People ask me things all the time. Mostly it's "Why did you just run over me?" or "Don't you think you've had enough to eat?", but sometimes I'm asked about things that go bump in the night.
No, not that. Get your minds out of the gutter. I'm talking matters paranormal here. Specifically, ghosts.
Do I believe in ghosts?
No. Or yes. It's too early to say. Because what I do believe in is evidence.
And there are solid pieces of evidence which appear to support the supposition that deceased persons do indeed make the infrequent visit to this side of the veil. I'd like to discuss just one such piece of evidence now, which is a photograph taken in 1919 that may depict the face of one Freddy Jackson, deceased but notably not absent.
Freddy Jackson was a soldier in the British Royal Air Force in World War I. He served as a mechanic, maintaining combat aircraft aboard the HMS Daedalus.
Freddy didn't die in battle; instead, he had the (rather common) misfortune to walk into a moving airplane propeller. He died, and was buried, and that should have been the end of his tragic if all too common tale.
But on the day Freddy Jackson was laid to rest, his squadron mates assembled for a group photo. No one noticed anything out of the ordinary until after the photograph was presented back to the squadron.
They quickly realized that Freddy Jackson's face is there among them, plain and clear.
The photo is below. Freddy's face has been enlarged; he appears to be peering out from behind one of his fellows. The men of the squadron were adamant that the face is that of Freddy Jackson, deceased, who was being laid to rest when the photo was taken.
I've found nothing to contradict their assertion. And remember, this was 1919. Photoshop was sixty-plus years away. Photography itself was a cumbersome art, and while fakery was indeed being practiced it was usually obvious and often clumsy.
This image is neither.
Is it the face of a dead man, returned to join his squadron for one last time?
I simply don't know. But I find it intriguing. More than intriguing. It may even be suggestive of a phenomena beyond the realm of traditional science.
What do you think? Do you have odd photos or ghost stories of your own? If you do, and you'd like to share them, email me! I love ghost stories, and I won't breathe a word of it here, if you ask that your experiences be kept quiet.
That's all for today. The Secret Writing Project is proceeding nicely. Ask me what that is too, but know that I won't tell!

I believe he returned from his grave to get captured along with his co-workers
