Since the invention of the camera, many photographers have claimed to have taken photos of many paranormal phenomenon... Some are believed to be hoaxes, some are believed to be double exposures or other camera flaws... and some have yet to be explained...
Whether you believe in the paranormal or not...
Many of these photographs are very interesting and even appear to be quite convincing...
What are some of your favorites?
When I was a kid, my parents had a few books that were about the Unexplained and the Paranormal... In one of those books, contained the photograph of...
Spectre of Newby Church
The Spectre of Newby Church (or the "Newby Monk") is the name given to an artifact found on a photograph taken in the Church of Christ the Consoler, on the grounds of Newby Hall in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The image was taken in 1963 by the Reverend Kenneth F. Lord. As the artifact appears to resemble a human, much speculation has been had regarding what type of person might be in the image. Most speculation by believers has concluded that it resembles a 16th-century monk, with a white shroud over his face, possibly to mask leprosy or another disfigurement. Others contend that it is an accomplice in a costume.
Initial claims suggested that the figure would measure at 9 feet tall, but its feet are not visible and it could easily be standing on a box, giving the impression of height.
On looking over the image, purported photographic experts[who?] have concluded that the image is not the result of double exposure, although Rick Burden, founder of the Ghost Hunters of Australia website, believes to be "probably fake." It resembles many other double exposure hoaxes.

"a 16th-century monk, with a white SHROUD over his face, possibly to mask leprosy or another disfigurement"?
My Mom used to say that she thought the Monk's face was MELTING...And to be honest, it really doesn't look like a SHROUD to me either...
I've always thought that it was just impossible for the cameraman to create a double exposure...Of a monk whose FACE WAS MELTING!
LOL!
And So, What is it that we really see here? Well, who knows...
Anyway, Hoax (or whatever) or Not, that is why...
The Melting Face Monk of Newby Church!
...will always be one of my favorites!
