A costumed figure stands in a doorway at Hampton Court Palace in southwest London in this image caught on closed circuit television and released by the Palace Friday, Dec. 19, 2003. On several occasions in October 2003, guards at the palace were alerted to an open fire door in the 16th century palace. Upon reviewing the CCTV footage, the curious image of a costumed figure suddenly appeared on the screen and closed the doors. The Palace is well known for its alleged supernatural activity.

By JACK GARLAND, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?


Closed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?


"We're baffled too — it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax. "We genuinely don't know who it is or what it is."


Wood said security guards had seen the figure in closed-circuit television footage after checking it to see who kept leaving open one of the palace's fire doors.


In the still photograph, the figure of a man in a robe-like garment is shown stepping from the shadowy doorway, one arm reaching out for the door handle.


The area around the man is somewhat blurred, and his face appears unnaturally white compared with his outstretched hand.


"It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn't look human," said James Faukes, one of the palace security guards.


"My first reaction was that someone was having a laugh, so I asked my colleagues to take a look. We spoke to our costumed guides, but they don't own a costume like that worn by the figure. It is actually quite unnerving," Faukes said.


The palace, built in 1525 on the River Thames 10 miles west of central London, is a popular tourist attraction and some of the guides wear costumes of the Tudor period.


Wood said she was hoping people would come forward with similar stories and try to explain the figure.


The palace has been the scene of many dramatic royal events, and already is supposed to have a few ghosts.


King Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour, died there giving birth to a son, and her ghost is said to walk through one of the cobbled courtyards carrying a candle.


Her son, Edward, had a nurse called Sibell Penn who was buried in the palace grounds in 1562. In 1829 her tomb was disturbed by building work, and around the same time an odd whirring noise began to be heard in the southwest wing of the palace. When workmen traced the strange sounds to a brick wall, they uncovered a small forgotten room containing an old spinning wheel, just like the one Penn used to use.


Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, condemned for adultery, was held at the palace under house arrest before her execution at the Tower of London. An 1897 book about the palace says she was reportedly seen, dressed in white and floating down one of the galleries uttering unearthly shrieks.


The palace was once a prison for King Charles I, who later was beheaded, and then home to his nemesis Oliver Cromwell, who briefly ruled when Britain was for a short time a republic.

*****sburg is supposedly haunted...when I went there were college kids partying all over the damn place. :lol:

[ShotOver]

Whats the arrow pointing to in the picture?

[NcDeuce]

Supposed to be some ghost or orb ****.

[ShotOver]

haha, fair enough.

The thing that scares me with ghosts is that they arnt "physical" so you can't hit them, and beat the **** out of them like you can do with a mugger, or some person on the street.

So it's that whole defencless thing that scares me... :|

[Vance]

Supposed to be some ghost or orb ****.

It's a speck of dirt on the camera lens...even an uneducatd photographer should know that.

dear god, casper's a scary mother ****er!

[Midav]

i see dead people....they are running in circles..... erm, my mistake. it's just an albino kid running from michael jackson...

seriosuly, i believe in ghosts. dunno, just heard a couple of people that i trust say they've had an encounter.

[Seraphim]

I had an "encounter" I think I was between grade 4 and 6...was going to the washroom, you have to walk to the end of a dark hall before theres a lightswitch, right before I hit the switch I see this green glowy thing right in front of me, hand hits the switch and it seem like it went through me and into the kitchen doorway which was to my right.

Doesnt help when the grave yard is only across two roads....

[EvanL]

Im pretty sure i saw the spirit of my grandpa after he died and we moved into our new house which we bought with his money in his will.

Nothing.
You gotta have a Walther P99. ;)

BTW put 300 rounds of cheap ammo (Wolf) through it the other day, zero malfunctions. woot

[ShotOver]

yeah man, my grandma died in my old house, and her rocking chair used to rock all the time, when all the doors were closed... and you used to ALWAYS get this feeling someone was watching you, even though no body was in the house.

*Gets the chills*

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Ya I believe in them, I havent had any encounters myself but I actually hope I do. I find it rather interesting, would definately like to find a haunted house n chill for awhile n see what its all about.

[ShotOver]

Nah, Ghosts scare the total **** out of me. My grandma did'nt because well, i know her...

But me and my mates were running through a grave yard because the cops were after us, and my mate stepped on a few grave's and before he got out of the graveyard, he like flew forward, and broke both his legs.. real bad. So we both got taken away by coppers..

I didnt step on any graves, so that whole experience scares me to death.

hahahha

Moving dirt!

Ya I like the idea that you can stick around after death, because this bastard would enjoy an eternity of screwing with peoples minds.

Heres something for you kiddies to try if you got some free time.
Get a tape recorder jack up the sensitivity, on a full moon go to the graveyard (the older the better). The best time this works is around 12-2am, turn it on and walk quietly around the graveyard keeping the tape recorder as low to the ground as possible. After about a good 2 hours head on home rewind the tape n have a listen ;) I hope you have balls because you'll never look at a graveyard the same again.

[spectre5]

I have always been blamed to have a really good imagination, well thats not good all the times :roll: ..

Well anyways i had the most ****ed up dream yesterday:

I was in some military unit doing some recon ****, and a huge clown appeared, and everyone opened fire at it, ofcource no-one could hit it..

Then it massacred anyone and I woke up when it attacked me. **** I was so scared I was afraid to go back to sleep :( .

Ok this might seem somewhat ****ed up, but I was reading Stephen King's "It" that night, and I am naturally afraid of clows, so I guess that explains it

Well anyways I answered yes :|

Jesus Christ man...the INSTRUCTIONS scare the hell outa me. **** that. Tie it to a dog or something and get it in the morning.

[Guttorm]

Any of you seen the ghost vid on ebaums? I liked it.

But yeah I belive in ghosts. My parents house is over a 100 years old, and the dud that built it still lingers there.

[Armour recon]

Oh for bollocks! There are no ghosts! It's natural to see in dark some weird things...

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

RÄHINÄREMMI if you dont believe so follow my instructions dude, you'll never want to be near a graveyard again.

P.s. I forgot an important part though, if you feel like your unwanted in the graveyard, its probably cause you arnt so run. It may sound silly but go with your gut on things like that, besides I dont blame you for running anyways.

[Armour recon]

Few times in nightpatrol I remember people saw some F****** weird things. Specially when people haven't slept for a 3-4 days!

[USMarine3521]

the thing is you can't do **** to the ghost and the ghost can't do **** to you. the only thing it can do is scare you and thats it. :D

you might be able to scare it by pointing an AT-4 at it or something. rofl

After 3-4 days of no sleep they look like ghosts themselves! :D

I was going to post that photo and news piece as well, but someone beat me to it!

Only ever had one "ghostly" experience. In my forces days, I was on patrol one freezing, pitch black winter night with my section on an airbase we were at on exercise. The airbase had been an old Lancaster bomber base during the war. My patrol and I were out on the far perimeter track near the main runway. Suddenly we heard very loud multi-engined propeller engines quite close by, out of nowhere. It scared the hell out of us as we thought an aircraft was coming in. We moved away from the runway but the sound was still loud and crystal clear. I got on the base net and called up our other section not far away, but they couldn't hear the engines. By now we were sh*tting ourselves, so we very quickly got out of the area. Eventually the noise stopped, and we went back into the guardroom for a strong brew! I immediately checked with my boss, no propellor aircraft on the base at all, and nothing overhead in the air either according to the control tower lads. Even now, about 10 years on, I can't explain it and it still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.............

[Dalleer]

I've never had these "ghost experiences" in my life, mainly because I truly don't believe in them nor do I believe in the existence of "ghosts" as you put it.

But, I'm not ruling out that they wouldn't exist; "none of them have strayed in my path just yet"

In any case, this "take a recorder and go to the graveyard-thing" interests me greatly, maybe I'll try it out when I've got the chance to.


P.s. I forgot an important part though, if you feel like your unwanted in the graveyard, its probably cause you arnt so run

What do you mean "unwanted"? like the ghosts don't like you, huh?

I need to prove this thing wrong or let a ghost scare me to death, either way.

[Armour recon]

In winter when it's really dark in the forest, small trees look just like humans because they are moving by the wind. It's funny, patrol leader raises his hand and everybody just freezez bacuse of a little tree!

[Herrmannek]

I also don't belive in ghosts, but my dog made me scary joke once :) ....Wen I had only one dog I was ussualy walking only with him past 22:00 on night walks to piss and **** him off.
So once apolet time there was cold winter night with very thick fog, so thick that when I went deep into field I couldn't see city lights or my setlement lights, and only I could see was few metres ahead and bright moon in full. Like ussualy I was walknig contemplative completly not lookin around, then my dog started barking madly into the fog(never done that before),and runing around me, I tried to calm him down but he still was growling, I was trying to see why he is acting like that but seen nothing...then I've got strong goose-flesh on my back when I realised that it is fulll-moon with class B horror fog...wow...tought that it would be good idea to come back home, dog was nervous untill we've got home :).

How was the accuracy with that Wolf? I've been disappointed with 5.56 in the past. Just curious.

Oh, I believe in ghosts, but I am not afraid of them.

For those of us too terrified to try this judging by what your saying, can you explain what you will hear on the tape recorder?

[Haiw]

I believe if you turn the volume up pretty big you might hear some faint talking, though not necessarily in English. Heard something about it a while back.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Ya faint talking is right, sometimes screams, some people even heard something call there name. Either way it scares the **** outta you.

As for my refference to feeling "unwanted" its more of a gut feeling, theres a difference between "unwanted" and "scared ****less". Feeling "unwanted" in a graveyard is not a good thing, your instincts is what you go on when you do something like this so its always good to go with some one else and if they feel the same then its time to leave. If you dont then your probably pissing off the people under the ground and then you refer to being "scared ****less".

[Gringo]

take a look at this for some more evidence

Heres the video of the Hampton Ghost thingy...you need real player though :(

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Real player? Blastphamy :( ...its almost worse then windows media player and its spyware that comes with it.

[papasmerf]

I think it's wrong for people to say there are no ghosts unless they can prove it.
