I've been to Newby Church- I visited last year, and took my own photo of the altar, as well as other parts of the church, but sadly nothing turned up...I felt frightened when I'd got my back to the altar, I was really afraid to turn round, I wonder if he might have been there...

Jefferson, you get a lot of folks 'round here like that too.. there's a bloke that lives beside a funeral home who claims his job is to guide the spirits where they belong. He thankfully has a day job, too. Brian, you feeling out-of-focus again? :) Kate, I was looking up that 'Scariest Places on Earth' programme and found that they investigated that Lizzie Borden house too... probably made up a whole lot of stuff for their audience. If there are such things as ghosts, I'd put a heavy bet on that they're not stupid. If I was a ghost, I'd only come out when LEAST expected, like the one you heard!

When we were at the Lizzie Borden house, many of our fellow guests took literally thousands of photographs, hoping for this type of experience. I can't blame them for trying, but it's a bit like searching for a four-leafed clover, it just feels more genuine when it wasn't on purpose. And those poor slobs all went home on Saturday, and Saturday night I heard a ghost. Nothing recorded, nothing to photograph... but I know what I heard. Very cool.

You see I am one. Not a ghost. I'm a vague image. I can tell you that vague images of ghosts on a photograph are in fact real. You see I am one. Not a ghost. I’m a vague image.

It freaked me out so much, I had to put it in the garage! Baino, I think there's a little part of everyone that believes anything is possible. I used to love those 'Scariest Places on Earth' programmes, even though they're heavily dramatized... I'm a sucker for horror/thriller flicks too, I saw 'Ghost Rider' last night which knocked my cotton socks off :) B3n, I first came across that book when I was babysitting as a kid.
