Ursula Cont...

Found these somewhere and couldn't resist bringing them here.  Ursula may she be frolicing with a lover somewhere happy, may or may not be a relative of mine.  I suppose I could check but why?   Is it not better to have a fantasy that's a little bit of fun and respect rather than a fact that may be negative and that will include the pain she must have suffered?   I like the connection the way it is.

The images above are said to be of ghosts haunting the witches prison.   I did think ectoplasm had been largely dismissed but the pictures are said to be ectoplasmic outlines of figures gliding aroung the building known as The Cage its a property that was used to imprison those unfortunates accused of witchcraft. Vanessa Mitchell is the current owner of the building and the two images were snapped without manipulation by spirit photographer Ron Bowers in front of a room full of onlookers.

At one time The Cage served as the village prison for all criminals in ST Osyth Essex England but its become better known as the place that held  Ursula Kemp and fourteen other local women who were accused of witchcraft and hung in the 1500s.
