Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë and Anne Brontë were celebrities of the mid 19th century - There are no known photos of them. Or is there? In this video we're going to look at some key research into a recently discovered photograph that just COULD be them. This is an update of a previous video which also includes some exciting NEW evidence. Researchers and arm-chair detectives have poured over every bit of detail of this photograph and many believe it IS them. Please join me whilst we investigate - Les Sours Brontë. SPECIAL THANKS to Emily Ross - Independent Researcher. SPECIAL THANKS ALSO to Caroline - VNI viewer and Bronte enthusiast. Key research sources and further reading. This is (what I understand to be) the original blog by the photo researcher who actually discovered the photograph. (Apologies in advance if I have got that wrong!)

(Wikipedia) The mixed re-recording was created by students who played the sound of the word "Laurel" while re-recording the playback amid background noise in the room. The audio clip of the main word "Laurel" originated in 2007 from a recording of opera singer Jay Aubrey Jones who spoke the word “laurel”. Yanny/Laurel is used in this video and is assumed to be under copyright. Rationalle for usage under US fair use and UK fair dealing is 1) The sample is being used for commentary on the recording in question. 2) The recording is of inferior quality to the original (and includes background music).
