The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall

This is one of the most famous ghost photos ever taken. Taken in 1936, it shows the "Brown Lady" ghost at Raynham Hall in England. As the story goes, two photographers from Country Life magazine were capturing the old Hall when one of the men came upon the ghost. A photograph was quickly taken seconds before the figure disappeared. When developed, it showed a faint figure gliding down a staircase.
