Ghostly Face At Church Window

Excerpt of original article by Kathy Gearing which appeared in the Autumn 2005 Newsletter of the British Ghost Club . Photograph: Sophia Ward

This photo was taken in late summer 1997 at St Mary Magdalene Church in Bildeston, Suffolk. It was early morning, just getting light and Sophia took a snap of her friend under a tree. The church was in darkness and there was nobody else around. When the 35mm photograph was developed Sophia noticed a light in one of the windows surrounding what appears to be the image of a young boy leaning on the sill with his chin resting on his hand.


 While many of us would argue that perhaps this is a result of the flash rebounding off the church window pane, the explanation doesn't quite seem to fit as it is on the far left of the picture, and not more central as you would expect, and Sophia did not use the flash. The "boys" face is very large and out of scale compared to the figure of Sophias friend who is standing closer to the camera, and he is definitely illuminated from the front, and not from behind, (as you'd expect had someone been looking out of the window with a light on in the building).

What do you think?
