Ghost Photographed Behind Son In Tree ... Genuine Or Fake?

Is this photograph a genuine capture of the 'ghost' or is it a photoshop fake? The story appeared in the Daily Mail today, and is reported to be photograph taken by a Mother of her two children and their cousin in Plessey Woods Country Park, Northumberland on Bank Holiday Monday.

There was apparently nobody else with them. It only when she looked back at the photos on her phone that she noticed the black haired boy behind her son touching her son's shoulder.

The Mother claims she has not tampered with the photo in any way, and she was a skeptic of the paranormal until this incident occurred.

It all seems very genuine and plausible, until you examine the 'ghost' behind her son. It bears a striking resemblance to the cousin who is photographed above her son on the left, in the tree. The hair colour is the same, and they both share a similar complexion and shape around the eyes and hair line.

Coincidence? Or is this a fake. We will let you decide. We want to believe, but when we go out and investigate anything paranormal, we adopt the attitude of the skeptic. Its only when we have been able to dismiss all feasible and normal possibilities, that we then explore the paranormal possibilities. With this we want to believe, but there is too muck likeness between the supposed ghost and the cousin in the tree .... MJ
