Just as the Cleveland Museum of Art was preparing for the special Monet exhibit Painting The Modern Garden: From Monet to Matisse, the museum’s director of architecture and design snapped this spooky photo of a mysterious figure looking down on the gallery. The “ghost” had an uncanny resemblance to the French Impressionist painter himself, and Kelly Notaro, communications associate for the museum told TODAY that “this snapshot taken by a staff member is not retouched or photoshopped, and we’ve heard from others that they’ve seen the man.” Talk about a unique way to launch an exhibit.
When Anastassia was flipping through an old family album, she stumbled across a photo of herself playing with her pet birds when she was four years old. In the background was another girl holding what looks to be a stuffed animal. But the crazy part is, Anastassia says there was no other little girl there when the picture was taken—well, not living at least. Her parents also confirmed that they had never seen that child before. And as if this story wasn’t creepy enough already, Anastassia allegedly was later told by a psychic, without being prompted, that the “spirit” of a young girl was following her.
Grey Lady, a servant to four Tudor monarchs at London’s Hampton Court, has been dead for over 450 years. Still, many claims that the Hampton Court grounds are haunted by her spirit, including 12-year-old Holly Hampsheir, who took this photo of her cousin Brooke McGee while touring the palace. The tall figure looking over Brooke’s shoulder in the middle of the room, they say, is Grey Lady herself. Sure, it could’ve been Photoshop, but, regardless, we’re officially creeped out by this picture, aren’t you?
Speaking of ghosts and tourist attractions, another haunted “spirit” of a woman was spotted in an Acadian Village cabin in Louisiana earlier this year. We’re not really sure what the backstory is on this one, but we do know that the attraction is dedicated to Cajun history in the 1800s. So, based on that, we’re guessing the “ghost” might’ve been a basket weaver or corn shucker back in the day.
