The Spirits of the Sky


Do you remember the Solar Eclipse that we had the other week? March 20th was when we experienced it – I experienced a Total Solar Eclipse here at the Mansion, whilst the rest of the UK was either covered in cloud, or saw only a Partial Eclipse; and other countries probably saw something different as well… Well, I was glancing over the photos I’d taken, and spotted something rather remarkable in a few of them that I hadn’t noticed before… and the more I looked, the more I noticed.

Yes, this is another of those can you see? posts… and I hope you can see what I can here!

Here’s the clearest photo I have:

Looking directly at the Sun – now there’s something you don’t get to say every day (and for any younger readers I mean the Sun in this photograph and not the actual Sun in the sky… that’s just silly!) – does anything else stand out in the picture?

Not even the three shadowy figures looking down from beyond the clouds?

I’ll highlight them, if you can’t see them:

As I was highlighting the three (in red) my attention was drawn to two other faces just below them. The one highlighted in yellow looks like a traditional ghost, and the one highlighted in green looks like a face but in the negative image.

I was using Photoshop Elements to do the highlighting. Photoshop Elements has a little thumbnail image of the layer that’s being worked on (I sound very techy, I know!) and it was when I looked at the thumbnail another face jumped out at me.

Here’s the thumbnail:

And here’s the image highlighted again, with the large smiling face outlined:

This post has other photos taken at the same time… the shadowy shapes aren’t visible in all of them, but they are there in a few.

Can you see any different Spirits of the Sky in today’s photo?

Let me know in the comments!

    I like the three spirits you outlined in red – they look like Casper the Friendly Ghost, Alfred Hitchcock, and Garfield!
