Wow!! Have you taken a look at this image? Check out the full sized version via the gallery link at the bottom of this article. This brief article is about this and how we can be fooled by a fluke of photography.

Like so many of the more convincing ghost photos it was captured on a shot that was not intentionally designed to capture anything odd at the time. We left the time and date stamp on and at this point we had not begun the vigils on our investigation of Woodchester Mansion on the 12th of April 2008.

The figure at the fire was caught when guest Shaun McCloughlin decided to take a memento photo of his partner Amy May Berry at the venue. Obviously there were people milling about the room and they were going to be caught in the image however this extra guest certainly wasn’t accounted for!

Now we admit that something odd is going on in the photo in general, a curiuos doubling effect is evident even on the orbs streaming upwards. However if some technical error has caused this doubling effect then we believed that this effect should have applied to the figure by the fire too? But take note – that figure has a clearly defined edge!

We have speculated as to what the figure looked like on our description in the gallery and considering what came to light we were pretty close!

This is a genuine digital image and the mysterious figure was shown to us straightaway. We never know what results we or our guests will get at a supposedly haunted property but if we eventually arrive at possibly paranormal results like this then the hunt’s very worthwhile!

The first type consists of two parts, one an emitter and one a receiver. An infra red light beam is emitted between the two parts and if this is broken an alarm will sound.

This barrier-beam type is useful for locking off areas or perhaps even placing in amongst a group on vigils and passively monitoring the unit to see if the beam is disturbed. The other type is usually a motion detector unit. A single emitter unit that again emits a wide angle infra red light beam which if broken sounds an alarm or sometimes activates a light.
