I am what is known as an 'early bird'. Having successfully secured 30 East Drive, Pontefract for next year, I started to do some research today ahead of schedule. One of the things I have been looking at is the emergency procedures. This has involved looking at the site on Google Maps and looking for a suitable ERV (Emergency Rendez Vous) and parking areas. Whilst doing this, 'old eagle eyes' noticed something peculiar..........
Did Google Maps actually catch 'Fred', or even Joe Pritchard who died on the property (in the bathroom), peeking out? From the bathroom window..............
There are three consecutive street-level shots I want you to look at, taken by Google Maps back in May 2018. I will break each one down as we go:
So, in the first shot, and to give a 'flowing consistency' to the series of pictures, we can clearly see the Postman crossing the road. As we zoom in on Maps to the upper bathroom window, we can also see that the pink bathroom curtains (I know - who does this?) are closed.
Now, the 'postie' has reached the path. We can clearly see that the bottom left corner of the right curtain has been pulled back and, is that possibly a face peering out?
In the third and final shot, the 'postie' is walking along the path and we can see that the corner of the curtain is back down, with no additional anomalies being noted.
Remember, this house is vacant and nobody lives in it. Access is strictly controlled and investigators are not allowed in until 18:00 pm. With the 'postie' in the frames, I know these were captured anywhere between 10:00 am and 14:00 pm (normal mail delivery times for us).
Now, this has been a reported activity at the property over the years and even Yvette Fielding, from Most Haunted, during their two-part investigation there (S17 E01 and E02 - 2015) noted something moving the curtains, in the same window, as they were all outside and the house was known to be empty. As did Nick Groff in his "The Yorkshire Haunting" special from Paranormal Lockdown (aired 2020) and during his interview with the next-door neighbour, Carol.
What do you think? Is this just a trick of the light, or could it actually be something paranormal?
Love to hear your thoughts.
