The ghost of Dr Edward Jenner?

This photograph purports to be of the ghost of Dr Edward Jenner, the pioneer of smallpox vaccination. It was taken in his former home and appears to show a mysterious figure sitting in a chair.



Of especial interest to me because my Nan always said she was related to Dr Jenner, i have found though that her ancestors were called Genner but they do appear to have been from Gloucestershire (like Dr Jenner) and its of course possible there was a relationship somewhere in the mists of time, name spellings did vary until fairly recently.
