20:498100oooh spooky!
I dunno but that oul horrible geezer playing the hag looks scary... but this gives me an excuse to use a much nicer picture of the witches closer to home...
.....it was a dark night and a chill wind was howling across the bleak Irish landscape, when right across the full moon rode a witch on a broomstick. On the lonely road below I ran for cover and cowered behind an oak tree waiting for the sombre menacing spectacle to pass, but she did not pass, she had come for me...
Picture of SWS and BB. BB has exchanged her witches outfit for a doctors(not yet!) white coat..she has hung up her broomstick for good. So rumour has it anyway..

11:088483This infrared photograph was taken by Jude Huff-Felz during a daylight parapsychological investigation by the Ghost Research Society in Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois, on August 10, 1991. It was apparently part of a larger panorama of the cemetery and not the focal point of the photograph. The photo shows a woman with long hair and bangs sitting in a relaxed position on a tombstone. She appears to wear a light-colored dress that reaches her ankles.
Spooky or what.Over to Jeane......

11:428485Marek, after enlarging this photo I would say it's a pretty good fake. The proportions are all wrong and what better way to disguise it than infra red. Just my two penneth.
Kathy, Daisy-May is adorable.

12:128488Jeane,Thanks.I found this on the internet about the photo above
Bachelor's Grove Cemetery was established in 1864. It was reportedly used as a dump site for gansters' murder victims and was eventually abandoned in the mid-1960s. The burial ground is small, with a single entrance and a scummed-over pond. The cemetery is surrounded by chainlink fencing and only a few monuments remain untoppled or unstolen by vandals. Many ghost stories are attached to the old cemetary, although most have the histrionic qualities of tall tales.
The Ghost Research Society, headquartered in Oaklawn, Illinois, was formed as a clearing house for reports of ghosts, hauntings, poltergeist and life-after-death encounters. The society members actively research and investigate reports from private individuals and businesses. The society also analyzes alleged spirit photographs, video and audio tapes submitted by outsiders or society members.
If the Bachelor's Grove photo is a hoax, it was perpetrated in daylight, without the notice of witnesses or with their complicity. The Ghost Research Society enjoys an excellent reputation in the paranormal community. The group's leader, Dale Kaczmarek, is a seasoned and respected parapsychologist. It seems unlikely that the society would risk its credibility to participate in a hoax. However, some critics point out that the woman appears to cast a shadow consistant with those of other solid objects in the photo. Obviously, there is no conclusive answer to whether a ghost can cast a shadow, but inarguably real people do. Additional doubt arises in my own mind from the lack of online information about this photo. The image itself appears frequently, yet it is always accompanied by the same barebones facts. Even the Ghost Research Society Web site fails to go into detail on what must surely be its greatest evidence of the paranormal. However, while this lack of information is odd, it cannot be taken as evidence of a fraud.
