EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Ghostly Encounter on the Tulip Staircase of the Queens House, Greenwich, London, 19 June 1966 2. Caption: In this intriguing photograph, taken on the Tulip Staircase of the Queens House in Greenwich, London, on 19 June 1966, an enigmatic figure appears to ascend the historic staircase, shrouded in mystery and the ethereal. The Reverend and Mrs. Hardy, a Canadian couple, were the unassuming visitors who captured this unusual image during the normal opening hours of the Museum. The Queens House, a renowned architectural masterpiece and a significant part of London's rich history, has long been associated with ghostly tales and paranormal activity. The Tulip Staircase, in particular, is said to be the site of numerous spectral sightings. On this fateful day in 1966, as the Hardys made their way up the grand staircase, their camera captured an image that defied explanation. The figure, dressed in a cloak and with its face obscured by a shroud, seems to climb the staircase, its hands reaching out towards the ornate railing. The lights flicker and cast an eerie glow over the scene, adding to the sense of the uncanny and the supernatural. The photograph, which has since become one of the most famous and debated images in the annals of paranormal phenomena, has left many wondering about the identity and origin of the figure. Was it a mere illusion, a product of post-development manipulation, or an authentic capture of a ghostly presence? The enigma of the Tulip Staircase and its ghostly inhabitant continues to captivate and unsettle visitors to this day. This digitally restored version of image 10003710, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the bizarre and unexplained world of the paranormal, leaving us with more questions than answers. The figure on the Tulip Staircase remains an enduring mystery, a testament to the power of the photographic medium to capture the unknown and the unexplained.
