A 1991 Ad Week article says:

"The children have left, and the din has subsided. Another hard day's shopping is history at the Sunnyvale, California, branch of Toys 'R' Us. Yet there might be activity inside the vast, silent emporium this midnight, none of which has to do with the straightforward business of retailing.

Inside, it is said, toys topple from the their shelves. A skateboard rolls down an aisle, clanking aimlessly into a wall. But nobody is in this Toys `R' Us this midnight. Or anyway, nobody alive. In the heart of high-tech Silicon Valley, could there really be such a thing as a haunted retail outlet? "I'm a skeptical person," says Toys `R' Us assistant store director Jeff Linden. 'But something's definitely happening here.'"

In the past few years, store management has tried to get to the bottom of several curious developments. Linden recounts stories of objects flying 20 feet through the air and hitting employees. Shelves left neat in a locked store have been found in disarray the next morning. And then there was the talking doll that cried "mama" over and over-- but would only do so when put in a locked box...But that doesn't mean that store workers laugh off the matter. "Some of our employees are spooked," Linden says. "They won't go into certain parts of the store alone." He hastens to add that the "ghost" hasn't affected day-to-day store operations in any tangible way. Yet the incidents were taken seriously enough that management let a local psychic (Sylvia Brown) visit the store."

   The article led to an investigation in which this picture was taken. It's an infa-red picture. The man in the back leaning against the wall was not there (physically) at the time of the picture.

   Lord Combermere was a British cavalry commander in the early 1800's. He died in 1891 after being hit by a horse-drawn carriage. The picture was taken by Sybell Corbet while Lord Combermere's funeral was going on. The exposure took an hour in which time a servant may have come in and sat down but everyone insists that all were present at the funeral.

   Another 'ancient' ghost photo I've always remembered. The picture was taken in 1919 during World War 1. It was published in 1975 by Sir Victor Goddard, who was in this squadron. The blown-up face with the image behind it can be seen in the back row, fourth from the left. The man is said to be Freddy Jackson, a mechanic who was killed by a propeller 2 days earlier. Everyone in the squadron easily recognised Freddy Jackson's face. His funeral was the same day the picture was taken.

   This photo was taken by Rev. Ralph Hardy in 1966. He was intending to photograph the spiral staircase, known as the Tulip Staircase, in the Queen's House Museum in Greenwich, England. The house has had ghostly occurences for 300 years since a maid was supposed to have been thrown to her death from the top of the stairs at 50 feet up.

   The two faces are said to be those of James Courtney and Michael Meehan. They were two crew members on the S.S. Watertown. They were killed by fumes and their bodies were thrown into the sea on December 4, 1924. For the next several days, crewmen began seeing the faces off the side of the boat, following the ship. The captain, Keith Tracy, finally went into port in New Orleans and bought a camera. After waiting for the faces to appear again, he snapped the pictures and locked them up until they could be returned and processed. This photo was the only one which showed the faces. After the crew of the S.S. Watertown was replaced, the faces were never seen again.
