Shadow Apparition in Hallway

I took this one particular photo of my cat as he was sleeping funny and I thought it was cute. In the hallway there is a black apparition that is in no was a reflective image or a shadow of any object's in the way. The photo was taken on my Iphone 4 with no flash. The property that I reside in is over 100 years old and I have a lot of activity. I have many other photos of figures in the hallway and other phenomena taken around the house. The activity ranges from faces appearing in the mirror that I have on video and photos of, horrid smells such as sulphur, taps turning on, doors opening, footsteps in hallway, voices, banging, clapping, whistling, lights turning on-off, the list goes on. Sometimes my cats become restless looking out into nothing....

Sailors Ghosts (Pearl Harbor)

This photo was taken by the wife of the coach seen in the picture, inside the Ford Island gymnasium at Naval Station Pearl Harbor. Look carefully in the top right corner of the picture. There are three prominent ghost-like figures that appear in the photo. The photo was taken in the early evening with a digital point-and-shoot camera. Here's something interesting: The evening this photo was taken was also team "picture night". That's why the lady who took this had her camera with her. As well, a professional photographer was present and took lots of photos inside the gym that evening. There is no reason to doubt the integrity of the photo, especially with all of the stories over the years, and the history of that building and the island. A long-time employee on base told that building once also served as a huge pool hall, bar and dancefloor. A place where sailors wanted to congregate. As well, the ancient Hawaiians apparently used Ford Island as a ceremonial place. All of his sure adds to the allure of the photo.

St. Botolph's Church Ghost

In 1982, photographer Chris Brackley took one of the most famous ghost photos ever inside the historic St Botolph's church. When the photograph was developed he was astonished to see a figure standing in old-fashioned clothes. 

High in the church's loft, seen in the upper right-hand corner of his photograph, is the transparent form of what looks like a woman. According to Brackley, to his knowledge there were only three people in the church at the time the photo was taken, and none of them were in that loft. 

The negative was subjected to considerable expert analysis, which revealed that there was no double exposure to the film and it was also proved that none of Chris's equipment was faulty. 

The only explanation for the mysterious figure was that someone must have actually been standing on the balcony when the picture was taken. 

A few years later Chris was contacted by a builder who had been employed on restoration work in St Botolph's crypt. He explained that, in knocking down a wall he had inadvertently disturbed a pile of old coffins. One had come open to reveal a reasonably well-preserved body the face of which bore an uncanny resemblance to the figure that had made an uninvited appearance in Chris's photograph.

Mrs. Ellen Hammell’s Ghost

On March 22, 1959, in the town of Ipswitch in Suffolk, England, Mrs. Mabel Chinnery and her husband drove to the graveyard in which her mother had been buried - Mrs. Ellen Hammell, who had died a week previously - to take pictures of Mrs. Hammell's grave. 

As Mrs. Chinnery returned to the car, she decided to use her last remaining shot to take a candid picture of her husband, waiting in the vehicle. When the pictures were developed, one of Mrs. Chinnery's friends pointed out that Mrs. Hammell appeared to be in the back seat of the car, behind Mrs. Chinnery's husband.

The strange event and picture were first published in the English newspaper Sunday Pictorial of April 19, 1959, and the story hit American newspapers by April 20,  but the photograph itself wasn't seen in the United States until the story got a whole page in the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade for June 28, 1959 (from which the image above has been retrieved).

Freddy Jackson's Ghost

An intriguing photo taken in 1919 seems to suggest it may take awhile for us to realize we're dead.

An RAF squadron during World War I poses for a photo. When the photo is developed and they look at the images there, they see someone who wasn't there when the photo was taken. The man was Freddy Jackson, a mechanic who had died in a tragic accident two days before and had, in fact, been buried the same day the photo was taken.

Why did Freddy feel it was important to appear in the photo? It may be he didn't realize that he was, in fact, dead. Perhaps he was trapped in that nether world between Earth and the afterlife. It may be that serving in a war created such a special bond that Freddy Jackson just couldn't bear to leave his mates behind.

Even though the early part of the Twentieth Century was rife with interest in the paranormal and hoax photos weren't uncommon, the Freddy Jackson photo has so far never been debunked -- and continues to be one of the most talked-about photos in paranormal realms.
