Are there ghosts at the Castle? Well I never saw any in the 25 years I was up there, but then again.........

Phil, I've got two photos taken in a corridor of the Castle with an apparition robed in a very colourful garment; they were both taken one after the other, and there was no-one else when the shots were taken.

Paul, the digital camera edits the photos in MBs on my computer, and the maximum download on the Forum is 200 KBs.
As I don't use Windows, there's no way to re-dimension them.
My blog manages the same photos without problem, but I haven't downloaded those two particular pics on it, though.

Alexander, image pixel megabytes and file size megabytes aren't the same thing - whenever you take images as jpgs (no real photographer ever would) there's a compression applied by the software to reduce the file size. Your beloved Goggle has a free program called Picasa that will do the necessary file size reduction and a lot of other stuff easily -

There's a well reported WW2 sailor seen in the hospital at the castle but usually only by children, too late for all of us!

Ray, modern photography is done through digital camera, so jpg.s are the norm.
I've got a stunning collection of Castle orb-photography.

That's the difference, Paul. Orb photography is not within everyone's reach.

Just trying to be helpful Alexander, if you'd bothered to follow the link it would have solved your problems whether you use Windows or any other regular operating system.

My Giraffe-X system won't resize photos, Paul.
Thanks, Ray, but there's no rush to publicise my orb-photography.
They only ever appear at the Castle, in certain rooms.

If you buy Rebecca a pint of cider she might show you her orbs.

Don't belive everything you read in the papers, or on twitter or anywhere else for that matter!
