Grotto Ghost

By: Rachael Kornish

We were touring Crichton Castle in Scotland and this was the Bake House. My husband insisted I come see the oven, but as a sensitive person, I said I thought something was strange in there. He took photos, using the flash to see his way, as it was pitch black inside. In this photo, you will see a ghostly image: a woman's profile in the upper middle of the photograph – just an outline of the hairline and the profile – then two wisps for arms in the air, and some more wisps for her breasts or torso. No one was smoking. I felt this presence, and didn't even go near the place. But my husband, the skeptic he is, snapped photos into any dark hole in many castles!
