Thank you, Jack. The image is quite all I desired.

Its also exactly dead centre of the uncropped photo and starting to look exactly like a little Holy Water bottle one of my sisters used to have after her First Holy Communion, which had Mary on there, with her hands joined together.HenryFort said:...Im surprised at the degree of symmetricality (that a word?) it displays, and uncanny likeness to a graveyard angel or statue or, as indicated above, Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Yeah thatd account for a well composed shot of a staircase. But according to the story as given, the guy who took the photo didnt see anything, it was the other guy. So the guy taking the photo just knocked one out. Are we to assume the ghost positioned itself exactly centre frame for the portrait?OldTimeRadio said:But is that so surprising? The camera was apparently already situated to take a photograph of the staircase. That would automatically make it the center of the shot.HenryFort said:Its also exactly dead centre of the uncropped photo
Having thought about this photo probably way too much in the last hour, I cant see how 3 could be an option. Because the guy saw something on the stairs. That is, light getting into the lens or whatever must be ruled out because the guy said he saw a manifestation, prior to the plate being exposed.escargot1 said:We have 3 alternative explanations -
1. A real ghost
2. A clever fake.
3. A misinterpreted photograph.

It's plain that the 'double-exposed painting' which helped form the argument in the recent FT article is in fact part of a landing halfway down the stairs...
on PAGE 2 said:On the left hand side as the viewer sees the picture, (i.e. on the Brown Lady’s right hand side) hangs a framed picture on the wall. Immediately beneath, seemingly hovering in the air, is a duplicate image of this picture. Equally, when one looks at the length of the banisters, they do not connect, and the angles suggest that the camera has been shaken and the staircase accidentally photographed twice.
