Taken at Norwood catacombs today but a friend who is the very antithesis of anything woo - as am I, mostly. I mean - I can see a person shaped shape - but she insists there was nobody there and I do believe her. What do you think?

Years and years ago, a family friend took some photos of the rooms in their house. When they were developed (this was the 70s), they were covered in images similar to this metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/proni.jpg but in colour. Never explained.

I don't know about it being woo but I've just jumped a mile. Whilst putting ds to sleep,I'd sat on the floor to mn. Ds was drifting to sleep...then sat up & shouted who is that man? I'd just clicked on the picture.

Your friend has forgotten to blur the man's "ghost's" shadow.

Meanwhile, I found this on YouTube, it's fucking terrifying.

Only watch if you weren't planning on sleeping tonight and have a crucifix and holy water to hand.

Swedish - what the hell is that? It's very unsettling! I can't watch the youtube clip - I couldn't even be in the next door room when that Enfield thing was on! So I'm sceptical, but scared. Grin

Are you sure she's not having you on and using a phone app?

Like this one for example? Grin

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/05/2015 22:50

Well I suppose nothing is impossible worra - but if I find out she's been having me on I know where she lives and I've got a pretty much inexhaustible supply of poo! Just saying........... Grin

cuntycowfacemonkey good point, these 'ghosts' are always Victorian.

LucilleLeSueur · 30/05/2015 22:53

I just lightened it up in my photo app. Looks like someone walking away (ie photo of their back) and looking over their right shoulder. Must have been someone who walked into shot as she took it.

She's winding you up. It's easy peasy to manipulate photos and vid clips these days.

WorraLiberty · 30/05/2015 22:54

I don't want to know about you roughage intake Grin

1Morewineplease · 30/05/2015 22:55

Nice one ThingummyJigg!!!!

ThingummyJigg · 30/05/2015 22:57

Sorry MoreWine. I expect you'll never sleep again.

Go on - who else has been brave enough to click?

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/05/2015 22:57

I agree expat - but not for her. Technological Luddite - the term was coined for her!
To me, Lucille, that looks even more ghostly. I swear I can see through it!

Their shadow in on the wall to the right. She's pulling your leg.
Can so,some tell me what the YouTube clip is? I'm having the Wobblies just looking at the still.

FantasticRik · 30/05/2015 23:30

Have a look Hex - dare you....

Ive just watched 'the woman in black'
I aint clicking on no wooo link tonight, no sireee!! Shock

GoofyIsACow · 31/05/2015 00:01

Fucking hell thingumy, that video is freaky! Grin

BernardlookImaprostituterobotf · 31/05/2015 00:05

See through it?! You've talked yourself daft.
Someone started to walk into frame, looked over his shoulder and either backed out or whizzed past.
Your friend has either forgotten as it was so brief and she didn't really register it or is trying to wind you up.
He looks like he's in an M&S jacket fgs! M&S Dave and the unfinished business of the credit note, he's doomed to stalk the earth until he gets a full refund, or at least a 20% off voucher and an apology.

He was died because he wouldn't stop washing raw chicken even though they put a sticker on all the packages now. Tru fax. He laughed in the face of Level 1 food hygiene and safety. Terrible.

charlie0123 · 31/05/2015 00:11

Lol Bernard - you been on the dreaded slow cooked wonders page tonight or what - washingchickengate

BernardlookImaprostituterobotf · 31/05/2015 02:08

Charlie - Yes Blush I can't even remember when I last used my slow cooker, I just stick around for the odd gem. I got sucked in to the thread here about rinsing mince too.
Someone was disrespectful about custard cake...didn't go well Shock Grin

BMW6 · 31/05/2015 06:19

Ghostly?? Nah.

SoupDragon · 31/05/2015 06:29

ThingummyJigg is right. Ghosts don't have shadows and this person has a shadow to the right.

Vivacia · 31/05/2015 06:39

Hex if you watch the video carefully you can make out a ghostly figure moving from right to left in the trees.

Polarmouse · 31/05/2015 07:08

Can anyone else see the ghostly contorted face on the right above his head though? Or is that just me? Tbh when I first opened the picture I thought that was what you were asking about. I didn't notice the man, who I agree just looks like a man walking through!
