Ghostly figure caught on camera

Friday, March 27th, 2009

This ghostly figure was snapped by a holidaymaker on the moors of North Yorkshire – and experts think the eerie photo is genuine.

Unsuspecting Colin Foster, 34, aimed his new digital camera at the winter scenery during a trip earlier this year, not spotting anything unusual until he returned home from his backpacking tour and began checking the photos he had taken.

Colin said: “My girlfriend and I were looking through them when she grabbed my hand and said, ‘Stop’.

“She insisted I zoom in on one particular picture. At first I didn’t see it — but, as we zoomed in, we just turned to each other with our mouths agape.”

Is this a real apparition? You decide and leave us your comments.

Colin, of Wordsley, West Mids, added: “At the time I took the photo I did feel like I was being watched, but I just put that down to how remote and lonely the place was.

“All my friends and family are scratching their heads in awe.”

TV medium Craig Hamilton-Parker said: “I have checked it over for cheating, but it has none of the tell-tale signs of photo manipulating.

“The exact human shape leads me to say, ‘Yes, this is a real supernatural snap’. The Yorkshire Moors are renowned for their ghosts.”

Nick Thurston, of the UK British Paranormal Association, said: “This image is extremely clear and is certainly that of a spirit manifestation of a full human figure.”

UKBPA vice chairman Clint Symonds said: “This is one of those pictures that makes you sit up and say wow. But obviously it is also a picture that needs deep examination.

“It is so easy these days to fool the public with paranormal phenomena due to modern software.”

Paranormal Investigator and author Patrick Doyle has recently put a video out on youtube which demonstrates in real-time just how easy it is to fake photographs like this one using very convincing photoshop techniques!

Personally, I find it difficult to believe that this one is attracting serious debate.

Kind Regards

I think it’s a ninja with stealth technology. If you’ll notice it wears a utility belt.

I think that if this is a real manifestation (I’m not judging) then its simply fantastic, you would hardly ever capture a clear form like this in camera, most just appear as a undefined mist or dont appear at all due to their delicate state. What a great shot!
