Quote "their best ghost photo ever" mmmm - personally I am not entirely convinced.

Edit - sorry about the typo in the header - should be "Naseby" (I hit the "n" next to the "b" on the keyboard).

Shape of a horseman?
Looks more like a gnome with a fishing rod to me :cheesy:

"They use dictaphones and electromagnetic sensors to track spirits..."

Dictaphones...This is hilarious. It is not news, but dear God, it's hilarious.

And it's given me a new idea for a New Living TV show. That channel is all geared to makeover shows, wannabe models and "The Paranormal" (they have apparently decided that is what women want and it brings in the L'Oreal Advertising revenue). Well....how about combining makeovers and spookiness and having a new show about GHOSTHUNTER MAKEOVERS ? Too many ghosthunters have faces fit for haunting houses, too many are posessed with the fashions of days of yore, something must be done! For the more action-orientated and sadistic viewer there could also be GUTBUSTING GHOSTBUSTERS! Watch the merry band of spookologists scale walls to escape spirits and run screaming around the mansion of horror! Winner is the one who loses the most appetite and the most ectoplasm.Say goodbye to the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man! Forever.

Steve Parsons as Presenter..Obviously. With a little onscreen animation of that wee green bogey from Ghostbusters the Movie.

My cut would be 20%. I'm not proud...

I've put the picture through my special Ghost Enhancing Recognition Software Tool and come up with this:

It's Maggie Thatcher in a bigfoot suit. ???

She's had her hair tinted ginger - because she's worth it. 8)

Why would a ghost wear wellies?

What is the point of a spectral gum-boot?

Even if that was a ghost, which it isn't. It is a rubbish ghost. I want my ghosts dressed properly, thanks very much. Sweeping silks, doublet and hose and maybe the the odd ruffle. I'm partial to that kind of thing.

;)

Thanks John. I have never worked out how to get images into a forum post.

And folks, don't forget - this is the best they have seen!

dalriada - you have brightened up the end of a very difficult day, thanks ;D;D

[Hayley]

Is it just me, or does it look like the 'ghost' has a torch in its hand? ???

As someone pointed out at the JREF, http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/Mongrel01/Skeptic%20stuff/ghostidiots2.jpg

That hole in the bushes matches up nicely with the 'ghost'

Ooh, i didn't see that comparison shot. Thanks. O0
