Did Google Streetview capture a ghost on camera?

February 14, 2016 by Andrew 1 Comment

A man browsing Google’s Streetview has found a demonic face appearing out of a window in the Walton area of Liverpool.

He told The Liverpool Echo;

I was looking on Google Street View to find a fish and chip shop in Walton, and I came across The Stuart Hotel.

Something in the top left hand window caught my eye. It looks like a ghostly image of an evil-looking face.

While In Pure Spirit can’t find the original tweet pictures of the ghost-like face are available.

Tom Slemen, a paranormal researcher with experience of Liverpool, confirmed to the paper that The Stuart Hotel is believed to be haunted but wouldn’t vouch for the authenticity of the faces.

According to Slemen one paranormal occurrence in the hotel dates back to 1897 when a scratching noise was heard in the cellar. To begin with the sound was dismissed as being a rat or mice but it became louder and louder. Eventually the neighbours could hear it as well.

Three days later the whole building was shaking to such a degree that the pub windows were left open in case the vibrations shattered the class. After that the noise stopped but a regular drinker knocked three times on the cellar wall and received three knocks back in response. That was enough for the noise to start again. Eventually a priest from St Mary’s Church left a Bible in the cellar and the noise stopped for good.

IPS is unable to confirm whether the Bible is still in The Stuart Hotel.

Photograph of ghostly child taken in Redhill, Surrey

April 4, 2011 by Andrew 7 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?
