Wonders about image of woman in window Click on headline for complete letter and response Comments re photo 55647 Poison Ivy along the Theatre Walk or something benign Linda Lewis writes: Who is that in the window? Is it someone in the building or is it someone's reflection? It looks like a lady wearing a gardening hat sitting in a chair holding a bunch of twigs or branches. Was she really there, or is was it just shadows? - Linda LewisThanks, Linda Lewis There was no one in the building and nobody in a gardening hat, to my knowledge. But I can make out the image you describe - the hat is under the reflected "E" - from the Moore's sign. I think there's a physical explanation for the image. And I think it might be a simpler explanation if one visits, and examines what could be reflected or on the wall, to create an image of a person. If you do visit, and have an idea, I hope you'll share it. For the record, I'm not so fascinated with apparitions as I am with the alter world reflected in the old glass windows downtown. It's such a kaleidoscopic museum of fleeting, mostly ephemeral art, and much more interesting than ghosts or even fireballs crossing roadways out of nowhere, as one will occasionally hear. There may be others, particularly those convinced of the Midnight Ghost at the Historic Courthouse, will probably think otherwise. That danged Midnight Ghost, according to witnesses, walks around the old courtroom, and sometimes goes in and out of the Greensburg Street Door. Until I hear it from at least two experts in history/and or the supernatural: JIM, Mike Watson, or Charles Grimsley, I'm not ready to begin to accept the presence of a ghost in the courthouse. But the people who related story are people I trust. Just wonder if what they heard wasn't just caused by temperature changes in an old building. There are always imaginings at night in old peoples, especially when there are only one or two people present. I can remember working late in an old church building and hearing things in the night. It wasn't hard to imagine 10,000 repentant souls moving toward the altar in the sanctuary at 10pmCT - it always seemed to happen around that time. I chalked it up to the prevailing winds, the creaky frame structure, and other known physical causes, not ghosts. It was a bit creepy, just the same. - EW This story was posted on 2014-07-01 05:13:00
