Seems some tourists visiting Oxford England got a shock when this alleged ghost appeared in a snapped picture during the popular Bill Spectre’s Ghost Tour. Sue Tomlinson who was visiting her sister in law was the shutter bug who took the picture.

HERETIC bishops have been burned at the stake and soldiers shot down during the English Civil War so it’s not surprising Oxford is regarded as one of the most haunted cities in England.

But this spooky spectre took one tourist by surprise when it appeared in her photograph.

The grainy grey image appears to show a woman in historical dress walking along New College Lane in Oxford.

Sue Tomlinson, 50, was visiting the city with her sister-in-law Tina Bennett, 52, from Shropshire earlier this month.

They decided to brave Bill Spectre’s Ghost Tour to discover more about the city’s past and the lamppost caught Mrs Tomlinson’s eye.

She said: “I thought it looked so beautiful glowing with All Soul’s College in the background I had to take a photo.

“When I first saw it I thought it looked strange and wanted to get home and put it on the computer so I could see it bigger.

“I don’t know if it’s someone walking past – I didn’t notice because I was concentrating on taking the photo – or if it’s something wrong with my camera, but all my other pictures are fine.

“I don’t believe in ghosts – if someone else had taken the photo I would say someone had fixed it.

“It looks like someone carrying a bag or a basket and wearing a dress from olden times.”

Bill ‘Spectre’ Ritchie said: “I can guarantee I had nothing to do with this photo, she sent it to me out of the blue in an email.

“Interestingly, it was on that same lane, New College Lane, that a couple of years ago a Russian girl sent a similar slightly blurry photo.

“An Australian woman who claimed to be sensitive to the spirit world was on the ghost trail not long ago, and claimed that New College Lane was the most haunted place she had ever been.

“Another local woman said that at 2am last Christmas morning, she was walking along Holywell Street, which runs parallel to New College Lane, when she heard the sound of horses hooves echoing along the silent streets of New College Lane.

“You can imagine her reaction when I told her the lane was indeed haunted by the ghosts of Royalist Cavalrymen who would assemble there before battle.”

I’d assume it’s just someone walking by but it seems a bit faint for that. Ms. Tomlinson says that it looks to her like someone in a dress from “olden times” whenever those were. Of course, depending on the camera, the lighting, etc… and that she admits to not paying enough attention to realize if someone was walking by at the time this may well be just another tourist.

I’ll leave it up to our readers to scrutinize.
