C&T Publications Eye On Fine Art Photography - October 2014 | Page 38

The above is another image, captured in the ballroom the same night as the ghostly legs on the stairs, that we have not been able to explain. On the right side of the image is Tony, one of our guest investigators, who was the founder of a highly respected team throughout the UK. During this incident my husband and I, as well as two other team members, were standing just out of sight to the right. Tony is holding an EMF meter., which he is pointing in the direction of the strange shadow figure to the left. This shadow figure was not visible to any of us and was only later found when reviewing photos taken that night. What is happening is that the EMF started to go crazy with off the scale readings. Tony, feeling that something is in the room with us, decides to experiment. He asks that whoever is present in front of him to please back away. Within seconds the EMF reading goes down. He then asks the presence to come forwards towards him, and the EMF again went crazy. Tony continued with giving these “move away, come forward” requests for about 15 minutes, and each time the EMF responded accordingly. Finally, whatever was there appeared to have left as the EMF completely stopped picking up anything further. About two weeks later we showed this photo to a number of people at The Grange, which is now a Community Center, and one of them mentioned that the dark shadow shape was standing in the exact spot where a recently deceased member of the Center used to sit in his favorite chair. It also where he was sitting during his last birthday party the previous month. We don't know if the shadow image is of a recently deceased member, or a former resident. But we do know that it responded intelligently and deliberately to requests to move forwards and backwards. I personally found it very unsettling and avoided going into this ballroom alone for a very long time! 34
