Wordless Wednesday - Raynham Hall

Wordless Wednesday - Raynham Hall
The photograph above known as The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall is probably the most famous photo of a supposed ghost ever taken. It was captured on September 19th, 1936 by two photographers, and the photo shows a transparent image, suggestive of a hooded figure, descending a wooden staircase in Raynham Hall, Norfolk, England, long known at the time to be haunted by the spirit of Dorothy Walpole. It is also the most hotly debated "ghost" photo of all time. Believers think it is an actual image of a spirit, while sceptics, and many ghost investigators now discount it. I leave it to you to decide.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, and thank you for stopping by!

I've always thought this picture was fascinating. I'm not sure if I believe it to be real or not, but if it is a fake, someone did a good job. 
wow, that is REAL? That is really awesome!! I believe in ghosts but never have seen one. Happy WW. 
Oh, this is a really famous one. Very intriguing. 
Pleased you shared this, I'll never visit Raynham Hall now! It does look very realistic x 
great photo, I have a place called Rainham Hall nearby which is also haunted 
It does look fake to me, but you never know.... 
Not sure what to think but it is good fodder for discussion. Thanks. 
Norfolk and Suffolk are really haunted though, so many ghost stories around both counties. 
I hadn't seen this photograph before, but it sure looks like a ghost to me. Great post for WW. 
What a crazy photo. 
wow...looks pretty real to me...but I lived in a house with a ghost, so it's easy to make me believe 
It looks convincing to me! :-) 
Oooh, supernatural stuff really excites me! I wanna go there! 
I love it! Now I have to go Google the Ghost tale! Thanks for sharing it. 
Love this photo. If it is a fake...it is a darn good one! 
Hmmm, it occurs to me that a lot of these ghost pictures are rather old. Are they another casualty of the digital age?
