1891 Apparition in Chair

This famous ghost photograph was taken in 1891 by Sybell Corbett at
Combermere Abbey in Cheshire, England. It is believed to be of Lord
Combermere, who apparently returned to visit his library. The camera was set up in the library and left to record the area for about an hour. Older cameras took a while to record an image. When the photograph was developed, this image of a man appeared in the photo. Very few people were in the house when the picture was captured, as the Lord himself was being buried during this time. Had anyone entered the room and sat in the chair for a few minutes, an image like this would have been recorded. The family’s butler insisted that no one had entered the room.
