Tulip Staircase Ghost

This photograph was taken by Rev. Ralph Hardy in 1966 when he was taking a picture of the Tulip Staircase in the National Maritime Museum in London. This is a famous location for ghostly sightings and many people have reported hearing footsteps, slamming doors and children's voices. People have also said that they have been touched and even pinched by unseen hands.



The events have been attributed to a maid that was thrown from the top of the staircase and fell to her death. This may also explain the sighting of an apparition that was seen mopping up blood from the bottom of the stairs.

Boothill Cemetery Ghost

Terry Ike Clanton and his friend wanted no more than an 1880's style black & white picture in period clothes. So they headed to Boothill Cemetery appropriately attired in Old Western gear and armed with a black and white camera. The shoot went smoothly and Clanton went to get his pictures developed.

The Boothill Cemetery Ghost

Clanton (a cousin of the old Clanton Gang, involved in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral) was shocked when he seen the figure in the background of his photograph. There were no other people present at the time but clearly in the background a menacing figure can be seen emerging from the within the graveyard. Clanton a previous skeptic has since changed his views on ghosts.

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery is an abandoned graveyard near Midlothian, Illinois. It has been the site of many stories and reports of unexplained sightings and phenomena including sounds and floating lights. Some people have reported seeing apparitions including a glowing man and a figure dressed as a monk. The Ghost Research Society decided to investigate these phenomena and were armed with multiple detectors including an infra red, high speed camera.

A picture taken by Mari Huff

GRS member Mari Huff took a picture in an area where some of these apparitions has been reported. When developed the image clearly shows a woman sitting on a tombstone, who upon close examination is partly see through. There was nobody except members of the GRS in the area at the time and nobody present at the time can identify the woman.
