The Girl Who Wasn't There
Excerpt of original article by Kathy Gearing which appeared in the Spring 2006 Newsletter of the Ghost Club of Great Britain. No one has ever been able to explain this strange photograph despite being examined by photographic experts. It also appeared in newspapers at the time and no one can identify the girl.
"This photograph was taken on a wet, drizzly day on Dartmoor on the 14th June 2002. The photographer had been sitting in the car watching the ponies with her partner and decided to take a picture of them before they went home. They were totally baffled when they had the film developed and saw the little girl who appears to be petting the pony, as they are absolutely sure there was nobody else around at the time. Joan says, "the little girl was not wearing appropriate clothing for that cold, wet day and she was "brighter" than she would have been in the flesh - so to speak". It does seem very unlikely that a young girl would be out on Dartmoor, miles from anywhere on her own. Joan adds, "also those ponies do not stand still to let anyone touch them. The only person we saw, apart from the cars which drove by, was a man driving a tractor coming off the moor to get on to the road".
