A real halloween story
While I love the costume wearing, candy eating, decorations filled part of Halloween, I am usually not one to put much faith in ghost stories...
But this weekend something really interesting happened. The photo below was taken this past Saturday at around 10.30 pm at a small mining village in Northeastern Pennsylvania, USA called Eckley. The site is no longer a working mine, but visitors can go there to see the town and participate in a Halloween walking tour. Although it wasnt featured on the tour, when we walked by this building we thought it was really spooky so we stayed back while the other people on the tour walked on ahead. We took a picture mostly as a joke because the tour itself was not very scary but something about this was. No one was around (it was in the middle of the woods) and we did not see anything until we got home and looked at the picture on my computer.
There are 2 figures visible, one in the window and one in the middle of the building's opening. The one in the window is very clear, but you might have to download the picture to see the figure in the middle. If you look closely you can see she is transparent; you can see the seams in the boards at the back of the buidling through her dress.
There has been no digital enhancement of any kind and there were no other people or staff members anywhere around this building or in the surrounding area. We are going back this week to talk to the site historian to find out what the building was used for and if anything happened there.
