Chilling photograph shows a ‘ghost’

The photo was submitted by Facebook user Jessica Harris, who claimed the picture showed a ghost behind her sister.

She said the photo was taken around the time that Apple’s iTouch came out, dating the picture at around 15 years old.

Jessica took the picture of her sister inside her stepdad’s house, she said. She claimed her family didn’t notice the ghost in the image but Jessica is convinced.

Jessica claims the ghost is sitting just over her sister’s right shoulder.

Above her ponytail, in her hair, it’s a shape that resembles the face of a woman.
