The so-called Ghost of the vicar was photographed about Harborrne Cricket Club the club, which he attended very regularly. The Ghost hovered in the air in his usual hat and coat.

Edward Roberts died in 1891. Before his death, he often went to Harborrne Cricket Club located in Birmingham, England. On Saturday, Trevor Townsend , 66-year-old man working as a gardener photographed a rather mysterious figure hovering above the ground. The strange thing is that other people also saw this spirit.

At first Townsend didn't notice this terrible bearded Ghost, but he noticed it when he increased the image obtained in June. He says:

"I retired as a gardener, working full time, but I still regularly go to the club to advise and train new gardeners and other staff. It was late, just the two of us, and I photographed the new groundskeeper, sweeping near the gate. I didn't know how to enlarge the pictures, because it was a new phone. When I watched them last week, I accidentally blew up the picture.

"After studying an old book of Harborne, I found that it could be a vicar with a big white beard. "

Original news

Le prétendu fantôme d’un vicaire passionné de cricket a été photographié à proximité de l’ancien club qu’il fréquentait très régulièrement. Ce revenant flottait dans les airs en portant son habituel chapeau et son manteau …

Le révérend Edward Roberts est décédé en 1891. Jusqu’à sa mort, il se rendait souvent dans au Harborrne Cricket Club, situé à Birmingham, en Angleterre. Un samedi, Trevor Townsend, un homme âgé de 66 ans, qui est employé en tant que jardinier, a photographié une figure plutôt mystérieuse qui planait au-dessus du sol. Le plus étrange, c’est que d’autres personnes ont également vu cet esprit de l’au-delà.

Dans un premier temps, Townsend n'a pas remarqué ce terrifiant spectre barbu. Mais quand il a zoomé sur une image, prise au mois de Juin, le révérend Roberts la constaté. Il raconte :

« J'ai pris ma retraite de jardinier à temps plein, mais je vais encore régulièrement au club pour conseiller et former les nouveaux jardiniers et autres employés. »

« C'était en fin de matinée et il y avait seulement deux d'entre nous à cet endroit et j’ai pris une photo du nouveau jardinier qui balayait le guichet. »

« Je ne savais pas comment zoomer sur les photos parce que c'était un nouveau téléphone. Quand je les ai regardées la semaine dernière, j'ai accidentellement zoomé sur celle-ci. »

« J'ai zoomé sur le jardinier et j’ai regardé autour de l'image et j’ai vu cette figure. »

« Après avoir fait des recherches dans un vieux livre sur Harborne, j’ai découvert qu’il pouvait s’agir d’un vicaire qui portait une grande barbe blanche. »

« On sait que de son vivant il venait regarder les matchs et quelques personnes ont dit qu'ils l'avaient repéré par le passé. »

Le témoin, qui a également travaillé à sur le terrain de cricket d’Edgbaston pendant 27 ans, a ajouté :

« J'étais à une table dans l'ancien pavillon, il y a environ huit ans. Il y avait des ronds à bière sur la table quand tout à coup l'un d'eux a commencé à se déplacer lentement en diagonale. »

« Puis, il y a environ quatre ans, j'étais dans la cuisine avec un jeune homme qui m'aidait. Il se tenait près de la surface de travail, avec des étagères à sa droite. Quand, tout à coup, un panier en osier s’est soulevé et l'a frappé sur la tête. Il ne voulait plus rester là après cela. »

_____________________________________________________

A vicar whose passion for cricket has not been dimmed by the fact he died more than a century ago has been pictured floating about near his old cricket club in a top hat and coat. Bearded man of God Reverend Edward Roberts was a constant presence at the Birmingham club before and after his death in 1891 – but the new image is the first time the undead cricket fan has been caught on camera. Spooked groundskeeper, Trevor Townsend, 66, captured the image of the ghostly cricket fan, who has an unmistakable long, white beard, top hat and long coat. Previously Townsend saw the mischief-making ghost move beer mats around using the mystical powers of the undead – and hurl wicker baskets across the room. The vicar preached nearby, and would spend his Saturdays at Harborrne Cricket Club – and other club-goers say they have seen the eerie figure trooping down on Saturdays to watch the game. At first, Townsend didn’t see the image of the terrifying, bearded spectre, but when he zoomed in on an image he shot in June, the Rev Roberts was clearly there. OK, ‘clearly’ might be stretching things, but if you squint…

Mr Townsend said: ‘I retired from being full time groundsman but still go and advise the new groundsmen and workers. ‘It was late morning and there was just the two of us at the pitch and I just took a picture of the new groundsman sweeping the wicket. ‘I didn’t know how to zoom in on pictures because it was a new phone so when I was flicking through it last week and I accidentally zoomed in on this one. ‘I zoomed in on the groundsman and was looking around the picture and just saw the figure there.

‘After looking through an old Harborne book I am sure it has to be the vicar because it has a big white beard. ‘It is known he used to come and watch the games and people have said they have spotted him in the past.’ The pensioner who also worked at Edgbaston cricket ground for 27 years, added: ‘I was at a table in the old pavilion going through the fixtures about eight years ago. ‘There were beer mats on the table when suddenly one of them began to slowly move diagonally. ‘I was so shocked I shouted ‘if you’re so clever, do it again’. But of course, he didn’t. ‘Then about four years ago I was in the kitchen with a young man who was helping me. ‘He was standing by the work surface, with shelves to the right. On one was a wok with a wicker basket inside. ‘The basket simply lifted up and hit him on the head. He didn’t want to stay in there after that. ‘I just got used to them in the end. I was a sceptic at first but when the wok incident happened I was convinced there must be some truth to the theories.’

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
