TheTamshee: could'nt resist the combination of stunning picture of stricken fishing vessel consumed by the elements, with ghostly figure on the Port Fwd hull. The US Coast Guard had to battle low temperatures strong winds, surf conditions and icing while utilizing drums and a commercial helicopter to remove the fuel oil. Transfer hoses and two pumps were employed to remove about 17,195 gallons of oils from the vessel to a mobile tank on shore last week.
Tantallon Castle is a mid-14th century fortress, located about three miles south-east of North Berwick, in East Lothian, Scotland. It sits atop the rugged coastline opposite the Bass Rock, looking out onto the Firth of Forth. TheTamshee: and family enjoy hooking up the Speedbird and taking the short trip to Tantallon Caravan Park. North Berwick has lots to offer, with a visit to the Seabird Centre to track the wildlife on the Rock, well worth the entry fee. The castle is one of the most impressive land marks that I have come across on my travels, with recent stories of ghosts adding to the charm of the castle that was badly damaged by Oliver Cromwell's forces in 1651 Click Here for ghostly video footage.
A ghostly image, possibly that of Edward Jenner, can be seen through the doorway in the attic of the Edward Jenner Museum. Article curtosity of the Telegraph. Photo: PA . This photograph seems to have captured a hazy image of a man sitting on a chair in the attic of the Edward Jenner Museum, in Berkeley. The picture was taken by BBC photographer Chris Sandys who was gathering images for a story on the museum's new Ghosts in the Attic exhibition. Mr Sandys said: "I don't believe in ghosts myself, but this is strange.
"As soon as I'd taken a panoramic photo, I reviewed the image on the camera, and straight away noticed this strange formation of light, shaped like a figure, through the doorway in the next room. "Without moving I did a few takes to try and work out what had caused it but couldn't see anything. It was so weird." Jenner was the pioneer of smallpox vaccination and the father of immunology. He was born in Berkeley in 1749 where he spent most of his career as a doctor in the town before he died in 1823. Sarah Parker, the museum's director, said: "There have always been stories of ghosts at the Edward Jenner Museum. "We usually take them with a large pinch of salt. "We are truly flabbergasted by the image. You can basically see through a doorway what looks like a figure reclining in a chair, only there is no chair there. "Who knows whether it is Jenner himself. We have graffiti from soldiers previously billeted in the attic rooms from the late 19th century and perhaps this is one of them or even one of Jenner's servants." TheTamshee says: the ghostly image ploy to add an extra dimension and point of interest works everytime. For me the photograph is interesting enough in it's own right.
