Description: Sefton Church is an ancient structure (started in the 12th century
and finished in the early 16th century) in Merseyside, England, just
north of Liverpool. This particular photograph was taken inside the
church in September, 1999. According to Brad Steigers Real Ghosts,
Restless Spirits and Haunted Places, where this photo was found,
there was only one other photographer in the church beside the
person who took this picture. Neither of them recalled seeing the
ghost or any flesh-and-blood person standing there who could account
for this image. Because the figure is all in black, it has been
theorized that the apparition could be that of a church minister.
Reader Mark Tomlinson reports that a pub next door to the church,
called the Punch Bowl, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a man
in blue nautical garb, which has been reported there for many years.
