Whats funny is that many people have encountered a ghost that looks just like that, though the face is like that or a skelital or no face at all and at times have red glowing eyes. this is a full form of a type of shadow ghosts

[darkknight]

[dark fusion]

Caeser Posted Yesterday, 10:07 PM . I remember seeing it on tv that it was made up

.It could also be that other people saw this photo in books, and based their "true" sightings on it.

If you look very carefully to the right of the monk and down about half way at the edge of the picture above the rail, you can see a face of a man sporting a mustache and you can also see his left shouder. like a suit jacket. .  ghostnewa.jpg   8.71K   72 downloads  ghostew.jpg   10.9K   67 downloads

I've been doing some digging on this picture. First, here's what I found on the picture itself:..

The Specter of Newby Church.This photograph was taken in 1963 by Reverend K. F. Lord at Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England. It has been a controversial photo because it is just too good. The shrouded face and the way it is looking directly into the camera makes it look like it was posed – a clever double exposure. Yet supposedly the photo has been scrutinized by photo experts who say the image is not the result of a double exposure..The Reverend Lord has said of the photo that nothing was visible to the naked eye when he took the snapshot of his altar. Yet when the film was developed, standing there was this strange cowled figure..The Newby Church was built in 1870 and, as far as anyone knows, did not have a history of ghosts, hauntings or other peculiar phenomena. Those why have carefully analyzed the proportions of the objects in the photo calculated that the specter is about nine feet tall!

Source..I was thinking that if it *is* a picture of a ghost, it's the ghost of a person with a white hood over their face (and apparently a dark hooded cloak on top of that). I've been googling everything I can think of to come up with a reason someone in Newby before 1963 would have been wearing such a costume, but so far I'm coming up blank. Medieval executioners wore hoods, but they were black hoods. In Victorian times prisoners who were going to be executed had a white hood put over their head at the last minute, but those typically didn't have eyeholes. British academics have traditionally worn hoods for centuries, but not hoods that cover the face. I'm stumped. Anyone from Yorkshire on here? Perhaps you can do better than I with your history. For one thing, you might look for accounts of someone who lived in the area who was outrageously tall?

[Crosis]

lepers wore hoods sometimes, i'm sure i read that somewhere.

[darkknight]

interesting info elfstone

[Gigan]

I'm bumping this one too, as I would like to hear some feedback on this picture from some of our newer members ..*bump*

Very Very odd picture... I wonder if people still have the original negatives ?. . It would be interesting to see if it has appeared after being developed more then once?

.I would also like to know any hostory about the church too, as far as I can remember there is no story behind that image other than the priest was taking a picture of the altar and the phantom appeared in the developed image.

[Chase]

hmmmmm thats very interesting Gigan.... I wonder if anything else had been reported at the church... plus a priest adds credibility right? They're not likely to lie are they??? :unsure:

[Zeus]

Yeah,I've had this pic on my computer for years, never knew if it was real or not

[Badbones]

If this picture is real, I hope I don't ever see that ghost!!!

[Vemkeit]

This image is another one I question, first the image is to clear and the with face hood, its too white and too real from my views but again this is a very old image that has been floating around the web, for along time, is it real I don't know, but if you can see it that clear on a camera then other people would have seen it with out a camera I would think, "ghosts" don't really appear as such solid objects I just think there is too much definition in the image and if this image was taken long ago then why is the image quality so very good it's almost as good as the cameras now maybe even better so it kind of makes you wonder.

[Chase]

If this picture is real, I hope I don't ever see that ghost!!!

.LOL I couldn't agree more badbones!

When I first saw the picture, my first thought was 'Why is it's face melting?' But then I started reading some of those posts of you guys talking about how it looked like a hood. So I went back and looked at the picture again, and I guess it does look more like a hood. It really freaks me out though.. . Nine feet tall? Holy crap!

[Zeus]

wow man, I've had this pic for years, but 9 feet tall? I didn't know that, man, that ghost is BIG, have you ever heard of a bigger ghost?
