A personal and shared sighting - Near Johnson Shut-ins State Park, Missouri
I'm going back about 20 years now. It was a tradition that friends and my husband and I went camping every year at Johnson Shut-ins State Park for Memorial Day weekend. This particular year no one was able to get down there early enough to secure a campsight at the park. That in itself is no problem as there was anouther campground nearby. It was called Indian Point Campground. It's not there anymore these days although you can still see where the main building used to be. My husband and I got there late thursday evening. We knew that my cousin and some friends were already there but, it was so late that we went ahead and just set up our own tent. We knew we'd find everyone in the morning so we started a fire and sat out to enjoy the evening. We hadn't been sitting out long when we saw 3 UFOs. They almost seemed to be putting on a show for us. My husband and I were both just amazed. This campground was also very full. There were people all around us. We all started gathering in small groups. Everyone witnessing these beautiful lit up ships dashing this way and that. So fast, in so many directions it almost seemed impossible. We were just all in absolute awe. This went on for at my best guess a half hour to an hour. Then they were gone just as quickly as they came. It was hard to sleep that night from all the excitement but we finally managed some. The next morning we located our friends and my cousin and they'd all seen the same thing. There were probably at least 100 witnesses to this event. I have NO PHOTOS. This was a time when I'd yet to start carrying a camera with me most places. But I do remember it vividly and have talked with my husband and friends and they remember it just as well. I still feel just very lucky to have witnessed it.

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.
