EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken on a Sunday afternoon in March 1986, 12-year-old Andrew Burlington stands inside his family home, holding up an image that would soon baffle and intrigue the world. The photograph, taken just two years prior, shows a ghostly apparition that has seemingly manifested itself, obscuring the main subject of the image. The ethereal figure, with its nebulous outlines and otherworldly presence, defies explanation. The image, which has been described as "anomalous," "paranormal," and "fortean," was captured in the heart of London during the 1980s, a time when the public's fascination with the unexplained was at an all-time high. The photograph quickly gained notoriety, as people from all walks of life debated its authenticity and meaning. Some saw it as a genuine manifestation of the spirit world, while others dismissed it as a clever hoax. Despite numerous investigations and analyses, the origin of the ghostly apparition in the Burlington photograph remains a mystery. Some theories suggest that it could be the result of a double exposure, a trick of the light, or even a manifestation of the human mind. Others believe that it is the image of a departed loved one, a wraith or phantom, seeking to make contact with the living. Regardless of its origins, the Burlington photograph continues to captivate and intrigue, serving as a reminder of the enduring human fascination with the unexplained and the unknown. The image of the young boy, holding up the strange and eerie photograph, stands as a testament to the power of the unexplained and the mysteries that continue to lurk in the shadows of our world.
