Ghost Stations VII
by Bruce Barrymore Halpenny

In 1990, the Pearson family, David, his wife Jacquline and their son Justin, attended the air display at RAF Finningly in Yorkshire. They are all avid aviation enthusiasts and go to as many air shows as possible…always armed with a camera.

"We go to all air shows we possibly can," said David, "but our real interest is aviation in world war two. This is our era, we find it absolutely fascinating. We all love to go round abandoned world war two airfields and this has become part of our way of life. What we see makes us very sad at times."

At the RAF Finningly Air Show, David Pearson took many photographs, one being the Finningly ghost, as David explains:

"I took a photograph of an ME109 Bouchon, this being the Spanish built copy. It was not until eight months later we noticed the outline of a figure stood next to it."

Is it the Finningly ghost caught on camera?"

"We have had all sorts of comments about it from friends and other fellow enthusiasts," said David "ranging from, 'it' may be superimposed of another photo;' to, 'is it part of the fence which could have been repaired?' However, when you look closely the fence posts have both cast shadows but, the figure has not. We believe we may have just slipped into one of those time warps mentioned in your books."

David Pearson could well be correct….It could well be a glimpse into another Time Zone. Can you explain otherwise? After reading, Is There a Parallel Dimension? In my Ghost Stations V book, Charles Humphrey wrote to say:

"I remember a science lesson in the Thirties at grammar school in Sussex. Our master was giving my class a lecture on sound waves. He told us that our voices would carry on all around the universe. He further added, if man could invent a machine to capture these voices it might be possible one day to pick up the voice of Jesus Christ….I leave you to ponder on that one."

There are one or two possibilities. Yes, it could well be a glimpse into another Time Zone. Could it be one of RAF Finningly's ghosts? (see Ghost Stations). The body of a wartime crew member was found in the peat bog just off the main runway. The body has never been identified, other than the fact that it was dressed in Polish RAF uniform. The body was buried at Finningly Military cemetery. So there could still be a restless spirit looking for the other crew members.

Looking at the photographs one can see that the phantom figure is the otherside of the chain-link fence and, as David Pearson said, it does not cast a shadow, whereas, the two posts do. One can also make out a hand at the side of the phantom figure….It is certainly strange that it does not cast a shadow, which means, the Finningly ghost could have been caught on camera. It is a genuine picture, David Pearson who took the picture, confirms this.
