There are many tales and myths of strange happenings occurring at Redmire Pool over the decades.....could this be photographic proof of the apparition that haunts the hallowed water?!
My brother was lucky enough to land a 20lb common carp (from my intended I swim I might add, but drawing straws left me less fortunate!) and so I was demoted to chief photographer! - I photographed 9 shots of the lucky buggar in quick succession,..no more than a second apart, and on exactly the 5th shot there appears to be a shape in the mist on his right shoulder, absent on ALL other photographs!
Here are photographs 4,5 and 6 for comparison!...
P.s. It is well worth note that the MKIV (Barder) returned to its home place to land this specimen,..well done Ben!

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Yes - looks like breath - because there is also some by the carp's head in that photo.Loop Erimder wrote:Breath from the photographer

Early signs of a manifestation.
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
