Woman spots Ghostly Bishop after Cathedral visit

A woman who took a picture of a shadowy figure in a cathedral believes she might have captured the ghost of a bishop.

Kerry Launders, 29, photographed the stunning interiors of Norwich Cathedral, Norfolk, during day out with her partner Simon Tobb, 30, and her children, Millie, two, and Oscar, one, last month.

But it was not until she looked back at the mobile phone images that she spotted what appears to be a man, dressed in long robes and a tall hat, staring down from a balcony above.

And it is not the first time something spooky has been seen at the 11th century cathedral. The Gothic grade-I listed building is a stop-off point on a number of ghost tours around the area.

Ms Launders, from Bury, Greater Manchester said: 'I was just taking photos of the arch on my camera and that was that. There was nothing up there.

'But when I look back through my photos I saw something and had a proper look and I thought "wow" this is a good picture.

'I looks like a bishop - and there are a lot of those buried there - with the long clothing and the tall hat. I wasn't scared when I saw it though because I believe in this sort of stuff.' 

Visitors to the cathedral have also reported seeing ghostly figures in the Church of England spired building.

Woman claims she was healed by a ghost...with a photo to prove it

A WOMAN believes she was healed by a ghostly apparition known as the White Lady as she visited a church during a family summer holiday.

Diane Berthelot had been unwell for months after having her gall bladder removed and was taking antibiotics for an infection when she went into Worstead village church in Norfolk to rest and escape the heat.

While she sat on a pew close to the font and prayed for a full recovery, her husband Peter and son David wandered around the empty church taking photographs.

Mrs Berthelot remembers vividly tingling all over and feeling “warm and comfortable” while sitting on the wooden bench with her eyes closed and head bowed.

When she felt better the family left the church and did not think about the incident until six months later when the camera film was developed and they held a slide show of their holiday snaps for their lodger at their home in Chelmsford, Essex.

One photo clearly showed a woman wearing a bonnet and dressed in light-coloured, old-fashioned clothes, sitting facing Mrs Berthelot on a bench directly behind her.

The Legend of the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall is probably the most famous and most widely used reported ghost photo there is.

According to legend, the "Brown Lady of Raynham Hall" is the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole (1686-1726) and is so named because of the brown brocade dress it is claimed she wears.

It is said that Lady Townsend's husband, Charles Townsend, suspected his wife of being unfaithful and even though she is listed as having been buried in 1725 many people think that her death and funeral were faked. Instead, Lady Townsend was locked away in a remote part of the house until she passed away in 1726 from smallpox never allowing her to even see her children. Ever since then she is thought to be haunting Raynham Hall.

Raynham Hall is a country house in Norfolk, England. For nearly 400 years it has been the seat of the Townsend family.

Pay close attention to the timing of the events to see if this is planned by the ghost, just a coincidence or deliberately planned?

Sightings:

The first recorded sighting of the ghost was made at a gathering at Raynham Hall at Christmas in 1835.

The next sighting of the "Brown Lady" was made in 1836 by Captain Frederick Marryat a friend of novelist Charles Dickens.
