'Soldier ghost' caught on camera
Quote:A group of amateur film-makers believe they may have proof that ghosts really do exist after one of them caught something strange on camera.
George Gunn said he captured pictures of a ghostly apparition while out walking along a footpath in Outwood, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Mr Gunn, a member of Outwood Community Video Club, said he thought the figure looked like that of a Roman soldier.
He said he had heard tales of ghosts being seen in the area.
But he added: "I still don't believe in them."
'Something peculiar'
The apparition appears to be still in the footage, but fades momentarily as two people jog through it..........
OK, own up....which one of you guys 'oop North' has been messing about with luminous paint and a smoke machine :wink:
If he is real, someone should do a seance up there and ask him to solve the tunic colour debate once and for all!

That really creeped me out Robert! Such a spooky mental image  hock:
No idea how they've made out that it looks like a Roman. Just looks like cigarette smoke to me. I had a wierd thing happen when I worked in an old hotel, some guy wanted to include it in a book he was writing. Didn't want people thinking I was a nutter though
There was a picture of a UFO in the paper today too but can't find that online anywhere.

Apparently they were seen marching through the celler of the pub, only visible from the calves up. When they excavated they found the roman road under the floor. Freeeeeeeeaaaaaky man freaky! :lol:
I'm heading down to Eboracum tomorrow, anyone know where Barley Hall is?

The ladies of the 'Sealed Knot' (English Civil War) used to throw themselves on to the floor whenever the Ermine Street Guard marched past at the multi period events at Kirby Hall, so they could look up the tunics!
Hard to tell from the photograph but the 'ghost' appears to be wearing a doublet, hose and a ruff to me. So obviously the media idea of Roman costume

I was going to say the same thing- looks very Shakespearian to me...

Yeah, but what color is his tunic? :wink: Maybe he's a Roman spy caught in a time warp? Under orders from Dr. Frankenfurter?
