Eerie October, Part 5: Boo! Pictures
The internet is full of spooky pictures and stories. Many of these have been around for ages, and have been mentioned on the Discovery Channel, A&E, etc. Here are a few of the really good ones. Each picture can be clicked to visit a page dedicated to the subject at hand:
Raynham Hall in Great Britain is home to the ghost known as the Brown Lady, captured in this photograph from 1936.
Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana is reportedly the home of Chloe, the ghost of a young woman who was a slave there in the 1800's. Chloe's life was terrible. It's believed that she suffered from sexual abuse and punishment by mutilation. What's more, she never recovered from the accidental murder of two children that she loved. It's no wonder that many believe she haunts Myrtles to this day. In the picture above, you can see what is said to be her ghost, moving across the grounds, unable to rest.
This picture, circa 1966, has been examined by experts from Kodak, who determined that it had not been tampered with. It was taken by the Reverend Ralph Hardy at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. It's been said that spectral visions have been seen, and ghostly footsteps have been heard, in the area of this staircase.
Hampton Court Palace in London was built around 1525. King Henry VIII lived there with his third wife, who died in labor on the premises. Many people believe that her ghost haunts the palace. This photograph was taken by security cameras in 2003, and has never been explained.
Another capture from a security camera, this one in a Japanese parking garage. There's little more information available than that. This capture, however, isn't simply a photograph, it's a video… and it's actually pretty spooky. You can download it in RealVideo format by right clicking here, or click the image above to go to the page where I found it.

"she never recovered from the accidental murder of two children that she loved. " I don't get the accidental muder part. I didn't know someone could be accidentally murdered.
Have you seen that new show "Ghost Whisperer?"
It seems like one you'd like.
When I was visiting my fiance in the USA we watched a show called "unsolved mysteries" and they had ghost stories on there, that night I couldnt sleep, I had to have my door open and asked him to leave his open too.
Jamie Dawn, the "accidental murder" thing plays out this way: She was apparently trying to poison someone's food just enough to make them sick, but not kill them. That person didn't eat the food, instead two children in her care ate it, and they died.
Carmel, the third one really spooks me, too. It's just so surreal looking. It gives me a severe case of ndsemmqo.
