Subject: Fw: Read before u view the picture - Believe it or not The guy in the photo went to the Sundarbans with his friends and he asked 1 of his friends to take his picture in that very place. While his friend was taking the picture he screamed and fainted, 2 days later he died in the medical college. Doctors said he died because of heart attack. When the photos were exposed, in the last photo there was a lady standing right beside him though friends claim that he was standing alone. Many people said it is a rumor and the picture is the result of the blessings of latest technology. However, the photo itself is very scary and I'm sure you'll also feel the same way I've felt. A navy officer sent this letter to 13 people and he was promoted! A business man received this letter and threw it away ..not believing in it.. and he lost everything he had within 13 days.. It reached a labourer and he distributed it to 13 people.. he was promoted and all his problems were solved within 13 days.. So you must send this e mail to 13 people for something good to happen to you so people.. get sending !! :) don't be lazy.. P/S : Do not send back to the person who send this to you!!!

Fact or Fiction?: Fiction, obviously. Look at the photo, you can see where it was several images cut and pasted together. However, someone did trick a newspaper to print the story and it did cause quite a scare. Reported in the Thanthi newspaper in the southern city of Tiruchi in Ananova, India the story had residents of the area so frightened, they made their children stay out of the region where the incident supposedly took place and even made their kids stay home from school because it was reported that the ghost was following young boys. Local police had to create a public awareness campaign to expose the hoax and get the children back to classes.

I don't know about you, but I hate chain e-mails. Some are funny but most are a waste of download time. I actually received this e-mail a few years ago and did find it amusing, only because I like Halloween-y type stuff. The letter that I received with the photo said the photo was taken on Halloween night, but the edited version presented here is the most circulated. The story is very reminiscent of the film, The Ring and I am told that the ghost in the photo does look a lot like the ghost in the original forgien version of The Ring. And this isn't the first time that this fair ghost has been chain mailed either. A few years earlier she appeared in a different photo with a different story, I never received this e-mail myself:

The photo you see before you was taken after World War II by a British photographer in an old Malayan cemetery. When he snapped the picture, he didn't notice anything out of the usual, but when he got the photo developed-there was the Malayan girl staring back at him. Starting the night he first saw the picture, he began having horrible nightmares in which the girl would visit him. The photographer learned that the girl had been raped and brutally murdered by a Japanese soldier in WWII. She's desperately seeking that man. Now that you've seen the photo you will be haunted by the same dreams unless you forward this message to 50 people.
