kreecher, this refers to a post that hellymelly made on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1817547-Does-anyone-remember-this-spooky-experience-told-on-MN (I don't know if you've seen it?). It's quite a long thread; helly's post, describing this weird photo, was on Thu 7 Aug at about 17.00 hours.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's properly made me laugh (and get you being so gorgeous!) after shamelessly lurking on the other thread - alas I have no stories of woo, it passes me by.

I'm on my phone so can't make either photo out clearly, but in the second you appear to be holding some sort of orangey-red fabric? A scarf or something? Is that not the "beard" in the first pic? Were you playing around with it, wrapped it round your head or something?

Gibber, sorry, yes you are correct (her post about the photo was Thu 08-Aug-13 17:46:22, to be precise)! I must have slipped into helly's time slip this morning Grin

Select the orangey-red fabric is a jacket. In the first photo she was wearing it and in the second photo she had it tied around her waist.

Neo, are you on a PC? If so, click on the photo and it enlarges it.

Yes select, I'm wearing a rust tweed jacket when I have the beard, then I took it off and tied it round my waist.

Julie Andrews ! Grin, I was growing out a very short crop. Have curly hair actually, so don't usually look like Jules.

I've looked carefully at the beard. It is a clearly an optical illusion caused by the ginger marmoset climbing your back and leaning over your shoulder so that it's head get between your face and the camera.

Have now looked properly on laptop. Clearly first photo is of levitating Noel Edmonds in drag, while second photo is of elfin beauty.

Levitating Noel Edmunds in drag- that is exactly what I look like, or Prince Albert as another poster said. Am liking the marmoset theory too.

Sorry, helly, it was me who said that the first photo was a bit Prince Albert'ish Blush.

Second photo - is gorgeous.

I am now snorting at the tragic story of the ghost beard wandering the woods and searching for its owner.

"Aaah, experienced travellers of yon Haunted Wood never set foot upon that accursed path without the magical talisman of a Wilkinson Sword Quattro and a tin of shaving foam at hand, to brandish at the Ghost Beard when it do come searching for its long-lost chin...."
