+ForsdykeFinders Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) We did the Jack The Ripper series in Central London yesterday and after logging the finds on the PC I thought I would take a look at the spoiler pics. The one for 'Jack The Ripper 1 - Mary Ann Nichols' has a picture of a Victorian looking woman in the background. Before everyone laughs at me, has this been mentioned on here before and am I the victim of a spoof picture?? I have asked the owner if they have noticed this. One other person has also mentioned this in the list of finds. Would be fun if we have a ghostly picture!!! Edited January 22, 2007 by ForsdykeFinders Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 As it doesn't look to be too much of a spoiler... The arrow is where Mary Anne Nichols was found, not where the cache is (as far as I can tell). There might be something in this ghost thing after all Quote

+MartyBartfast Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I think that describing the figure as "Victorian looking" is stretching things a bit, what is it about the figure that makes it Victorian? Personally I find it much more interesting that someone seems to have painted a large arrow on the wall in BLOOD - very spooky Quote
+ForsdykeFinders Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 The dress looks Victorian. I am wondering if it was taken on one of those 'Ghost Walks' where they all dress up. Lets see what the owner says. Quote
+Alibags Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Co-incidentally, Mary Ann Nichols is the Jack the Ripper victim who has the most reported ghost sightings associated with her. Typical reports are of a glowing cloud near the spot or else the glowing form of a womans body laid on the place where she was killed. Quote
+Alice Band Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Curious photo. Mary was wearing workhouse clothes and a new bonnet the night she was killed, and was seen very drunk an hour before she was found. She was 43, poor lass. I played around with the pic in my photoshop software and concluded that the figure is a modern living breathing person, but make of it what you will. A nice spot of mystery to add to the cache site though I have a photo I took of Alibags (which later turned out to have 'orbs') at a cache site but they could easily be spots of dust. Quote
+milvus-milvus Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Can we see the photo of Alibags' orbs? Quote
+stora Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Can we see the photo of Alibags' orbs? /me spits coffee out all over the keyboard Quote
+Sensei TSKC Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Piccy looks too fake to be real! Hope that makes sense. Quote
+ForsdykeFinders Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I had a reply back from LeighBCD. She says she is not aware of the figure and will take a look..... Quote
+TheRoundings Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I had a reply back from LeighBCD. She says she is not aware of the figure and will take a look..... Maybe the figure wasn't in the picture when it was taken and has manifested itself since.... Quote
+Alibags Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I have a photo I took of Alibags (which later turned out to have 'orbs') at a cache site but they could easily be spots of dust. Smacked botty for you Alice Band! Orbs my *rse!! I pointed out the photographic anomolies to you at the time. If that's supernatural then I am Mother Theresa of Calcutta! Bah! Quote

I kinda thought Alibags had rather nice orbs Quote

Not victorian Quote

For someone who reads the Fortean Times magazine you've changed your tune all of a sudden What is the opinion of the original photo taker btw? For all we know its a neighbour! Quote
+Alibags Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 OOOOH! Get her! For someone who reads the Fortean Times magazine you've changed your tune all of a sudden Being interested in paranormal phenomena is not the same as blindly believing everything you read, but I suspect you are just teasing! Now, to my eye, the figure in that pic looks more like an Amish with a white apron than a 19th Century prostitute ... but that's just my 2p. Quote

Here's a blow-up of her: Edit: It couldn't be a giant mutant penguin, could it? Here's another blowup that is a little less "blocky" Fancy dress penguin suit could still be a possibility Quote
+TheRoundings Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I don't know what all the fuss is about I can't see anything unusual... Quote
+Donmoore Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I don't know what all the fuss is about I can't see anything unusual... I think all the fuss was about the big bloodly arrow but now you mention it there is something a bit different about your pic! Quote
+ForsdykeFinders Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I wish my Paintshop was as good at removing bits of photo as yours is. Still nothing from the originator of the picture but the remarks are making me laugh if nothing else. Quote
+TheRoundings Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 ...I think all the fuss was about the big bloodly arrow... What bloodly arrow? Quote
Nediam Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I think "The Roundings" work for the Men In Black/CIA/MI5 etc and are starting a cover up! Quote
+TheRoundings Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I think "The Roundings" work for the Men In Black/CIA/MI5 etc and are starting a cover up! Cover-up no way! - this is for real... Quote
Edgemaster Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 ...I think all the fuss was about the big bloodly arrow... What bloodly arrow? Is that a ghostly orb by the wall? Looks slightly lensy Quote

Scary thing is, that only took you about 40 minutes! Definitely some kind of secret service Good laugh though (mental note...NEVER trust anything The Roundings say, type or photograph ) Edit, Although I do think they need to check their clock settings Edited January 23, 2007 by Nediam Quote
The Monk Of Course Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 This log amused me Thats Mongers!! As it happens! It isn't Mongoose39uk, though it looks like someone has been taking liberties with a picture of me Quote

+Happy Humphrey Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I've only just seen this - I'd be more worried about the dark figure lurking in the doorway on the right. Quote
+TheRoundings Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 You can only see that dark figure in the doorway if you look very carefully - and he looks quite friendly to me.... Quote
Team Tate Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Thought I'd pop in on a rare visit to the forums! We had a log for one of our caches: Chapel Trouble It is a spooky place and other photos of the same building haven't shown anything. Sarah x Quote
