This really creepy photo was taken in the Cathedral of Christ the consoler at Newby Hall, North Yorkshire, England, in 1963.

On the right side is clearly visible a long figure in black monastic robes with a hood with a distorted face-the skull. The Ghost stands next to the altar.

There was much debate at this photo and accusations of forgery, but it did not manage to prove. Moreover, photographing the priest Reverend Kenneth F. Lord.

Original news

The Spectre of Newby Church (or the "Newby Monk") is the name given to an artifact found on a photograph taken in the Church of Christ the Consoler, on the grounds of Newby Hall in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The image was taken in 1963 by the Reverend Kenneth F. Lord. As the artifact appears to resemble a human, much speculation has been had regarding what type of person might be in the image. Most speculation by believers has concluded that it resembles a 16th-century monk, with a white shroud over his face, possibly to mask leprosy or another disfigurement. Others contend that it is an accomplice in a costume.

Initial claims suggested that the figure would measure at 9 feet tall, but its feet are not visible and it could easily be standing on a box, giving the impression of height.

On looking over the image, purported photographic experts[who?] have concluded that the image is not the result of double exposure, although Rick Burden, founder of the Ghost Hunters of Australia website, believes to be "probably fake." It resembles many other double exposure hoaxes.

A special device, which is that the same frame is exposed ("photographed") several times.

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)

Investigation
