Could this be a picture of a spirit dwelling in the underground tunnels of Manchester’s Great Northern Goods Warehouse? Or an ordinary macro picture of plain old dust? According to the article, someone thinks that:

” It shows an arm, a back, the nape of a neck. It could be a coincidence of dust, a flash from some other snapper on the tour affecting the image caught here.”

Which I agree 100% with the latter. Flash and dust….

Here is a macro photo of dust as a reference from Xenomorphic:

“Have you seen this?” said Confidential reader Aine Dowling.
She’d just been on our tunnel tour under the Great Northern Goods Warehouse. She’d taken a picture and found a ghost.

“This picture looks as close to the real deal of a spook caught on camera – whether it’s Cedric or not – as any in Manchester’s histor”

Or at least something very, very odd.
People who are open to the supernatural see ghosts everywhere. For instance a speck of dust as it moves on an air current and caught in a camera flash becomes an ‘orb’: a ball of otherworldly energy left by the souls of the departed.
Really? Orbs we reckon are a bit rubbish.
Aine’s picture shows much more than this.
It shows an arm, a back, the nape of a neck. It could be a coincidence of dust, a flash from some other snapper on the tour affecting the image caught here.
Could be.
Or maybe it’s a ghost captured on camera: a digital projection from over there to over here.
And there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
A couple of years ago Confidential was down in the tunnels with a local psychic society. The tunnels follow the drained Manchester and Salford Junction Canal and the group were in the same place as shown on Aine’s picture.
Confidential editor and guide, Jonathan Schofield, asked sceptically, “Are you getting anything?”
“Oh yes,” came the reply, “there’s a man down here from around a hundred years ago, he’s with us now. Maybe he drowned in the canal. He’s called Cedric and he likes the company we provide.”

We told the lads at Great Northern security about the picture of the ‘ghost’. They told us how another set of psychics down there had detected in that same area a ‘vortex between the living and the dead’, in other words some type of supernatural door. That sounds insane, but we’ll pursue the group and chase down the story.
Still wow.
This picture looks as close to the real deal of a spook caught on camera – whether it’s Cedric or not – as any in Manchester’s history.
