More Classic Ghost Images

Here are some more classic ghost images you've probably seen around the web or in books:

This photo was taken in the late 40s in Australia. A woman only known as Mrs. Andrews visited her daughter's grave and took this photo. When it was developed, the clear image of a ghostly infant was visible. What is especially odd is that Mrs. Andrews's daughter died at 17. A researcher visited the site later and found the graves of two infant girls nearby, and assumed the ghostly child must be one of them.

This photo was taken at the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, and shows what many believe to be the ghost of a former slave known as "Chloe." Read her story here.

Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England has no known history of hauntings, besides this photo taken in 1963 by Reverend Lord. Skeptics say it's a fake, just a double exposure, but photo experts who've examined it say that's not the case. It remains a mystery who this apparition might be.

More Borley Rectory

Always an interesting topic, I've found more creepy photographs of Borley Rectory. Some of them can be enlarged.

After a Long Hiatus, More Creepy Pasta

"Coffins used to be built with holes in them, attached to six feet of copper tubing and a bell. The tubing would allow air for victims buried under the mistaken impression they were dead. In a certain small town Harold, the local gravedigger, upon hearing a bell one night, went to go see if it was children pretending to be spirits. Sometimes it was also the wind. This time, it wasn't either. A voice from below begged and pleaded to be unburied.

'Are you Sarah O'Bannon?' Harold asked.

'Yes!' The muffled voice asserted.

'You were born on September 17, 1827?'

'Yes!'

'The gravestone here says you died on February 20, 1857.'

'No, I'm alive, it was a mistake! Dig me up, set me free!'

'Sorry about this, ma'am,' Harold said, stepping on the bell to silence it and plugging up the copper tube with dirt. 'But this is August. Whatever you are down there, you sure as hell ain't alive no more, and you ain't comin' up.'"

"One afternoon, a couple was traveling on by car when at a far distance they saw a woman in the middle of the road, waving frantically.

The wife told her husband to keep on driving because it might be too dangerous, but the husband decided to pass by slowly so he wouldn't stay with the doubt on his mind of what might have happened and the chances of anyone being hurt. As they got closer, they noticed a woman with cuts and bruises on her face as well as on her arms. They then decide to stop and see if they could be of any help.

The cut and bruised woman was begging for help telling them that she had been in a car accident and that her husband and son, a new born baby, were still inside the car which was in a deep ditch. She told them that the husband was already dead but that her baby seemed to still be alive.

The husband that was traveling decided to get down and try to rescue the baby and he asked the hurt woman to stay with his wife inside the their car. When he got down he noticed two people in the front seats of the car but he didn't pay any attention to it and took out the baby quickly and got up to take the baby to it's mother. When he got up, he didn't see the mother anywhere so he asked his wife where she had gone. She told him that the woman followed him back to the crashed car.

When the husband went back to look for her, he noticed that clearly the couple in the front seats were dead, one of whom was unmistakably the woman who had flagged them down."

"There was a couple from Texas who was planning a weekend trip across the Mexican border for a shopping spree. At the last minute, their baby-sitter canceled, so they had to bring along their two year old son with them. They had been across the border for an hour when the boy got free and ran around the corner. The mother tried to find him, but he was missing. The mother found a police officer who told her to go to the gate and wait. Not really understanding the instructions, she did as she was told.

About 45 minutes later, a Mexican man approached the border, carrying the boy. The mother ran to him, grateful that he had been found. When the man realized it was the boy's mother, he dropped him and ran. The police were waiting for him. The boy was dead, and in the 45 minutes he was missing, he had been cut open, all of his organs removed, and stuffed with bags of cocaine. The man was going to carry him across the border as if he were asleep."
