The Finch Photograph - A Tale from the Shack
Step into the Shack as Trina travels back to 1860s London, where photographer Alastair Finch made his living capturing the stillness of the newly departed. But one portrait — a simple image of a child — revealed something else lingering in the frame. Something watching. Something waiting.
In this episode, we explore the strange crossroads of photography, folklore, and the human imagination. Why do ghost stories cling to the edges of old photographs? What slips through when light meets shadow? And why do some images feel like they’re looking back?
This is the beginning of our journey into ghost tales, cultural spirits, and the unseen forces that haunt the world’s oldest stories. The Shack’s lantern is swinging into history — just follow the glow.
