Does anyone happen to have a copy they could scan and upload of a photograph which purportedly shows two disembodied heads? It was taken on a street called Mount Royd, in Bradford, I guess in the late 1990s. The newspaper article probably originally had the photograph, but if so it's been lost in a site upgrade, and the wayback machine doesn't obviously have it.
EDIT: Apparently the pic is in FT123.

The picture was taken on a dusky autumn evening in a wooded dell, close to a row of Victorian houses in Mount Royd in Manningham, by photographer Joanne Crowther.
When she developed the picture there was an intense bright light in the centre of the photograph.
After she blew up the image, she discovered two disembodied human heads.
"I was shocked by the picture at first. It was completely unexpected," said Miss Crowther, 35, a personal assistant in Bradford University's civil engineering department.
"I didn't really expect the picture to turn out because the camera was hand-held and it was quite dark. But I was surprised how much detail there was."
The negatives were developed at Bradford and Ilkley Community College, where she attends a photography workshop.
Miss Crowther said everyone in the darkroom was amazed. She was advised to seek expert advice from the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television and a leading university expert. The museum contacted the Fortean Photographic Library, which specialises in pictures of unexplained phenomena, and they confirmed it was not a fake.
