Little John's Grave (with Ghostly figure)

So mum was cleaning out her photo box last night, and she found this photo she took a long time before digital, this is scanned in so it is not a perfect copy of the photo. HERE IS THE STORY BEHIND IT...
My sister-in-law and brother were ge...tting married at the Church of Hathersage on 31/05/1997, this is where Little John's Grave is said to be. (you know... Little John from Robin Hood...) So anyway my parents and I were walking around taking photos the day before their wedding. We found little John's Grave and I took about 3 or 4 pictures of it. Although not visible to me when taking the photos, when I got my photos back 2 weeks later (before the digital age...35mm) one of the photos I took of Little Johns grave has a large 'ghostly' shape with a smaller one next to it. I looked at the negative and sure as anything there it was on the negative. I tried to think of anything else it could be but there was no sun glare that could have caused this, no-one was smoking for smoke to have drifted across the lens, I thought maybe it was the 1st picture on the roll as sometimes the negative has a problem on first photos, but it was not, it was the second picture I took, and neither of the negative frames either side of this one seem to have a problem with them. I was baffled. I still have no explanation for this but will always hold onto this photo and it's negative. I have never had proof of any ghostly beings, however this has always made me wonder. and before anyone says I have photoshoped it, I PROMISE THERE IS NO PHOTOSHOPPING, I HAVE THE NEGATIVE but cant scan that in.See more
