The Loch Ness Monster - Feel like taking a dip ?

The Loch Ness "monster" known as "Nessie" is said to be a plesiosaur-like creature living in Loch Ness, near Inverness, Scotland. Many sightings of Nessie have been recorded, going back at least as far as St. Columba, the Irish monk who converted most of Scotland to Christianity in the 6th century.The legend of Nessie began in 1934 with Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, who photographed a plesiosaur-like beast with a long neck emerging out of the murky waters. scientific experts were called in.First, they examined the photo itself. They said it could be a plesiosaur but it could also be an otter or a tree trunk. It may be that the only way to decide if Nessie is real or not , is to take a trip and see for yourself!

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.
