Judith writes, "I am sending the attached photo to you as the
information on your site has helped me understand what this might
be. This picture was taken inside the ruins of the Abbey at
Glastonbury on 10 December 2002. I was attending a spiritual
retreat at a house in the Abbey grounds and the vibe was very
intense. After lunch, it started to snow and I went out to the
Abbey and began taking photos. This was the first one I took inside
the Abbey. I saw nothing when I took the photo but whole atmosphere
was very strange - still and claustrophobic. There is no trace of
mist on any of the other photos I took. I am struck by how similar
in shape this manifestation is to the other photo you have on your
site taken within the same Abbey grounds. If you look at the right
hand side of the balcony, you will see what looks like another tall
figure - this `figure` looks remarkably similar to the dark figure
in the background of the earlier photo....! Glastonbury is one of
the most powerful spiritual sites in the Western world, steeped in
ancient history and legend. The spirit that is said to reside
within the Abbey grounds takes the form of a black armored knight
with red eyes. (The mist in both photos looks more like a robed man
with a long white beard to me - but what of the more distant
figure?) This spirit is said to protect the Arthurian legend and
induce forgetfulness in those who pry to closely. It is also said
to recognize those `of pure and noble heart`.

This is an impressive apparition photo! He looks so regal, and I
see a bearded man wearing what appears to be a crown.
