Are the posters in that room boys' heroes or girls' fancies?

I live right next to a museum/park called Shibden and somebody claimed to be attacked (i think not 100%) and to have seen a big cat. Took courier by storm for a while and ended up being a dog.

This one still shits me up even today.

Fuck me. That should be the very definition of that "when you see it, you'll shit bricks" meme.

Ahh now we're talking. I love photos like that. So glad this thread has been re-railed.

This was a classic:

 

 

One of the earliest ghost photos, and a classic double exposure I guess.

Ah yes, the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. A little backstory:

This photo was taken in 1936 at Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, by two photographers of Country Life magazine. Raynham Hall was long reputed to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Dorothy Townshend, who died in 1726. The ghost had been seen on many occasions throughout the years when it was spotted descending these stairs by the Country Life photographers, who quickly took a snapshot. This is considered by many to be the most highly regarded and reputable photograph by a ghost yet made.

There's something nobody ever noticed about that until a Fortean Times article pointed it out a couple of years ago. The stairs don't match, particularly on the left. It's just one flight of stairs, not one of those sets with a landing midway down, so that gap on the left where the banister breaks is actually a picture from the wall that's gotten placed there by the double exposure. Everyone was too busy looking at the ghost to see the obvious.

Am I really stupid for not knowing what I'm meant to see?

[JohnnyChimpo]

Yes. Right behind the driver, immediately left of his head there is a dark, mysterious face, with eerie lighting up eyes and eveything.

...and Bob the Builder in the boot.

Looks like a man in the far back seat wearing a pair of glasses to me.

That's just an optical illusion created by the curve of the back seat and light reflecting on the driver's window. The scariest thing about that picture is the driver's gurning monkey-face.

Exactly. But the story goes that there was nobody else in the car when the photo was taken.
