Staff at the palace heard an alarm go off which told them a fire door had been opened on the grounds. When they got to the door it was closed, and this puzzled them. They reviewed the tapes to make sure. On watching the tape, the saw the door open rapidly but no one standing at the doorway. Suddenly the figure in the picture appeared and slammed the door shut.
It was found out that the same thing happened the day before and after the figure was captured on film. However on those occasions there was no figure present. That part of the palace is not used in the tours, nor was any staff officially in that area. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> To expand on that expansion, it has apparantly been going on for some time.

Apparantly, the camera system seemed to see the doors blow open, then bang back shut (you know, as if they'd been blown open and bounce off the walls and shut).
Each time they went down there, the door was shut and no one was there. So one night when it happened they stayed still and watched the CCTV (they figured, they close anyway, so what's the point?) and saw the "ghost". <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I'm drunk and this is totaly unrelated but why the hell have you got some **** crappy reference to the British 'leaving dunkirk and invading england' as a sig?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> do you think that's amusing in some way stickman?

While I don't believe in ghosts as they are commonly represented (supernatural remnants of the living), they are one of the universes great misteries. I think alot of ghost stories are like Flying Saucer stories, they can be attributed to known scientific phenomina or humans doing silly things. However, there are some that simply escape explanation, even as mass hallucination.
What I find interesting is that when I hear American ghost stories, they often involve the ghosts being evil and/or destructive. However, ghost stories from accrossed the pond tend to involve rather harmless ghosts, often ones that appear to play jokes on the living. Its also interesting that in some places the resident host is so active that people can barely be bothered to note its existance. One story I heard involved a castle, or something, that had been turned into a hotel, or something, and had a ghost dog (a King Charles Spaniel) that would run up and down the main starway. A woman onced asked the front desk clerk jokingly if the castle was haunted, to which the clerk replied something along the lines of "Not really, theres just the ghost dog that runs up and down the stairs", which really freaked the woman out because it had just ran past her on the stairs.
I don't really believe in any superstition. To me, ghost/ufo stories are just the results of an imagination gone bad. Think of it this way: UFO reports didn't become popular until some pilot reports some mysterious flying thing (which could've been some wierd environmental phenomenone (sp), and all of a sudden everyone and their mother are making UFO stories up. Being the imaginative and curious creatures we are, we tend to exaggerate the simplest things (such as a pilot doing too much crack cocaine) into something we want to believe, i.e. aliens ships from another planet.
Sorry if I sound pessimistic, this is just how I see it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Indeed. We all remember the columbia reckage incident don't we? A basket ball with "NASA" written on it becomes debris, a perfectly normal weather ballon becomes a UFO, your neighbor's TV becomes a poltergeist, all the same thing really. But there are incidents that are far more legitimate, there just fewer and farther between.
Having no strong opinion on the subject in any way, I'd just like to note that progress never came from those who were quick to discard something as impossible or superstitious.

Is it that you don't believe alien ships have visited Earth or that in this whole universe we are the only intelligent life?
I can't believe we are all alone in the universe (and to quote Jodie Foster in Contact "what a waste of space") when there are billions of planets. Neither can I believe that we are the most intelligent species when we've completed tasks in our distant past that we are unable to complete today (the Pyramids for example - and, no, I'm not living in Star Gate world *grin*). We must have had help from somewhere.
Ghosts are another story and, quite often, I believe folk to confuse hauntings and poltergeist activity far too often. To me, ghosts aren't souls that wander around. They are recordings of individuals, fragments of their lives that the surrounding area has absorbed and it takes the right "brain waves" from the living to play the recordings (which would explain why some folk see them and others don't).
Hmm...it could have been some guy in a costume doing it, or it could be real. Maybe hes one of those ghosts who just does one task - what he did at the palace before he died.
Ah yes, the famous open and close the doors randomly postition.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
