I like the title "Ghostly Boy." Sounds like some kind of underground rock band. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the Chino Hills Pub for the very first time....GHOSTLY BOY!" And then crickets, followed by an awkward trio of 20 something year olds shambling on stage, fidgeting with their instruments and nervously looking at each other as they prepare to make rock history. And I've gone completely off track.
The image above was photographed by Leonard Low, author of the book "There Are Such Things," while visiting the Whittington Hospital in London. Seen below it seems like quite the charming place.
So the story goes that the Whittington Hospital used to deal with lepers and small pox victims so, needless to say, they had many untimely deaths in the building. This prompted the nurses to be seriously freaked out about the lower parts of the hospital which have apparently been untouched. So Low went down into the lower regions (obviously a sucker for a nurse, can't blame him) and tried to investigate it.
When he got there he came across a light floating at the end of a long corridor. According to him, the light started moving towards him so he began snapping pictures of it. What resulted was the picture seen above with the image of a young child's face.
What do you think? Did Low capture the image of some poor child who died a very sad death or is it merely a trick of light and dust? You be the judge!
