DD2 19 went out with her pals last night for a run in the car. They ended up in an old ruined building a few miles away. It was starting to get dark. Obviously they were fooling about with their ipones taking pictures etc and when she showed me some of them this morning...... OMG in one you can clearly see the outline of a nun in a doorway and in another a mans face very very clearly. I am totally spooked.
AIBU to tell her not to go back there again in case she brings something/someone home with her ????

If you look at the other doors in the nun one there are white blobs at same height. When I looked at it the second time I didn't see a nun just shadows.

They look faked to me and also like completely different places

The car catching fire is coincidence

And why is it always nuns?

Gileswithachainsaw · 25/07/2014 22:58

Wow!!!

I'd soooo go there for one of those overnight stay ghost spotting session things.

Fab!!

TurboWithAKick · 25/07/2014 22:59

I'd be freaked out too op!

Any local mumsnetters fancy a trip up there? I'd so be up for that!

SouthBySouthWest · 25/07/2014 23:00

Ooh, that's about 20 mins from where I live!

This the link to the place. Well known on my urban exploration forum

RamsaySnowsSausage that 'Noel Fielding' one is totally Noel Fielding isn't it?!

Passmethecrisps · 25/07/2014 23:14

Those pics are great turbo.

I reckon it looks like there is a lot of crap inside on section which are still standing. And it is prime for people mucking about.

Think of it this way - are they likely to have gone a drive to a modern nursing home and take a picture? Probably not bit if ghosts are real the likelyhood is that they will see a ghost of some poor bugger who fell asleep watching homes under the hammer last Tuesday

Passmethecrisps · 25/07/2014 23:14

Fell asleep and died obviously.

LuluJakey1 · 25/07/2014 23:15

I think the face is just the patterns of the stone on the wall behind the window and the figure is just shadows and the same.

FrancesNiadova · 25/07/2014 23:15

Op, you can see the real name of the person who put the pictures on their Vodafone page. This is an open forum. To protect this youngster, please take it down.

inlectorecumbit · 25/07/2014 23:17

Been reported thanks Smile

OP either your daughter is ripping the piss out of you or her friends are ripping the piss out of her and she's relaying it to you.

the first picture- you would have to be looking really fucking hard through a microscope to see a face that has been added to the photo. the second one- is just the way the light is hitting something through the doorway. the engine catching fire? mechanical issue. it happens.

ghost aren't real. and if they were? Noel fielding isn't dead.

RockinHippy · 25/07/2014 23:18

I'm very much a woo believer & have enough personal experience to be very confident in that belief, regardless of any nay sayers.

BUT, that said, however convinced you & your DD are about these photos - something just doesn't feel right & I don't think you have anything

I can see the face clearly & also what you think is a nun, though to me it looks more shadows & building structure & imagination, than anything supernatural - my "spidey senses" Grin just aren't tingling with these ones & I therefore don't think you have anything supernatural to worry about.

Though having looked at Turbos link, I'd be far more worried about accidents than anything else & would be insisting she stated away for that reason alone

TheReluctantCountess · 25/07/2014 23:21

It looks the the Joker. It's frightening.

CautiousVisitor · 25/07/2014 23:22

The face in the round window looks remarkably like Benedict Cumberbatch. Or maybe it's just me. Hmm

CautiousVisitor · 25/07/2014 23:24

Or maybe that (impression) is just what I see, I mean. Not trying to imply that the face was* me...!

TurboWithAKick · 25/07/2014 23:27

Why is it a nun? The place was used as an asylum (old term ) and then a children's home

There was talk of redevelopment into flats

EugenesAxe · 25/07/2014 23:44

I can see how a face would form looking at the wooden slats in the circular opening above the doorway in the picture that's on the 28DL website. And the nun I also think is just shadowy patterns.

I have to say though, zooming the enlarged photo is quite scary!! It really does look like a ghoulish face.

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 26/07/2014 00:08

There is quite a bit on google about it being haunted. Interesting!

lettertoherms · 26/07/2014 00:25

Btw, your 19yo DD says she's 21 on her ig and that the picture was taken five weeks ago...

sorry I looked it up so I could see the picture clearly in my phone before the close ups were posted, nothing nefarious.

LeoandBoosmum · 26/07/2014 01:47

Turbo...

In this pics you posted I see the ghost of a naked woman:

farm6.static.flickr.com/5210/5272103481_d383504aa4.jpg

I'm shaking.... Grin

Actually, it looks like a very interesting place BUT I think those pics have been doctored by OP's daughter and her friends to try to freak people out... It's rare to see one ghost, what are the chances of seeing two on the one night and capturing them both on camera?!

LeoandBoosmum · 26/07/2014 01:48

Cautious.. I thought it looked like Feargal Sharkey in his heyday! Grin

wafflyversatile · 26/07/2014 02:47

They are not clearly anything! Grin.

Have you double checked if Feargul Sharkey lives close by just in case?

MollyHooper · 26/07/2014 03:17

It's a photo shopped picture of Benedict Cumberbatch, well spotted CautiousVisitor!

Here you go. Easy test by looking at individual channels in photoshop.

You can clearly see it's an added face to the photo, and not just shadows creating a face.

Sorry to ruin your daughter's fun. :)
