Complementing our post below, about Moreton Corbet Castle, we briefly refer back to a photograph that was sent into the group following an appeal for ghost stories, in the Shropshire press, back in 2011.  In response to the plea, we were sent the image above.... 

This intriguing photograph was taken in the graveyard of St. Bartholomew Church, situated next to the castle, by husband and wife, Vikki and Andy Yeomans, in late December 2010.  They told us that they had seen nothing untoward at the time of taking the picture and the image was only obtained as a result of Vikki testing out the camera function of her new mobile phone.

 


Showing the image to a reporter from the North Shropshire Chronicle, in very late February, 2011, the picture merited considerable interest and the newspaper ran a sizeable article about the matter, the following week.  Some people, upon seeing the photograph suggested that the 'ghost' was simply a naturally occurring pale patch on the dividing wall... however, if you look closely (see blow-up above) you can see where the light coloured shape actually seems to jut slightly 'above' and stray a little 'below' the wall itself......!?
