Digging Skeleton

This image was sent into Mysteriousbritain a few years ago and is one of our favourites. What do you guys think? It was taken from a bedroom window and the garden was empty at the time.

Great photo, It looks like its wearing a breastplate. Maybe its a dead footsoldier burying its fallen comrades or digging up some hidden treasure. But my initial thought would be something reflecting off the glass thats inside the room maybe a painted lead figure or something. But not a television or computer screen as we would see that also. Was there any other info sent with it ?

Hmmm... Someone been watching Evil Dead: Army of Darkness?

I'm not sure. It looks pretty cool, but it also looks suspiciously like one of the skeletons in that film, with the armour and pike/spade.



I never thought of the lead miniature. Good call.

Your both right. It turned out, much to the relief of the person who took it to be reflection of a snooker trophy. This is a fantastic picture though

I'm glad you told us that Ian, I was wondering what the thing at the bottom right of the photo was. Its the statues bent arm with snooker cue poking out

haha, very good.


It still looks amazingly like a skeletal warrior though. I suppose that's simulacra, or pareoidela (sp!?) for you, eh?


If you look almost dead centre, you see what looks a bit like the frontend of an artic. lorry

That is increibly cool. How scary for the person who took it.

That's must have been pretty frightening for the person who took it!

I have to say, I guessed it was probably a reflection of something.. it just looked a little too real to me.

Fab photo though.

I believe she was rather scared by it and rightly so. It certainly confused me when I first saw it. Even the scale of the figure looks right. The reflection puts it just in the right place. No fraud involved, just a really cool accidental picture.

WOW! One in a million shot! It looks so real! Spooky!
