The Tulip Staircase Ghost 

On 19 June 1966, Reverend Ralph Hardy visited NationalMaritime Museum in Greenwich, England. When he went into the museum, Reverend Ralph was fascinated by an elegant spiral staircase known as the "Tulip Staircase". Therefore, he took a photo of the corridors to make memories. However, when he had his photos developed, he was stunned to see a shrouded figure clinging to the banister with both hands. The photo was taken immediately to experts and council members in both technical staff of leading Kodak ones. They examined the original and concluded that it had not been tampered with.

The Brown Lady

“The Brown Lady” is considered as the most famous ghostly photo that was taken at Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England by a Captain Provand in September, 1936. The ghost is thought to be Lady Dorothy Townshend, wife of Charles Townshend in the early 1700s. According to records, Dorothy died in 1726 but local people believe that her husband had lied about this. Indeed, Dorothy lived many years later under the tunnel and her husband had locked her in order to punish her for treason.
