Castle Rising Castle -from the Old Norman Church

Stood in the place where an old Norman church once stood we see one side of Castle Rising Castle. The Castle was built by William d'Aubigny ( d'Albini ) 11 for his wife Adeliza of Louvain ( second wife of Henry 1st )around 1140. The Castle later in time became the place where Edward 111 banished his mother Isabella to for many years for her part of the murder of Edward 11 ( some say with a red hot poker in a private place, but this rumour is now in question )

A picture of Castle Rising Castle

The Big Question

This is a fire place but was originally the main entrance into the Castle from the entrance hall at the top of the flight of steps into the Castle. The Castle was built by William d'Albini ( an ancestor of my wife and daughter and he was married to Adeliza of Louvain- King Henry 1st's second wife ). Now this shot I have taken a similar one but this one you see here was taken by my wife Linda and we have been unable to understand what we can see in the bottom of the reflections of the left hand window. Firstly there is what seems to be a womans face where the window frame main sections cross but it seems the face would have to be on the outside of the window ! Even more worryingly there is another image in the very bottom left of this window which looks like a semi mummified face with teeth in tact- it needs magnification but does go off a bit as you enlarge. It has been looked at by someone who knows Castle Rising Castle exceedingly well and who is very much involved with the paranormal, he has not been able to explain it and he says this picture and what it holds still freaks him out big time. Anyone else able to explain it?
