As an afterthought anybody interested in a strange and exceedingly creepy real-life puzzle about the taking of a Victorian stereoscopic picture in which mysterious faces appear at a window in one image but are absent in the next should buy the paperback version of Kate Summerscale's brilliant book  "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher." (Bloomsbury Books)

I just started enhancing the original images, and has anyone else noticed the face in the window on the left picture, and no face on the right?
