[paranormal] another one at naseby


To believe or not to believe:

The Northampton Paranormal Group caught the figure [of a ghost in uniform] on camera during a visit to the site of the Battle of Naseby, a field between the villages of Clipston and Naseby in Northamptonshire, last month.

Scepticism is fair enough, especially when one said: “I haven’t heard anything like this at the battlefield in all my association with it. It’s fair to say I’m a bit sceptical.”

That's fair enough.

But blind scepticism like: "The effect was caused by the camera itself," makes me sigh.

Really? They conducted experiments on the photo apparatus and investigated the area, did they? Or did they just say "camera effect" as a kneejerk reaction? Anything out of the ordinary must, by definition, be false?

Well how can any of us know? I'd like to see more evidence first but it doesn't seem wise to blindly pronounce it couldn't possibly happen.

  1. I drive past Naseby battlefield a few times a week usually. Haven't seen too many of the undead lurking around recently.

  2. Well judging by the condition of the rest of the photograph, it is just a bad 'camera' effect.

    Anything out of the ordinary, must, by definition, mostly be false.

  3. When I was a member of the 'Knot'Horse we loomed up out of the mist on a winters frosty day, and disappeared into a nearby covert nr Naseby, certainly saw a few white faces that day !

  5. I do have a very open mind about these sort of things, but this picture does look a bit like a fake to me!

  6. I'd have to see something a little better than that to be convinced.

  7. I am surprised no one has commented on the fact that the thing he is supposed to be carrying actually looks like something coming out of the fly of his pants with a small shiny fishbowl on the end. Surely this is a fake! What next, photos of rainbow coloured crop circles and Ninja Beavers caught busking at Covent Garden?

  8. Yes, the ghost himself thought that too.

  9. If you hand't said it was Naseby, I wouldn't have seen something that looks vaguely like a 17th century soldier.
