The Hampton Court Ghost

Is this picture proof there is a ghost at Hampton Court?

The ghost at Hampton Court is believed to have been caught here on CCTV closing a set of doors. The doors had been mysteriously opening and closing themselves recently.

Palace guides do not apparently enter that part of the building so they believe this must be a ghost.

It could be the best ghost sighting ever, says psychologist Dr Richard Wiseman, I haven't seen anything that would match that at all.

However, others believe it to just be a cynical marketing ploy. Matt Jones at Frownland.com gives an amusing guide on how to increase visitor numbers with a ghost.

Anyway, here's a copy of the picture. I've zoomed, sharpened and adjusted the levels to try to make it clearer. The original ghost picture can be found here.
