Queens House Ghost
One of the most famous spirit photographs ever on record was taken in 1966 at Queens House in Greenwich England, however there was no tradition of this 17th century house being haunted prior to the photograph. The photograph was taken by two Canadian tourists, R.W. Hardy, a retired clergyman, and his wife, who were visiting the house. They took numerous photographs, including one of the Tulip Staircase, which at the time seemed to be empty. When the photograph was developed something amazing appeared: one, or perhaps two, cowled ghostly figures.
The film and negative were examined by experts, who could detect no signs of tampering or technical interference. No natural explanation could be given for the photograph. the Hardys were especially surprised by the photo, as they had no interest in ghosts.
After the photograph was publicised, employees at the house reported having seen strange figures near the staircase or hearing phantom footsteps.
