The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall – A Real Ghost Caught on Camera

On the afternoon of 19 September, 1936, Captain Hubert C. Provand and Indre Shira were taking pictures at Raynham Hall in Norfolk for an article in Country Life magazine. The two photographers had set up their camera at the foot of the main staircase of the hall when Shira suddenly noticed a strange vapour on the stairs. As he watched the vapour started to take the form of a woman and he immediately instructed Provand to remove their camera’s lens cap. He then activated the flashlight and captured the bizarre manifestation on film.

The resulting photograph is perhaps the most famous ghost photo of all time. It depicts a misty, somewhat translucent, hooded female form. The photo was first published later that year, in the December issue of Country Life and has since been much debated. Sceptics have predictably come up with a variety of theories, such as claiming the photo is a double exposure or that there was grease on the lens. However, they have never succeeded in effectively debunking the ghost photo.

That is actually quite a distinct apparition.

I made it larger by going to the site, going to the image, and then control-plusing it. There is something to her left that you can even see in this small photograph on the OP.

It is a black form. What do you think this is?

Very odd.
