The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. This famous photograph was taken in 1936 by a Captain Provand for the magazine Country Life. He was also accompanied by Indre Shira who reportedly saw the ghost and told Provand to photograph it. The Brown Lady is known for being the most reliably photographed ghost in history! Daniel Cohen, in the Encyclopedia of Ghosts, makes the point that this picture could have been faked easily, it is still generally regarded real.
Very little is known about the Brown Lady. The only thing that is certain is that she was somehow connected with Raynham Hall, thus, this is the site of her haunting.
The first reported sighting of the Brown Lady was in 1835 by a house guest named Colonel Loftus, who actually saw her twice. His description was that she wore a long, brown, satin cape or dress and had nothing more than empty, black sockets for eyes.
