Weird News: Ghost Photographed at Tantallon Castle?
Sunday, April 5, 2009
This image has been placed under close scrutiny after showing no signs of manipulation and claims that no one was in the window at the time. It also seemingly depicts a woman in antiquated dress peering out the ancient portal of this castle. Personally, I find the blurry face most disturbing in this image. This looks like the type of ghost you would expect to encounter in a M.R. James tale, minus nefarious activities (at least, none have been reported yet).
One question that has yet to be adequately answered is if we really ever want to know if ghosts are real. How many individuals on the border of paranoid breakdown would have a fit if they had to worry about invisible spirits surrounding them? Would we really be ready for old places to get a creepier aura than they already have as a product of being relics out of time? And what about those who are looking for some blind relaxation after death? How horrifying to know that there could be a bizarre second life waiting after this one! Of course, chances are the controversy over these phenomena will never be resolved, and we can only look forward to further harrowing images and debate stirred by them.
