A chilling discovery has been made in a group photo taken by hikers on a mountain trail, which has since caused quite a stir online.
Posted in the Ghosts of London Facebook group – a platform where social media users share their images that they believe contain something supernatural – the snap has racked up more than 1,400 likes and hundreds of comments.
The person who submitted the image wrote with it: “A friend of mine sent me this picture from his group of friends in Chile.” Initially it seems like an ordinary snapshot, featuring two men and three women gathered for a selfie, with other hikers coming up the mountain trail in the background.
However, something unnerving is noticeable between the woman on the far left and her companion in the centre. When closely inspected, there appears to be an additional, ghostly face, with its nose and mouth visible when you zoom in.
Social media users are convinced that the haunting photo shows some form of apparition. One spooked observer commented: “That gave me the shivers which normally mean my sixth sense kicked in lol.”
Another person said: “How scary is this in broad daylight though and how the heck did whatever it is get in-between these people. What a great catch that meaning a lot of people including me wouldn’t have even spotted it like if I took the picture I mean.” And a third said: “Oh wow. This a great catch. I have a feeling it’s not a good spirit. It’s scary. Wonder who this spirit is attached to.”
However, not everyone seems convinced by the photo. One commenter said: “It’s too defined. You can see teeth and whatnot. I just don’t know on this one.” And another wrote: “Real or altered I never know these days, but that is really creepy.”
