The ghost that wasn't
I still want to keep this blog as personal as I can. So with that in mind, I'm going to tell you about a time when I was about 10 years old. I was up in minnesota in the middle of the woods at my parents cabins. It was late at night and my Grandma walked up to the outhouse with me one more time before bed. As we walked up the hill with a little flashlight, my brother lay in the grass waiting for us. As we got just up beside him, he took a puff of his cigarette and stood up. I screamed! Thinking it was a ghost of course. Sometimes the ghosts that aren't, are the most fun :)

Ghost on Staircase
Rev. Ralph Hardy, a retired clergyman from White Rock, British Columbia, took this now famous photograph in 1966. He intended merely to photograph the elegant spiral staircase (known as the "Tulip Staircase") in the Queen's House section of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. Upon development, however, the photo revealed a shrouded figure climbing the stairs, seeming to hold the railing with both hands. Experts, including some from Kodak, who examined the original negative concluded that it had not been tampered with. It's been said that unexplained figures have been seen on occasion in the vicinity of the staircase, and unexplained footsteps have also been heard.
Courtyard Ghost
The 16th Century Hampton Court palace in south-west London is well known for alleged supernatural activity, but nothing suspicious has been caught on film before. Henry VIII lived here.However, in October 2003, this curious image was caught on the palace's video-security system.On several occasions security guards were alerted to an open fire door in an exhibition area of the palace. After securing the door each time, they returned to their office to view the footage to see who had opened them.On the first occasion the footage showed the doors flying wide open, but no evidence of why they had.On the second, the guards were stunned when a ghostly figure in period dress suddenly appeared on the screen and closed the doors. The same thing happened on a third day, but again no figure appeared.
