When the image was developed, everyone was stunned.
There, floating above the staircase, was the outline of a woman.
Her face appeared almost skeletal.
Her body seemed translucent.
And she looked as though she was gliding down the stairs rather than walking.
The image quickly spread across newspapers and magazines around the world.
People were horrified.
Who Was the Brown Lady?
According to local legend, the ghost was Lady Dorothy Walpole.

Born in the late 1600s, Dorothy was known for her beauty and charm.
She married Charles Townshend, who owned Raynham Hall.
