Topic: The Ghost in the Burning Building

[Ghost1]

On November 19, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England, an old building built in 1905, was destroyed by fire. Tony O'Rahilly, a local resident, took photos of the spectacle from across the street. One of those photos shows a small, partially transparent girl ghost-[float=left][/float]standing in the doorway. Neither O'Rahilly nor any of the other onlookers or firefighters recalled seeing the girl there. Dr. Vernon Harrison, a photographic expert and former president of the Royal Photographic Society, examined both the print and the original negative, and concluded that it was genuine.

I like this one also. And it's really quite a popular spirit photo. There is a guy on youtube claiming that it is a puff of smoke willowing out of the doorway and it just happens to look like a womans head. He says the parts of the body that we think we see are not clear enough to say they are anything but our imagination wanting to connect something to the head. 

I say that if that were true then I think that the expert and all of the experts that have obviously looked at this photo would have seen that and declared it but most of the experts that look at the photo are amazed. I think if it could be debunked then the experts would have done so since that is the more popular trend in this field but youtube guy is getting a lot of attention by saying that he has figured it out.

Now this is a spooky picture! Was the building burning when the photo was taken or was the fire out at the time and maybe a day or so later when the photo was taken??
