3 INSANELY FASCINATING photo investigations. Paul McCartney, The Brontes and The Solway Spaceman.

Three photos, three investigations and three INSANELY FASCINATING stories.

The Solway Firth Spaceman.

It's fascinated and intrigued thousands of armchair detectives around the world. It's been hotly debated for over 60 years but here's some new evidence that casts light on the mystery.

Were we really visited by an alien from outer space on 23rd May 1964 or is there a more earthly explanation to this riddle? It was 'debunked' some years ago but many still do not believe the explanation.

The photograph has been unexplained for decades - but this video gets us closer to the truth than ever before. It's one of the most famous photos of all time and we're going to deconstruct it like never before.

The Bronte Sisters. Les Sours Bronte.

The Brontë Sisters wrote some of the finest works in the English language including Wuthering Heights, Jayne Eyre and The Tennant of Wildfell Hall.

Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë and Anne Brontë were celebrities of the mid 19th century - There are no known photos of them.

Or is there?

In this video we're going to look at some key research into a recently discovered photograph that just COULD be them.

Researchers and arm-chair detectives have poured over every bit of detail of this photograph and many believe it IS them.

This is (what I understand to be) the original blog by the photo researcher who actually discovered the photograph. (Apologies in advance if I have got that wrong!) It’s incredibly well put together and a fascinating read.
