Castle Garden Ghost

2 years ago during the summer holidays in August me, dad, his mate and his daughter went on a ghost walk where a guide takes you to places where true ghost stories have taken place. My dad brought his camera to take some photos of the tour. While we were sitting in the castle gardens listening to one of the ghost stories, my dad took some photos of the castle and the garden around it. It was dark and my dad did not have the flash on so the photos were very slightly blured. Next morning I looked at the photos on my laptop. I got up to the photo of the castle gardens when something caught my eye. On the grassy slopes below the castle, at the base of the right-hand side tree and half hidden behind a bush there is a grey oblong shape that appeared to look like a person. I zoomed in and I saw a face of an old man and another face of a little girl. I thought thats odd, because there was no person standing on the slope and the rest of photo is slightly blured, but the grey shape was not and the faces were perfectly detailed. It then occured to me that I have photographed a real ghost. My dad does not believe in ghosts and he found it strange. He emailed it to his mate and he and his daughter found it strange as well, even his wife who is a photo expert. It boggled our minds for a bit. Dad believes it is the ghost of Robert Kett who starved to death in his cell nearby, because he started a rebellion centeries ago. In the 1980s a group of workers spotted him sitting on the grassy slopes below the castle. It is really bizzare to think it is actually the ghost of Robert Kett.
