Photograph of ghostly child taken in Redhill, Surrey

April 4, 2011 by Andrew 6 Comments

Does this photograph show a ghostly child?

The photograph was taken by the mother of the boy in red. Sirus Walsh is five, lives in Redhill Surrey and lives in a house alongside several ghosts. The family is relaxed about the supernatural presence and denies the photograph, which was taken on a mobile phone, is doctored.

Sirus’s grandmother, Julie Smith, 52, told press;

My daughter was just taking pictures of her children larking about with her new phone, when she saw that the first photo of her two boys had a halo over both of them.

“She thought, “This isn’t right” and deleted it – and it was when she took the next picture that we noticed Sirus’s little playmate.

What was quite strange is she put it on to Facebook, and within an hour it must have had about 20 comments – but then it disappeared off the site.”

In the Metro, Ms Smith also explained a family friend has “the Gift” and can see lots of “people from the other side” in the house.

What do you think? Does the family have the technical skills to mashup a ghostly image? Is the Facebook claim a little dodgy or do we think ghosts can hack the social network’s database now?
