Lord Combermere must have loved his chair
After Mumler and Hope, a lot of others tried to explore this side of spirit photography, either because they were curious about the topic or wanted to see with their own eyes that these things are real. One of the best-known ghost images was captured by Sybell Corbet in 1891. The tiny outline of a man’s head, collar, and right arm was visible in a picture she shot of the reading room at Combermere Abbey in Cheshire, England. The person was thought to be Lord Combermere’s ghost, who had recently passed away and was being laid to rest at the time this picture was taken.
I think that this picture is trying to tell us something. Maybe this was his way of saying goodbye to this world and his beloved reading room. After all, it is never easy to know that you will never be back to a certain place that you used to love.

At age 9, I was in a coma for weeks due to some drama, and began hearing voices comforting me. When I woke up I began seeing ghosts standing by my bed at night. I think because it was no one I knew that had died, they th used me to come thru because I had been between life and death. That’s why, I reasoned, they never tried to touch or speak to me, and they just looked confused, like they didn’t know where they were and had probably just died. I’ve seen women, children, men (and even some evil looking ones that scared the heck out of me). I’m in my 70’s now and have long accepted that they use me as a bridge, and mean me no hard!
I believe in ghosts. Nothing spooky about them. They’re still between and need the transition necessary to their forever sleep Some who die have not completed their life cycle for whatever purpose and so their rest is not final until someone knows how to help them to their final sleep.
