| 28. FAKE....With the floating girl photo I am sure that it is only a case of bad timing. The girl with no legs is actually running and when running the legs tuck up behind the person, therefore producing the effect of having no legs. With the pillar in the way you cannot see any blurring or any part of a leg. | 29. REAL....The image reportedly shows a ghost descending a staircase at Raynham Hall. It was captured by photographers Captain Provand and his assistant Indre Shira while photographing the historic Raynham Hall for Country Life Magazine in the late afternoon of 19th September, 1936. |
