The picture of the head in the basket was taken in early 1996 in Halswell, and has an earthly explanation.

Carol McDonald took a photo of her 10-month-old grandson, but in a basket in the background there seemed to be a head.

The family was terrified until it was emerged the head was a picture of actor Jack Nicholson, star of horror film The Shining, from a Skywatch magazine that had been dropped in the basket.
