Tobin's Spirit Guide

For the sake of anonymity, I go by BigKilla (an old internet gaming handle). I've always been interested in the occult and the paranormal. This is the appendix to my guide to the same, named after the fictional book from the movie Ghostbusters. Here I'll collect news and information about the unexplainable and forgotten.

If you would like to contact me, to trade links or send me leads, I'd be happy to hear from you.

I can be reached at: bigkilla@analogmedium.com

If I have posted something that belongs to you and you would like me to take it down, I will be happy to do so.

Specter of Newby Church

This photograph was taken in 1963 by Reverend K. F. Lord at Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England. It has been a controversial photo because it is just too good. The shrouded face and the way it is looking directly into the camera makes it look like it was posed – a clever double exposure. Yet supposedly the photo has been scrutinized by photo experts who say the image is not the result of a double exposure.

The Reverend Lord has said of the photo that nothing was visible to the naked eye when he took the snapshot of his altar. Yet when the film was developed, standing there was this strange cowled figure.

I would just like to add that I would dare myself to look at this picture in the Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown books and it would scare the living shit out of me when I was little.
