Good morning, leanne. Welcome to the ParaNormal Forum (PNF). Is the boarding school closed now ? What kind of vibes do you get when you are near the school ? Did you see the figure and THEN take the picture or did you discover the figure in the window afterwards ?

BTW, we at PNF tend to ask a lot of questions. It's part of our nature and analysis and NOT meant to disrespect the poster. You will find members here very friendly.

Hi Thank you, yes it has been closed for over 5yrs now, as far as vibes go there was a little bit of heaviness but also where I was standing and took the photo is known to be a old viking settlement ground as well. I didnt see the figure in the window at the time, only once I looked back through photos.


This is the front of the building

It has that "lovely" creepy look to it.
 
I think that's just a combination of window grime and reflection that your mind is transforming into an image. It's called pareidolia. Couple other thoughts, however. The second photo shows the facility has been vandalized to the point of missing windows, and possibly doors. If there was someone in that window, could have been a squatter or homeless person. If you still think it could be the spirit of a maid, you might want to check with the local library or historical society to see who is the keeper of the facility archives/history. Most likely there are photos of the school's staff throughout its history, you could check to see if anyone is dressed as you perceive them to be in the photo.

I did walk around the building and there was quite a few windows out, no doors. Up close there was nothing unusual about those paticular windows the building has recently been sold I have been told it is going to be renovated into flats.
The school was built in the 1500's and has tails of a Victorian maid haunting the hall ways. But yes valid points the mind definitely can play tricks.
