Wondering about some strange stories.

Most of us go through life living in a world made up of solids, liquids, and gasses.  Atoms group together and made molecules that group together to make the gasses.  Some go even further to make the liquids and the solids.  But then there is the super-natural world.  That world is visited by some a lot more than by others.  I, for one, don't get to visit that place much, but I do know people who do or have.  But, I am getting off the track.

What first comes to your minds when you think of super natural things is ghosts?  Would it be ole Casper, who I wrote a blog posting about awhile back?

No, I mean real ghosts or poltergeists.  Actually I mean ghost.  A poltergeist is is neither a ghost nor a haunting.  They are caused by the unconscious mind of a living person, usually under some kind of stress.  Where as a ghost is the spirit of a person supposedly caught between this plane of existence and the next.  They are suppose to be intelligent beings that are quite capable of interacting with the living.

 

I found this picture in my Ripley's Believe It or Not book.  I also found the same picture on the Internet.  It was easier to copy the one from the Internet than go to the trouble of scanning a page of book.  This photograph of Mary Todd Lincoln was taken many years after Abraham Lincoln's death.  So who is that standing behind her? 

 

 

I suppose the photographer could have tampered with the picture.  It would have been a lot harder way back then before Photo-Shop was in existence.  I did a recent blog about seeing images of faces in wall paper designs but this picture goes a little further than that.  Part of the image spills over onto Mary Todd's shoulders.

 

OK, I will leave it up to you all.  What do you think?  Is it fake or is it real?  I tend to lean toward the fake side but I better be careful, Old Abe never lied and he just may come visit me to make sure I know it was him in truth. . . So, if you don't hear from me tomorrow, I may still be in shock, or still running , or even worse (grin).  Now don't you have too spooky a day but enjoy the first day of this weekend, you hear?
