Is this the face of a ghostly bygone railway worker or just a reflection...
The photo below was sent to us by John Philps who was visiting his daugher in Heap Bridge, Bury. John says his photo, snapped around Christmas 2007 of the East Lancashire Railway, Bolton Street Train Station waiting room may show the ghostly image of a sleeping railway worker. At the time he was photographing his grandson who can been seen peeping through the back window of the waiting room.
"Tom was peeping and waving at me through the waiting room window and I clicked a few shots off. I am almost sure there was only one lady in the waiting room at the time. It wasn't till the Monday after Christmas I captured my photographs to Joyce's computer and noticed the ghost face. It gave my goospimples at the time and still does." Has anyone else ever witnessed ghostly goings on at Bolton Street Station? Is this an overall clad bygone Bury phantom or just a ghastly reflection? What do you think? We would love to hear from you...

written by Simon Barret , March 24, 2008 Interesting photograph. A little sceptical as I'm local and not heard of any stories from aound the area. At this resolution I couldn't make out it if is a fake. Could be a double exposure? report abuse

written by Tubby , March 25, 2008 I've heard a few stories of hauntings around the track side. It looks like you have captured something I can't see how it could be a double exposure if it where a digital camera. Spooked us out. Tubby report abuse

written by Hannah Biggin , March 28, 2008 My mum mailed me this at work today and I've got to say it is very scary. I think I may have seen this before in a newspaper but on screen it looks a lot clearer. Looks like he is dressed in olden day clothing. Is he asleep? Ooh gives me the creeps.

 written by Dick Kennedy , April 01, 2008 The kid is clearly outside the waiting room, on the far side, peeking through a window. The bloke is equally clearly inside the waiting room. His face is darker, less well lit, because he's *indoors*, not because he's a ghost. No mystery there... report abuse

written by Tony Burgess , April 01, 2008 Sure the kid is on the outside peeping in. And the figure is *indoors* inside the waiting room. No-one is denying that. On close inspection the figure is slightly transparent and blurred. The photgrapher states there was no-one else in the waiting room at the time. If you look to the right of the figure you can see what looks to be the clear figure of the lady, the only person stated there at the time. I'm a pro-photogrpaher and a wizz at editing and I can't see any evidence of tampering. Looks all clear to me. It's upto you what you think. A paranormal forum running a story on this are getting reports from others of activity in this very area. I would say a mystery indeed... report abuse

written by S Hodgekiss , April 14, 2008 I now live in Dorset but orignally came from Bury. My friend has just printed and posted me this page and I have rushed to the library to see it in person. An extremely haunting and disturbing picture to me. My reason for saying this is my sister whom has now sadly deceased told me a story of her younger years. She was courting a young man who helped with baggage on the trains at this very station. One night, during a dark winters evening he passed the waiting room and saw a man seated inside on the bench. The door was cracked open ever so slightly. Thinking the man would be cold, he promptly walked over to the door to close it. Looking through the glass he saw more clearly a man dressed in overall who was in a deep slumber. As he went to take hold of the handle there was a very sharp, cold breeze and the door suddenly slammed shut. The suprised caused him to jump and blink. On opening his eyes he saw the man had dissapeared. The young man felt very frightened that night and slept with a candle lit in his room. The very next day he told the story to the guardsman who looked shocked. The guardsman told him the figure he saw was the ghost of Billy The Guard. Billy had been seen several times by passengers and drivers soundly asleep in the waiting room. I never found out anything else out about Billy or indeed, why he resides in the waiting room. Maybe somehome who was told the same story knows why? report abuse

 written by Martin McDermott , July 29, 2008 Christmas 2007. We took our grandaughter on the Santa Special. I have a decent digital camera which, are necessary to capture orbs or they are sometimes called anomolies (Not sure about the spelling) These appear as small light orbs. When I got home and downloaded them onto my computer, There were plenty of orbs upstairs and sure enough, they followed us right down to the platform (as if to escort us) but, non on the platform. Some people will argure that it is the fairy lights reflecting but, when I got home, I switched on our lights which were pretty similar but I got no orbs. I had also taken plenty of pics and there were many second shots of the same area or place where the orbs had moved. If there are spirits at Bolton Street, I can olny imagine that they too are enjoying the christmas occassion as well. I hope they enjoy it as much as we did. report abuse

 written by ugg store , December 29, 2009 Good editorial. IRecently however cheap ugg boots, it's become clear that many pro football players have suffered and eventuall died from complications related brain injuries. This was being kept from the public and presumably from players. Players should know first hand what their sport can do to them.Since that glad is the master control for all your glandsdiscount ugg boots, a person can have some really weird hormonal balances, not just hgh, but ANY hormone. So it's all a sticky wicket in that HGH testing isn't a test to detect cheaters that same way polygraphs don't detect lies. report abuse

 written by basketball shoes , December 29, 2009 I received my ballot for the 2000 all-decade team from the Pro Football Hall of Fame last weekend When I’m asked to select any sort of all-star team,ugg outlet I prefer 22 players who can actually line up and play a game at their positions of choice. So I always pick weak- and strong-side ends, weak- and strong-side outside linebackers and free and strong safeties on defense. ugg stores I also pick a right and left offensive tackle on offense plus a halfback and a fullback. report abuse
