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.

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.

Denise Russell's Grandmother

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.

Woomera Test Range

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.
