AN eerie image
of a figure at a
Scottish castle
has got ghost
experts spooked,
Harry Haydon
reports for
The U.K. Sun
March 26th.

The scary shot was unearthed
during the biggest ever
investigation into photographic
evidence of ghosts.
The picture,
taken in May last year,
shows a spectral figure in fifteenth
century dress peering out of a
barred window at
Tantallon Castle in East Lothian
.
.
No mannequins or costumed guides
are used at the castle and photo
experts have confirmed that no
digital trickery was used.
Even ghost sceptic Professor
Richard Wiseman admitted
to being puzzled.
“It is certainly very curious,”
he said.
“We ran it by three photographic
experts and they said it hadn’t
been Photoshopped at all.
.
“The figure appears to be
in period costume,
but we know 100 per cent that
Tantallon Castle is not the sort
of place that has dummies or
costumed guides;
they just don’t go in
for that sort of thing.
“I suppose it could be a visitor
looking a little bit strange.
Perhaps someone will
come forward.
.
Another possibility is an odd
reflection of sunlight,
but it does look very like
a person.
The explanation
is not obvious.”
Tantallon Castle,
a ruined fortress dating back
to the 14th century,
stands on a remote rocky headland
near North Berwick on the East
coast of Scotland.
It was badly damaged in an attack
by Oliver Cromwell’s forces in 1651.
.
Christopher Aitchison,
who took the photo, said:
“I was not aware of anyone,
or anything,
being present in my picture.”
Psychologist Prof Wiseman,
from the University of Hertfordshire,
who has made many studies of
the supernatural,
launched the investigation
a month ago.
Members of the public were
asked to submit ghostly images
for experts to analyse,
the best of which were posted on
the website
scienceofhauntings.com.
More than 250 pictures were received
from all over the world and more
than a quarter of a million people
voted for what they considered to
be the most convincing photos.

Oh please, people use to think gravity was fake also. It dosent mean there isnt a scientific explanation for the existence of spirits. You do remember we are all made up of energy. I have an uncle who is a scientist with JPL (NASA) and he believes in the possibilities of spirits.

The “ghost” figure doesn’t seem to blend in with the environment. It’s much brighter than the walls, and reminds me of a poster or photo.
At my local theater, there’s a cardboard cutout of a priest in one of the windows. This photo reminds me of how that cutout looks like from faraway and zoomed in.
badcastd - March 27, 2009 at 9:22 pm |
This sortof thing is plenty creepy. The really eerie ones are the ones in which it’s a family reunion picture, and a dead relative shows up (I’ve heard of similar things with Civili War reinactments, and dead soldiers appearing the pictures taken.) Strange, strange stuff…

Look, with photoshop, you can no longer rely on photographic evidence for anything! Since the existence of ghosts is very improbable, most likely all these photos have been faked–perhaps by people who would like you to believe in ghosts. A strong dose of healthy skepticism is highly called for at this point.

This is a great story,and its not surprising that ghosts do appear sometimes! Most of the spirits are lost and dwell at the places they’ve known while they were living! Great job,Rash
andrea772510 - March 28, 2009 at 7:55 pm |
My family lives near Tantallon Castle (which is in East Lothian, not Fife as written in the article ….) Which makes me think it must be a hoax when they can’t even identify where it is. We’ve never heard of ghosts there. But it’s good to get publicity to get more people to go there and pay for the restoration work!
Coach Val - March 28, 2009 at 8:49 pm |
Chris (the guy who took the picture) is a friend of mine, I have spoke to him in some depth about this picture. Firstly Chris is not the type of guy who would fake this picture. I know its easy for me to come on here and lie but you’ll just either have to believe me or discard everything I say. He has in no way altered this picture either, he was there with his wife (as a tourist) and tried to take an arty picture. He noticed something in the image when he got home and admits that if his camera had not been 10mgp this photo would not exist. He has been back to the castle with experts to try and re-create the image but with no luck, he has also said that you need to stand in that window at a very strange angle to appear in that position. Make what you will of this picture but I can guarantee that Chris gas not faked it and he is happy to accept any logical explanation for it. Its a shame that no-one has found one yet.

Didn’t you read the article? It hasn’t been photoshopped. People are quick to dismiss something like this because what they can’t explain makes them uncomfortable and afraid. Be courageous and embrace the unknown!
Austin - March 29, 2009 at 5:35 pm |
I used to be one of the skeptics; hard-core skeptic. I believed in absolutely nothing that science could not observe, quantify and replicate in the laboratory. However, all of that was shattered with the experiences my family and I had in our home in Birmingham, AL. Everyone who entered my home for any length of time was able to experience paranormal activity. We went through all of the logical channels trying to debunk what we were experiencing as natural occurences, but to no avail. Finally, with a digital tape recorder I was able to obtain undisputable proof that what we were experiencing was not of this world and way beyond my understanding of the universe. My whole belief system has changed as a result, and although I know there are a lot of hoaxes and I still remain skeptical as the rule of thumb; I will never say never again. Many things are possible, whether we believe in them or not. Experience is the best teacher and I have also learned that only a true experience will change someone’s beliefs. Actually, that is the only thing that should change them.

Ghost? what kind is it?
theopiluss - March 30, 2009 at 6:59 am |
I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss things like this as I once was – having been pretty heavily skeptical of this sort of stuff, until I saw this UFO (read the comments too – its not just me!).
Though I’d like to know whether that scaffolding was near the window in question and maybe someone could have played a prank?
In articles such as that in ths Sun (a newspaper reknowned for hyperbole), we are almost always not given the complete details – as they would ruin the mystery.
robscott2007 - March 30, 2009 at 9:49 am |
Hey guyz, i don’t think that this stuff is a prank or a joke. This is real, cz ghost do exist in this world. Not everyone is able to see them with their naked eyes, but still there are people who can. So, people, plz dont take it as a joke, instead believe in it. And try avoiding going out alone to such lonely places, alone as well as with your families, and especially at night, specially with small kids.This is a friendly harmless advice for your safety. Thanks.
Musarrat - March 30, 2009 at 10:11 am |
All you sceptics make me laugh. You are so ignorant and closed minded that you cannot even acknowledge that there may be things in this world that the human race don’t understand yet. Most of your moronic, semi-literate, textlish ramblings display perfectly your level of intelligence and education. Stick with your Flat Earth Society meetings you dimwits.
Valencia - March 30, 2009 at 11:11 am |
i agree unless you experince the real meaning of the paranormal
then closed minds are of not importance
sally - December 26, 2009 at 2:04 pm |
It looks more like a painting behind the bars.
It’s definately a 2d picture, maybe evn a poster.
How anybody can see otherwise is beyond me.
Mind you in this age of depleting intelligence
“expert” is fast becoming a joke
also the “blowup” arrows indicates the whole window expanded,
Look properly and it’s actually ony the left half of the window
up to the center beam.
Some people are too desperate to believe this
The “sceptics make me laugh” comments make me laugh
this whole pic is laughably bad (and I am not a Sceptic either)
This is an embarrassment to the genuine cases.
Geoff - March 30, 2009 at 9:18 pm |
Of course, whoever is running this site has chosen to deliberately suppress the rest of the expert’s opinion, which can be seen on http://www.richardwiseman.com – “The image doesn’t show any signs of having been altered at all … However, after enhancing the shadows it looks like it could be somebody coming down the spiral staircase.” But I suppose a bit of commonsense and truthful reporting is too much to expect from a site like this.
And I bet Valencia is American. Why is it that so many Americans resort to vicious abuse and think that that is somehow a substitute for rational debate and is going to win arguments? Apologies to Americans if I am wrong in this case, but I have so often seen this sort of childish outburst on US websites. It doesn’t do any credit to either individuals or the US – people just think “typical Yank.” Friendly advice Valencia, no matter what your age or nationality, for relating to real people as well as joining in internet discussions – politeness costs nothing and will help you get your point across, while verbal abuse will just make people turn away in disgust, or perhaps smack you on the nose (or put a bullet through you if you’re in America). We all get angry from time to time, but never put anything in writing until you have calmed down and considered “Does the other person have a point?”

Hey it must be a ghost. I was told about this story two days ago by text by Mrs Aitchinson. Chris is the most honest person you could ever meet. If he has a ghostly figure in his picture then there is one. Congratulations. x
Carol - March 31, 2009 at 8:10 am |
Can you run that past me again please Carol? An honest person tells you it is a ghost so it must be true? In the first place, honesty has absolutely nothing to do with the value of someone’s opinion. In the second, what Chris actually said (assuming we cantrust this site to be accurate) was “I was not aware of anyone being present in my picture.” Think about that sentence for half a minute. Does that mean “There definitely was not anyone in the picture when I took it?” No, it doesn’t. It means that Chris Aitchison cannot say for sure whether or not anyone was standing at the opening when he took the shot. In other words, plenty of room for doubt.
Squeezer - March 31, 2009 at 12:53 pm |
Hello Squeezer and all,
I’m originally a Californian, and your US/Yank comments hurt a little, tho’ I don’t like the US “shoot first” attitude either. I’ve been an Anglophile and Celtiphile since age 4 or 5 (instigated by a diet of “The Avengers” and The Beatles and etc. etc. etc.) so am pretty immersed in British culture. For fairness, and with your Yank argument in mind, we should remember the impossible snobbery of some of the British “upper” classes (and American, too — some just as bad). And also, when I went to school in London with a group of Americans, I was disappointed to hear, on the 1st day, the “We don’t want you here” speech from “an angry young man” sort of professor who told us Americans that we were too stupid to ever grasp the rules of cricket because it was too English and was all about “leather and weather” and there was no way we could ever get it and “we don’t want you here.” When he said, “Any questions?” I unfortunately didn’t pipe up and reveal that that was my second stay in England and that the people in the countryside had welcomed me, and some partly because I was American, and of course that I’d been immersed in the culture since age 4 or 5. It was the typical leftist-Marxist university attitude from this English professor, which is so common in the USA now — I think I only had 2 university classes in the US where Marx wasn’t dragged in somehow — they really had to exert themselves to haul in Marxism from the most unlikely corners. It was tiresome. And I’ve always wanted to get ahold of that professor again and tell him he was absolutely full of it. Once at night outside a pub in Whitechapel I came across a Welshman trying to pick a drunken man up out of the street. I stopped and helped him, and the Welshman told me, “That’s what I like about you Yanks — you’re open-hearted.” A reminder, please, Squeezer, that all us Americans aren’t “shoot first” types. What else fed my Anglo- and Celti- philia? King Arthur, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Moody Blues, ELO, Elgar, John Ireland, Ian Fleming, The Iveys/Badfinger, Land Rovers and Minis, W. W. Jacobs (ghosts) and Dickens (ghosts) and M. R. James (ghosts), Wilkie Collins (ghosts), the Brontes, Hardy and Houseman, and that Norwegian/Welsh-Celtic/Anglo, Roald Dahl — and more and more on down the line. With that lineup just as a starter, how could anyone not be an Anglo- Celti-phile? Now, has anyone seen the second Tantallon photo, taken 32 years ago? It’s another figure-in-the-window pic.
Eric - April 2, 2009 at 9:56 pm |
It scares me that so many people in the world have no idea what science is about. Science isn’t about being closed-minded, it is about accepting the most probable explanation. I, for one, have not seen enough evidence that ghosts exist. In fact, almost everything that I have seen suggests that they do not. I mean, if ghosts existed and were capable of being photographed, wouldn’t we see more “unequivocal” photos? Most people interested in the paranormal will tell you that most of the ghost photos out there are rubbish; only a select few are real. If that is really the case, then why? Are ghosts extremely rare? Why is it that some people can see them, but others cannot? Why are they photographed so rarely? Everyone wants to think that ghosts exist, it give us hope of an eternal existence. It makes us believe that our dead loved ones are still out there, somewhere. I wish it were true, but I have no reason to think it is. This photo doesn’t change that. There are plenty of things in the world that we do not understand. Just because we don’t understand them, does not mean that there is necessarily a supernatural explanation.
Doug - April 2, 2009 at 10:46 pm |
Now I am actually NOT a sceptic – I actually do believe in ghosts and always have done since a child…..BUT what I cant understand with this pic is that I didnt know you can get ghosts now in 3d format and in superb colour….amazing that… maybe one day the ghosts will look really authentic and get served a beer in a pub, buy a newspaper and nobody would realise, except the monetry difference lol, mind you in todays world who would wanna come back lol…
Spanner - April 3, 2009 at 12:11 am |
I’m very curious about these sorts of pictures and it’s true that many of them could be photoshopped, or simply be a trick of shadow – particuarly the one of the apparent black figure on the beach. Clearly, in this case it’s simply a cove in the cliff face that has been reflected into the sea – actually I’m surpried that anyone would even suggest it’s a ghost! Of course in the case of Tantallon Castle this could be just another visitor, as that would be the most likely explanation if the picture hasn’t been doctored. However, I know from some strange things I’ve uncovered among my own photos, that I have to wonder – I know I didn’t photoshop them (Goodness I wouldn’t know how!!) but that’s simply my word against another’s, so you see the problem there.
Surely we are only just beginning to unravel the mysteries of conciousness and time, one explanation could be sometimes the past intrudes into the present in some way, so that might be one explanation of so-called hauntings, surely even sceptics might entertain that idea, given what we now know about Quantum physics. However, I do personally believe in the survival of conciousness after death, I’ve just had experiences myself that are too extraordinary to explain away, but I’m on no crusade to prove my point:-) I think it’s much more interesting to say ‘what if…’ and not dismiss everything out of hand as hallucination or fraud, but it’s also wise to look for ALL possible rational explanations first. Interesting picture whatever it’s nature!
EJB - April 3, 2009 at 2:04 am |
Nowadays, supernaturals are being seen everywhere. This is not surprising. I hope one day Science will provide explanation about these paranormal beings and in general on Superstition. But this day might be far because Science and Superstition are for the moment two poles apart. But the increasing proof of superstition must lead Science to find an answer to this subject.

siobhankos - April 3, 2009 at 7:14 pm |
Is it just me or do the railings in the zoomed in version not match the railings in the main version?
I can’t tie them together.
We are all often guilty of this.
Is it the blatantly obvious we overlook
when trying hard to see the things we want to see
in order to confirm the positions we have taken?

Hi,I just want to start by saying ghost do exsist. Im not gonna say that everyone who dosent belive should start beliveing coz we all have the right to belive or disbelive in anything but i know that ghost do exsist as ive seen them not in photos or on the televison but really seen them my sister has also seen them. When i was younger me n my sister drew a picture off what we had seen we didnt show each other the pictures untill we had finished and when we put the pictures together they were both the same. but i do think the picture of the woman in the window is fake as you can see every detail of her face n its not like that with ghosts n she is too solid you can actually see though ghosts……….And Musarrat ghosts dont just appear at night they do appear in the day time aswell and most of the time they harmless xx

WHEN CHRIS INITIALLY APPROACHED MYSELF WITH THIS PHOTOGRAPH, I TO WAS SCEPTICAL AND THOUGHT IT MUST BE A MANNEQUIN AND THAT HISTORIC SCOTLAND MUST HAVE HAD AN EVENT ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY, HOWEVER, ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT HISTORIC SCOTLAND DO NOT HAVE MANNEQUINS OF ANY SORT IN ANY OF THEIR SITES AND NEVER HAVE.
AN UNOFFICIAL INITIAL INVESTIGATION BY RSGHOSTWATCH RESEARCH DISCOVERED SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE AND ONCE ALL FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT BY RSGHOSTWATCH RESEARCH ALL FINDINGS WILL BE REVEALED!
POSSIBLE LIGHT REFLECTION HAS ALREADY BEEN DISREGARDED BY PROFESSOR RICHARD WISEMAN A WELL KNOWN SCEPTIC IN OUR PRESCENCE.

reading through these comments i have concluded that chris must have driven to tantallon with a manequin or a large poster or something like that,then place it behind the bars or something,while no one seen him ,then took the foto,then waited untill a competition for the best ghost picture came along (about 1 year)or something,then paid all 40% of the poeple that voted for the pic to win(about 115,000 poeple)or something ,for what ,nothing,nothing at all,…….get a grip of reality poeple IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT IT IS A GHOST,but u cant say that its a 100% fake ,the fact is,its a very strange picture FACT

My thanks to Val Coach. Your comment on the restoration work made me smile and remember.
I remember the parrafin lantern that had to be carried to go down and see the dungeon before they put in the electricity. And a sexy Bridget Bardot standing on the edge of the cliffs before they built all the fencing. And the canon hole that you could crawl through at night.
I’ve heard that the next project is to lay down carpets so that the Ghostbusters can creep about without scaring away the spooks.
The castle has a very rich history but as far as I know there is little mention of ghosts. Personally, I never saw any ghosts but I’ve run out of there across the moat bridge scared shitless.

this message is to zaggy,i do believe in ghosts and the fact that strange things do occur,thats why im commenting on this web site,if its just light on rubble as you say then why are you even wasting your time commenting on it(make your mind up son)
wullie fae r&s ghostwatch - April 5, 2009 at 5:24 pm |
Could I just repeat what I said above, as no-one seems to have noticed. An expert opinion is that “it looks like it could be someone coming down the spiral staircase.” It is really a very important point that the area behind the railings is accessible to the public, and the most likely explanation is that the figure is in fact another visitor. The claims that he/she is in period dress is very tenuous – all that can be seen of clothing is something around the neck. It is claimed that this is a ruff, but why not the top of an anorak. Because anoraks are not as sensational as a Tudor ruff perhaps?
Eric, I am sincerely sorry that you are hurt by my comments. I should have stressed that (along with Australians) Americans are the warmest and most hopspitable people I have ever met. It’s just that on internet sites you do sometimes come across people who I judge from their vocabulary are American and who indulge in very insulting language if someone disagrees with them. Unfortunately there is a lot of anti-American feeling around the world, mainly because of US foreign policies which individuals such as yourself are in no way responsible. It is obviously unjust that you should have suffered because of that and I am very sorry that you have experienced it, especially in my country.
Squeezer - April 8, 2009 at 7:27 pm |
I find it curious that most of the skeptical comments are marred by atrocious grammar, misspellings and of course, the sure sign of the uneducated: “lol”.
The more realistic something looks, the more likely people will think it is fake. But if it looks fuzzy or less than clear, then of course the photo is lambasted as no good. So it’s almost pointless to have a photo of anything paranormal at all…unless you have an objective mind.
I wonder if a lot of “ghost” photographs are actually “timeslips”. We think of time as running from Point A to Point B but does it always? Maybe this photograph is actually some one-in-a-million anomaly…an actual picture of the past. Maybe the face in the window is wondering if the odd figures he saw in the courtyard for a split second were real. No, it couldn’t be…

How do you know its really a ghost
and not a fake picture
Brett Morris - October 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm |
I have seen similar spirits
from what I beleived to be 16th century
England during a stay at a stone
farm house bed and breakfast in 2004
in the Cotswolds.
Those spirits were dressed in period garb
but I only saw them from the chest up.
One was kingly looking,
the other wore black with a pleated ruff/collar.
I will be going to Scotland in early April 2010
and plan on visiting this castle.
Hopefully,
I will encounter your ghost.

I know this photo is genuine.
Professor Robert Wiseman,
Hertford University admitted he
was puzzled and carried out his
own research with Dr. Cairen O’Keefe
of Most Haunted fame.
Despite many attempts to actually place
the Ghost in exactly the same position
they failed.
I am amazed at some of the outrageous comments
posted on this site by people who insist they know
more than those who were directly involved is beyond belief –
sheer arrogance.
Christopher,
if you knew him is genuine
and would not subscribe to
anything fake or contrived.
Charles Aitchison - February 24, 2010 at 3:09 pm |
You cannot convince anyone
who hasn’t seen a ghost that ghosts exist.
And even if you have three people
who are sitting to lunch
(as it happened in my home)
and you all hear some noises at the gate
and then see a mysterious flash of white go by…
it will still be impossible to prove
that all three have seen a ghost.
What everyone has to remember
is that not everything can be explained
in terms of science and that there are
things beyond our understanding.
These things exist.
Ghosts exist.
Some see them,
others don’t.
We all have different experiences right?
Does this mean your experience
is more real than or mine is more
real than yours?
We all know the answer to that question.
If you don’t believe in ghosts,
it’s perfectly ok. Just give some
measure of respect to those who do
and those who have seen them.
Peace!

I’m not a sceptic when it comes to ghosts
or strange things happening as I have seen
a ghost and heard a ghost.
I was 12 years old playing soldiers in my
bedroom I looked out the window and I saw
an evil looking face staring straight back
at me.
This was in broad daylight I was stuck
planted to the floor couldn’t move when
I did I ran out of the bedroom and jumped
screaming for my sister.
I jumped from The top of
the stairs to the bottom.
I know what I saw and it wasn’t
a figment of my imagination.
Years later when I got married
I brought books on the occult God
witchcraft and the like.
I was reading them in bed.
When I woke up one day my wife turned
and said Andrew how did you get those
scratches on your back and chest it
was a cross on my chest that drew blood
but there was no blood.
The scratch marks on my back were from
the top of my neck to virtually bottom
of my back.
I have no recollection or
explanation or felt anything.
4 or 5 days later my wife and I watching TV.
Living room used to be my bedroom when I saw
the face at the window.
All of a sudden there was three
gigantic bangs on the adjoining wall
The bangs were so loud it made the room shudder.
Have no explanation on the noise.
The scratches on my back pounds on my
chest or the face I saw the window when
I was 12.
(This house was the house I was born in)
my wife told me to get rid of all the
books so one evening I did and took them
to a church and left them by the big doors
for the priest to dispose of them How he liked.
After that nothing really happened.
About 18 months later I wife met a new
friend she was a secretary at Harlequins
rugby football club one day she asked her
to come to our house for tea as they were
walking down the road on the opposite side
of the road The lady said to my wife oh my
God there is a small boy on top of the
chimney over there.
My wife said I can’t see any boy anyway
they went upstairs with their tea sat
down The lady said to my wife again don’t
look now but that boy is now staring at
us by the door.
My wife couldn’t see any boy
but the lady said he is there.
So you see there has to be some thing
all the happenings that happened to me
and my wife could not be made up.
Have more true stories events but
they are far too long for now.
If you have read this far thanks

Thank You for sharing that Andrew!
I can relate to reading the occult books –
I read dozens upon dozens of books about witchcraft,
ESP, paranormal growing up because I borrowed them from
my Mom so I could use science to disprove the Occult.
Skipping way ahead in my story,
years later I had learned the hard way
the Occult is very real.
after the things that happened to me
(thats another story)
I threw myself full on into the study of
the Occult and Witchcraft for about two years
so that I could somehow get some payback for
what they did to me and some others.
‘Christian Counseling and Occultism’ by
Kurt Koch and all his other books opened
my eyes.
http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Counseling-Occultism-Oppression-Deliverance/dp/0825430100
but don’t ANYONE start this type of
study unless GOD is protecting you
and you pray for the gift (curse?) of
being able to handle the Dark Stuff
without getting sucked into the powers
the Occult will tempt you with.
(Yet another story)
Thank You for sharing Andrew,
I know you write the truth, whew.
Now you know why I only do jokes,
politics and photos and mostly
skip occult stuff because it’s
just too heavy for most people
to deal with the truth.
