In this day and age, the majority of us are more than comfortable spending time in front of a lens…with our camera rolls shamelessly featuring countless selfies, snapshots of our beloved pets and what we ate for breakfast three months ago.
The wonderful thing about photographs is that they have the ability to keep a cherished moment alive forever -but sometimes, things don’t always go to plan…
Since the invention of photography, there have been plenty of pictures that no matter how hard we try, we just cannot explain.
From bewildering creatures and visits from beyond the grave, to time-travellers and unidentified flying objects – we’ve got it all right here.
Consider this your warning: these spine chilling photographs might just keep you up at night…
1 In 3 Brits Believe In Ghosts…
Since 34% of the British population believes in ghosts, we thought we’d begin our list with some paranormal pictures…
1. Photo-bombed By A Ghost!

When the photo developed, the family were understandably freaked out by this mystery man – but when it was showed to the woman, she claimed it was her husband…who had died 13 years prior!
2. Wem Ghost, Shropshire…
On November 19, 1995, photographer Tony O’Rahilly snapped this eerie picture while Wem Town Hall, Shropshire was burning.

It wasn’t until later that the ghostly girl in the doorway was noticed. It is widely believed that the apparition could be the spirit of Jane Churm: a young girl who died in another fire in the town hall in 1677.
3. Hanging With A Ghost…
When the Cooper’s moved into their new home in Texas, the last thing they ever expected was a body hanging from the ceiling as they took a family photo. Creepy, right?
