Spooky


Spooky
Spooky figure in Wigan Cemetery. I didn't see the figure whilst looking at the area or through the view finder. Only discovered it when I returned home.

Not a ghost of a chance of it being a ghost Bill. I think you have made a grave error - but we'll take it in the 'spirit' intended!

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 5th February 2013 at 00:21

Oooooooo......Bill that is a good subject for me as I am into all this stuff.....you sure someone didn't walk past at the last minute?
What about the face in the hedge behind the figure......I can see it.....cheers!!!

Where???

Comment by: Anon on 5th February 2013 at 06:27

Spooky figure??

Comment by: D. on 5th February 2013 at 08:12

I think there may be a simple explanation for the "spooky figure" a gravestone or tree trunk perhaps?

Comment by: Catherine on 5th February 2013 at 08:21

Janice, is there a ghost of a chance that you intended to raise the spectre of us being haunted by a plethora of supernatural puns??

Comment by: Pete on 5th February 2013 at 09:44

They could be aliens bill
You never know

Comment by: vic on 5th February 2013 at 10:24

Omg! i can see that face in the hedge, its skull like...eerie.

Comment by: Bill Eatock on 5th February 2013 at 10:51

It is odd. I definitely didn't see anyone in the area. The 'figure' appears to be walking along a path that's in that location.
Looks as if 'its' wearing a long black cloak of somekind. You can just make out a head, or a bonnet of somekind. I suppose a cemetey is just the right place for spooks!

Comment by: piccyme on 5th February 2013 at 11:11

Sorry, but i can not see any figure, what i do see is a lovely piccy, giving me a brrrrrrr feeling, bit like the bits we're getting again today

Comment by: tricia on 5th February 2013 at 11:30

EEEEEK! I can see the face as well , Lizzie. It has a slight look of one of my dogs!

Comment by: Eddie on 5th February 2013 at 12:39

Piccyme. I can see it very clearly. The figure is near the small cross. If you look carefully you can actually see what appears to be a leg pushing the cloak forward. Obviously it can't move in a still photo, but there is an hint of movement near the bottom of the figure. I zoomed into the photo and it is a figure of somekind.

Comment by: LindaWarrior on 5th February 2013 at 15:26

Ooo very spooky!
Lizzie, I can see the face too in the bushes. It looks a bit like ET!
Good pic, Bill

Comment by: Janice on 5th February 2013 at 16:20

Norman, without a shadow of a doubt (deathly silence)! Shall we bury this now as I think perhaps we have done it to death. Let's see what tomorrow mourning may bring! (Perhaps sneezin and coffin after all this cold weather)?

Comment by: Derek Platt on 5th February 2013 at 17:16

The place is crowded with characters. I see the person walking, and the skull-like head, but what about the person with the dog behind the tree branches-left foreground.

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 5th February 2013 at 18:20

A very spooky picture indeed......
Janice.....very clever.....harks back to Rev. David's woodpile pic where we all went to town.....and the tears of laughter were in copious amounts......cheers!!!

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 5th February 2013 at 18:26

Bill may I take a copy....I will start up a new album for spooky photos.....cheers!!!

Comment by: Neil Rigby on 5th February 2013 at 19:48

Spook with eyes, nose and down-turned mouth, between the fork of the tree (near the top) above the man-with-the-dog

Comment by: Neil Rigby on 5th February 2013 at 20:13

I think we should be more serious about the photo; after-all death is a grave matter.

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 5th February 2013 at 21:12

Yes......see it Neil.....the face in the fork of the tree seems to be looking to the right as I look at it....there is another face of an old man in the twiggy fork looking to the left....he has a beard he is in the fork with the snow at the bottom of it and his mouth is open.....ooooooo......we see dead people.....chchcheeeers!!!!

Comment by: Ellen on 5th February 2013 at 21:21

Sorry, folks but I think we see what we want to see !!

Comment by: snoopy on 5th February 2013 at 21:47

its a tree trunk!

Comment by: Jean F (Wales) on 5th February 2013 at 22:36

We all see what we want to see and this has been the best photo feedback for a long time....thanks for all the humour.....especially from Janice.

Comment by: Bill Eatock on 6th February 2013 at 08:56

Lizzie down under. By all means take a copy.
I'd love to see that album one day!

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 6th February 2013 at 09:17

The old man in the twiggy fork has a beard, and his mouth is open and it looks as if he is wearing a crown when I stretch the pic on my IPad .....ccchhheeeerrrrssss!!!!!

Comment by: Lizzie down under on 6th February 2013 at 10:24

Thanks Bill.....got yours and the one from January the 2nd in my spooky album....cheers!!

Comment by: Norman Skellon, Sydney, Australia on 7th February 2013 at 09:47

Janice: a wonderful reply.
Do you have a ghost writer???

Comment by: Gary on 21st March 2013 at 10:11

Tree trunk, snoopy? Its obvious its a cloaked figure of somekind. Even I can see that with my ancient eyes! I can also see a foot pushing the cloak forwards as 'it' walks.
Weird.
