weeks in the house. The previous residents, the DeFeo family, were murdered in their beds including four young children.

In 1976 an investigation was conducted by Ed and Lorraine Warren and among a series of photographs taken by an automatic camera throughout the night was this one.

Gene Campbell, who set up the camera, only noticed this photograph in 1979 where the figure of a small boy can be seen in the doorway on the left. 

The entity is thought to be a young boy who used to play in the house.

The Newby Church Ghost

This photograph was taken by Reverend K. F. Lord at Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England in 1963.

All efforts to prove that this photograph was somehow faked have proven fruitless, including a double exposure. The church had no previous history of haunting and yet the presence of this nearly ten foot tall ghostly figure cannot be explained.

Training Facility of HMS Daedalus

It shows the squadies grouped together with one additional friendly face. Behind one of the officers in the picture is the face of an air mechanic named Freddy Jackson.

The only problem is that Freddy Jackson had died two days earlier in an accident with an airplane propellor.  

His funeral was on the day the photograph was taken.
