The Burning Building Ghost

On November 19, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England burned to the ground.  Tony O'Rahilly took photos of the spectacle with a 200mm telephoto lens from across the street. Amazingly, one of those photos shows what looks like a small girl standing in the doorway of the burning building. Nether O'Rahilly nor any of the other onlookers or firefighters recalled seeing the girl there.

In 1677, historical records note, a fire destroyed many of the town's old timber houses. A young girl named Jane Churm, the legends say, accidentally set fire to a thatched roof with a candle. Many believed her ghost haunted the area and had been seen on a few other occasions.
