Wem Town Hall - Ghost Girl

In 1677 Wem Town Hall was accidently burned down by 14 year old Jane Churm when she accidentally dropped a candle. Locals maintain that her ghost has haunted the Town Hall ever since, over her guilt for those who died. This rumour was not taken seriously until 1995 when Wem Town Hall once again caught fire. An onlooker snapped a photograph of the burning building but it was not until the picture was developed that she discovered a girl amidst the flames.

The photograph clearly shows a young girl inside the burning building despite nobody seeing her at the time. The photograph has been proven to be untouched and unaltered.

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.

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.

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.
