Weird News: Ghost Photographed in Old Museum?
Friday, May 22, 2009
As in all ghostly images, the most recent photograph of a purported spirit in an old English museum doesn't show great detail. However, the sincere confusion of the photographer and the vague outline of something that appears to be more than mere dust and light is enough to raise suspicions. The ghost--perhaps as a residual impression stamped into the fabric of reality itself, or as an independent consciousness inexplicably lingering on our plane of existence--often exhibits a fondness for old places. This one is no exception. The manifestation of spirits amidst antiquities was best portrayed in weird literature by M.R. James, as any devotee of the genre knows, and it's almost uncanny that this visitation has an almost Jamesian tone to it. The old scholar may have been onto more than he knew.
