Some people connected this apparition with the great fire that destroyed the old timber houses of the town in 1677. This was, according to legend, caused by a young girl's carelessness with a candle. After the fire, the town was rebuilt in brick, but had lost much of its population and importance. There is information about Wem Ghost here
This is the ghost that appeared at the fire in Wem, photographed by Tony O'Rahilly. There is a lot of controversy with this photo. As you may have read on the site Some people feel it is just wood burning and others feel it is a ghost of the girl that started the fire. In either case this is an extraordinary photograph in that is clearly shows a face in the fire. As you can see below.
When you look at this photo it kind of runs chills up your back. This is a strange photo in that only this one camera caught this picture the others did not.
What do you think this is?
