The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall (1936) Captured by Country Life photographers Captain Hubert Provand and Indre Shira this image shows a robed figure descending stairs in Norfolk’s Raynham Hall. The woman is believed to be Lady Dorothy Walpole hidden in the house after an illicit affair. The photo gained fame for its clarity and timing—no figures were seen during the shoot. Experts later confirmed no double exposure or darkroom manipulation. Skeptics suggest a stagehand in costume but the spontaneous nature and lack of prior staging make fraud unlikely. It remains one of the most credible ghost photos ever taken.
