ducketts grove pic

Hi Guys, I've never posted here before and don't really post much anywhere but I said I put this up here for you to have a look.

I was in ducketts grove the other day and my wife took some pictures. I jokingly said I'd check them for any ghosts when we got home and the first pic I looked at was this one. Now I'm sceptic but I thought I'd put it here for you guys to have a look and see what you think. I must say the place is amazing and parts were ceepy as hell. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

On the right of centre just by the smaller tower/pillar there appears to be a face looking out. there is another thing to the left of that but that's a light fixture i think.

I hope the resolution is good enough.

cant say i see anything. then again, i also think the whole 'ducketts grove in haunted' idea is the best marketing/tourism plan carlow county council ever came up with. there was no word of ghosts or banshees before they took it over.

I'd never heard of it until last week, we looked up different tours of ireland and came across "the carlow backroads"
The sensory gardens, The Dolmen, ducketts grove and a caslte (i cant remember the name but it had a temple of ISIS in the basement which was weird to say the least) it was a nice day trip though.

not trying to be... someone posts a picture of a ruin

says something about a face

there is clearly no face

the only supernatural going on here is the OP's disappearing act

maccored

not really too sure what you think you'd find in a paranormal forum. Sure you're in the right place?

Wow. Good spot.

It kind of looks like two faces to me. Not sure if you see both of them.

One of the faces looks evil, the other looks like a black and white photo. They are right next to each other.

Strange to say the least.

sniperviper

I can see the one that looks like a black and white photo kind of looks to me like its a mans head

Yeah same, it seems strange, but it looks like it could be a photo of Winston Churchill. Maybe not Churchill, the guy in the photo is not quite the same.

Definitely the same era though if this is a photoshopped photo. (Not saying it is.)

Is this what we're looking at? If so its pareidolia.

That is what I am looking at. But I can see the black and white face and another one.

The second one is evil if I have ever seen an evil face.

that one definitely is from the roof of the other side of the building. the outline looks like a hair on the lens.

Would not be too sure. After all it is Ducketts Grove.

Maybe it is though. However I tend to think not.

I was researching Haunted Carlow in 2010 and there was no word about ducketts grove being haunted. seemed to have kicked off when destination truth got there and started talking about banshees (even a quick google for ducketts grove and banshee doesnt bring up much pre 2011). People can believe what they wish to believe, but to me personally its nothing more than pareidolia

Just because there is no word of being haunted does not mean it cant be. No more so then the reverse where places like Leap claim to be haunted but are clearly not.

Either way its good to see a nice picture posted on this forum and a bit of discussion.

just because theres no word of it not being haunted also doesnt mean that it is haunted. not too many places are in fairness.

still not seeing anything
