There is a picturesque village in Hampshire, England called Fritham that borders on Wiltshire. It's the location of a beautiful lake that was created in the early 19th century when there used to be a small factory operating there, that made smokeless gunpowder. It sounds nice but it's actually haunted. There is a wooden bridge still there today but in 1987 a ghost was photographed right there.
A local hunt was going on and photographs were being taken. In one of the photos, featuring hunters on horseback with their hounds crossing the bridge, is an eerie pale figure of a girl stood nearby. Those present couldn't remember seeing her at the time. The owner of the picture sent it to experts and soon the media picked up on it. The picture of the ghost girl became famous.

| Cropped photo of the mysterious girl |
In the picture there is clearly a pale apparition of a girl wearing old fashioned clothes. There were no special add on features, double exposure or photoshopping, since this was back in 1987 Some people think the spirit is holding a "camera" but to me that looks as if she's carrying a doll. Judging by her small frame in comparison to the hunters, she's probably a child or a very petite woman.
In an earlier photograph taken moments before, it shows the hunters approaching the bridge while the ghost girl isn't there. However, the dogs are in the place where the girl would later stand. Perhaps the spirit is a daughter of someone who used to work in the Victorian factory, or who had drowned in the pond. It's certainly possible that the girl might even be a spirit of a girl who lived further back in time. I hope this young spirit has found peace.
