Ghost of a Witch Caught in the Photo of a 2 Year Old

This picture was taken at a home in the North Tonawanda district of New York state, near to Niagara - where this little  girl repeatedly told her parents that she was often scared by an old woman she called Peg.
The family told local newspaper Artvoice that the girl said Peg would regularly come into her bedroom in the dead of night.
Sometimes the mysterious presence would frighten the child so much she would call for
her parents, who came into her bedroom to always find nothing there.



Although they admitted they found the girl’s stories “frightening and creepy”, they said ...they were convinced it  nothing more than the usual overactive imagination of a child
Until they took a photograph of their daughter smiling and sitting on the couch… and then saw the unmistakable image of a crone-like face leering out just above the child’s right shoulder.

A family friend told the newspaper: “I’ve seen that couch many times and that image is not there."

The father of the girl said: “Is it a witch? Although I have never seen an image like that before or after on the couch, I’m inclined to think it must have been the lighting, combined with the TV set which was on at the time which created a shadow on the couch.

“Still, it is odd. My daughter would stare as if in a trance and say she saw a witch in the house.

“Then we take this picture and somehow – it just happens to be a ‘shadow’ in the form of a face of a witch.

“I’m looking at the couch right now and I can’t see any shadow like that. Who knows sometimes children because they are pure see things adults can’t see.”

The family is planning to move out of the house in the historic Oliver Street District of the town - not, because of the presence of Peg, according to them but because it is a rented home and they are looking to buy.
