Ghost photo

[poliphilo]

Most photographs of "ghosts" are unconvincing. They show "orbs"- which could be illuminated dust motes- or light anomalies- which could be anything.

But here's one I hadn't seen before which deserves closer inspection. Of course you have to trust in the good faith of the sponsors when they say it isn't a fake.

But it's oddness is compelling. If I were faking a "ghost photograph" I don't think I'd have come up with anything quite as peculiar as this.

That sounds like my kind of book.

I've just been reading about giant skeletons (7, 8 even 9 foot tall) that were unearthed- by the barrowload- in New York State in the 1800s. For some reason all of them have now disappeared.

Wait! Giant skeletons: I have read about them, and recently.

Is that in Fort?

As for the Holzer book, it's now in pb and is very inexpensive--$15--considering that it's 750-something pages long.

It's nicely spooky, written mostly in the 50s in an old-fashioned ghost-story style.

I think they may be mentioned in Fort. Apparently New York state was full of long barrows and earthworks and the farmers flattened 'em all.

I'm a little suspicious. Britain has been intensively farmed for hundreds of years and there are still plenty of earthworks left.

I'll have to visit Amazon and see if I can pick up a Holzer
