Any chance of a scan at 300dpi YT...the file size is only 57kbs and you can post up to 500kb.

Hi YT...If that is scanned at 300dpi then it's a very small photo and 600-800 dpi would most likely bring out the 3 ladies in the photo.

The ghostly happenings did not hapen there. The old post office in my photo has not been a post office in living memory. The post office mentioned in the newspaper article was the post office at the time, a different house.
