Ghost Appears Behind Boy in Family Photograph?

A mom taking pictures during a family picnic at a park in England was stunned by one image which seemingly shows a ghost popping up behind her son. According to a report from the UK, Laura Watson and her family was spending the day at a site known as Plessey Woods Park when the kids began climbing a tree that boasted easily accessible limbs. Seeing the perfect family picture unfolding before her eyes, the mom snapped a photo of the scene with her cell phone.

However, Watson began to suspect that she captured more than merely a fun memory of their visit when she got home and looked at the picture on her computer. It was then that she noticed that what appears to be the face of a child can be seen lingering over her son's shoulder. Since there was no one else with them who could account for being this mystery child, the eerie interloper left Watson unsettled as she's sure that it must have been some kind of apparition.

The mom insists that, despite what skeptics might say, she did not alter the photograph in any way. "I'm rubbish with technology and I'm just not the kind of person to do that," she declared. Taking Watson at her word, the other possible prosaic explanation for the oddity is it is a classic 'trick of light and shadow.' While that may very well be the case, one can't help but wonder, when looking at the rather creepy expression on the potential ghost's face, if she really did photograph someone from the 'other side.'

What's your take on the spooky image? Does it show the spirit of a youngster who, no doubt, has a tragic story to tell about how he met his demise in the forest? Or is it much ado about nothing? Let us know at the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page.
