Thanks to Steve Patton for sending us this photo, which was taken by his dad back in the Eighties at Ironbridge Gorge, a valley along the River Severn famed as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and with the world's first ever cast iron bridge. Steve writes:
I was chatting to my Dad a while ago about the talk at the Unconvention '08 regarding ghost photography, and he said that he had a ghost photo which he took at Ironbridge Gorge. It was taken in the late 80s I think, and he says it's legit, but didn't do anything with it because of the job he was in at the time. Having seen the photo, I remember going there, but don't remember the scene as I was very young at the time.
Attached is the picture, as I thought it might be something FT would be interested in. My dad says there was definitely no third person in the pic when he took it, and I'd have thought other parts would be blurred if the lens had been left open to cause a blur effect.
After much debate here in FT Towers we're agreed that this looks like a foundry, and that the two men seem to be pouring a hot metal mould of some kind, but beyond that we are stumped. Phantom foundry worker or figment of Steve's dad's camera's imagination? Let us know via the comments section below.
If you've got a photo of a ghost, or Bigfoot, or a UFO, or of anything else strange, puzzling and mysterious, send it to us! Who knows, it could be the proof we've all been waiting for...
