IT’S GHOUL BRITANNIA
Five of spookiest snaps ever will give you shivers
SOME of Britain’s spookiest moments are revealed in these chilling photos.
The terrifying snaps have been released from a paranormal archive.
Editing apps on modern-day smartphones mean it’s child’s play to create fake figures in photos.
But no such technology was available when these five pictures were taken.
The Rev Hardy from Canada photographed a horrifying spirit clutching a bannister with both hands when visiting the Queen’s House in Greenwich, south-east London, in June 1966.
The vicar said he saw nothing in front of him by the staircase until the photo was developed.
It looks as though a man dressed WHO ARE PEW? An apparition at a church in Eastry, Kent, which was snapped in 1956 in a white night gown is gripping the banister as he leans forward, looking down at the floor.
Another staircase haunting, considered to be one of the most famous ghost photos in the world, was taken in 1936. The chilling snap apparently shows a spirit known as the The Brown Lady.
The spook’s name when alive was thought to be Dorothy Townshend and she is seen making her way upstairs at Raynham Hall in Fakenham, Norfolk.
But not all mysterious photos are dark and gloomy – as a fireman found out in 1964 when he snapped his daughter holding a bunch of flowers in Cumbria.
Jim Templeton was left speechless when a spaceman appeared to photobomb his portrait of daughter Elizabeth on Burgh Marsh. He had no explanation for the figure’s presence behind her.
Two of the spooky images were snapped in churches.
A black and white picture taken by a bank manager called Mr Bootman in 1956 appears to show a man sitting on a church pew in Eastry, Kent.
The man, deep in thought, looks like he is wearing glasses and a vicar’s dog collar while he puts his hands together.
Not a lot is known about the second church picture, which shows a figure assumed to be a priest in prayer at the altar.
The grainy shot, from the 1940s, was taken at St Nicholas Church in Arundel, West Sussex, and has had people scratching their heads ever since.
