A family was totally freaked out recently after a picture showed a ghostly image in the background. The face was so clear that Facebook even gave them the option of tagging it.

Ciara O’Callaghan, from Blarney, in Co Cork spotted the picture when she was looking through her iPhone images. She said:

My brother Glenn came down from Sligo and I took a picture of him with my niece Carly and nephew Sean in the kitchen.

My niece took the phone from me to pass it over but it took a photo of the ceiling by accident.

I didn’t take any notice until I looked though the photos again.

Ciara was not so sure so she decided to check it out on Photoshop to get a better look in. She said:

To try to find a logical explanation my brother-in-law got the photo and took it into Photoshop, where he changed the colours, darkened it and increased the contrast.

Rather than show the logical explanation we were hoping for, it seemed to simply further the level of mystery.

We don’t have anybody who has a face remotely similar to this one in terms of dimensions or physical appearance.

There is nobody else that looks like that and it’s just extremely strange.

I haven’t been on my own in the house yet. I don’t know if it’s comforting or not but if I saw it again I might freak out.

Apparently she’s now on a quest to find out exactly who or what is in the image. I don’t know – I’m sort of into the idea of ghosts but I reckon this is just the camera freaking out or something.
