Title: The Brown Lady
Post by: Ghost1 on Dec 04 2007 - 02:14PM

Probably the most famous ghost picture of all time "The Brown Lady" taken in
1936 by photographers Captain Provand and Indre Shira while shooting for
Country Life magazine proports to show a ghost descending a staircase at
England's historic Raynham Hall, which is said to be haunted by Lady Dorothy
Walpole, who once lived at the Hall. She is known as The Brown Lady due to
reports of the spirit being seen wearing a brown brocade dress. She officially died
of smallpox, but rumors have it that she was pushed down the stairs by her husband
after learning of an affair.

I have read a lot of stories about this photo. Most of them seem to think that it was faked but I don't think that means much. In the early 1900's there was a lot of fakery going on but because of that it was very hard for a serious paranormal study to be given much credibility.  Rumors were rampant and sometimes given more credibility than they deserved.  While many professional opinions were given in favor of the capture. So I choose to believe that the capture is genuine. But that's just me.  Thanks for the photo Ghost1.
