Ghostbusters Capture Spooky Image In Ruins Of Queen Isabella’s Castle
“There is a clear figure that, from the clothing and the shoulder pads, looks like someone wearing medieval dress.”

Ghost hunters at a 12th-century English castle snapped a photo of a milky white image of a woman in a dress and, a year later, it’s scaring up a lot of interest in British tabloids.
Of course, something that looks like a ghost could be a lot of things — a hoax, a trick of shadows or some other anomaly, and that’s sparking a good deal of conversation.
The fact that this was taken in a spot with a beguiling history makes it so much more interesting, especially for people who believe in ghosts.
In April 2015, the Essex Ghost Hunting Team visited Castle Rising, a famous fortress in Norfolk, England. It was once the royal residence of Queen Isabella, the wife of Edward II, who was the king of England during the 1300s.
It was there they snapped this strange picture. The Daily Mail asks if this is “the ghost of the she-wolf of France,” as Isabella was once nicknamed. The Sun and The Mirror chime in similarly. But even the ghostbusters who took the picture aren’t quite sure what caused the anomaly.
The photo had lived on the team’s site for more than a year before it began making the rounds.
The Essex Ghost Hunting Team was looking into longstanding rumors that Isabella’s alleged ghost haunts upper portions of the castle.
To get a real sense of what Castle Rising looks like from inside and out, check out the following video:
“I was in the White Room, which is a lovely room thought to be where she spent a lot of her time sewing and so on,” team leader Andy Radley said, according to The Sun. “There were around seven of us in the room at the time. My friend turned to me and whispered, ‘Can you hear anything?’ So, I listened carefully and it sounded just like the sound of a long dress swishing over the stones coming up the stairway outside.”
Radley decided to snap a picture of the room.
The ghost hunters use a full-spectrum camera that allows them to get better image results, like those obtained with night vision optics technology.
Here is the original full-spectrum pictured captured by Radley.

“When I looked at it on the small lens, I didn’t initially think much of it. It was definitely interesting and I showed everyone, but it wasn’t until later when we looked at the picture on a computer that I realized just what I had caught on camera,” Radley said, in The Sun report.
“There is a clear figure that, from the clothing and the shoulder pads, looks like someone wearing medieval dress. They even look to have something on their head, like a queen might wear.”
