Paranormal Globe Our Paranormal World
For the first time in history, it’s believed that a photograph of the famous Irish ghostly apparition the Grey Lady has been captured at the Dark Hedges.
In Stranocum, County Antrim, a location made famous in the HBO series “Game of Thrones,” there has long been a legend of the ghostly Grey Lady but she has never before been captured on camera.
Gordon Watson, a photographer, from Ballycastle, got quite a shock when he processed his film from the day’s shooting in 2015 and spotted the wispy shape at the center of the photo.
Kevin McAuley, another well-known local photographer examined the photo and insists that there’s no way it has been digitally enhanced. He told the Ballymoney Times, “It looks like a dress going towards the shape of a figure and it’s at this end of the trees where the Grey Lady has been seen by a variety of people over the years.
These opposing rows of beech trees were planted to create an impressive lead up to an estate in Northern Ireland. As they matured they began to bend over the road, and eventually formed a shadowy tunnel that’s become known as “Dark Hedges.” They even have their own ghost story. pic.twitter.com/zMy9WbyVHR

“This is the only known version ever to have been recorded in any fashion.”
The Grey Lady is said to haunt the spooky road surrounded by ancient beech trees. Legend has it that she glides along the road and vanishes as she passes the last beech tree.
Some believe the ghost to be that of a maid from a nearby house who died in mysterious circumstances hundreds of years ago. Others think she is a lost spirit from an abandoned graveyard, in the fields nearby.
The Dark Hedges is one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland. The avenue was planted two hundred years ago to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to the Georgian mansion, Gracehill House. Recently it has become even more popular as it was featured in the smash hit show “Game of Thrones” representing the King’s Road.
