A seemingly normal photo of a group of friends on holiday has been branded ‘creepy’ after people spotted a ‘ghost’ hidden in the snap.
A Reddit user who goes by the name CursedEmoji posted the snap online – saying their friend had sent them a picture of their trip to Chile.
Upon first glance, it may seem as though there are a group of six people – four women and two men – posing for the snap while trekking in a forest.
However, a less obvious, much darker looking face appeared to be lurking in the snap.
After being shared online, people were quick to share how they were ‘creeped out’.
One wrote: ‘Oof. That definitely made my heart jump when I finally found it.’
Another penned: ‘I thought it was about the top of a head behind the guy on the right. Oh yeah, I saw the witch too!’
A third said: ‘It was a completely normal picture before zooming in. It’s a creepy picture with a very clear ghost face.’
A fourth commented: ‘Looks like someone’s grandma is travelling with them,’ while a fifth chimed in and added: ‘Nah that actually scared me a bit.’
Upon first glance, it may seem as though there are group of six people – four women and two men – who are posing for a selfie while trekking in a forest – but on further inspection, there appears to be a spirit lurking in the picture
However, others questioned whether the picture was real, with some theorising that it might’ve been a camera glitch or even Photoshop.
One wrote: ‘Creepy! Seems a little too good to be true, though.’
Another penned: ‘That’s absolutely Reagan from the exorcist photoshopped in, things like this sadly dampen paranormal photography.’
A third said: ‘Looks photoshopped to me, just too obvious. I saw it pretty quickly.’
A fourth commented: ‘Looks like a digital error of some kind. Face looks similar to the dude on the left.’
This comes as a professional exorcist debunked movie myths and revealed which people are most likely to get possessed by ‘demons’.
Ralph Keeton, a medium and exorcist from Hull with more than 25 years of experience under his belt, went on the People Are Deep podcast to share his stories of apparently communicating with spirits.
The interviewer on the show spoke about the 1973 supernatural film The Exorcist, which follows a young girl who has become possessed, after playing with an Ouija board.
In one scene, she is filmed sitting up as her head spins around and she is also seen throwing up green vomit while having a violent fit – but this is an inaccurate depiction of a possession, according to Ralph.

He said: ‘It’s much more of a natural phenomenon. On a very rare case is someone lifted or moved around a property.
‘Most of the time, it’s more physical things happening to a person. So it’s like an object hitting you or a lesion coming onto your skin or mental breakdowns.
‘It’s things that are more common. That case with the film, I’ve never witnessed anything like that.’
Ralph gave an example of one of his rarer cases where he dealt with a woman who had ‘a sexual ghost attacking her’.
He said: ‘When you see fingerprints on skin, legs being pulled apart and lifted up and dragged, you can’t tell me that’s her doing it because we couldn’t physically stop it.
‘It was a case of me getting hold of her and then deciding what we were going to do.
‘It’s a hard concept for anyone to get their head around, because this type of stuff exists in CGI and films and things like that. When it’s happening in real life, it’s a whole new ball game.’
A less obvious, darker spirit was lurking in the snap and was so inconspicuous that people were asking for help spotting the spirit in the comments
During the chat, Ralph revealed that ‘weak’ individuals are the most likely to apparently get possessed as they will likely allow the spirit to take over their bodies.
He said: ‘You’ve got to be quite weak-willed for it to happen because you need to let someone take control of you. In most cases in life as a human being, you naturally go against that.
‘I don’t know about you, but when someone says “No” to me, I say “What do you mean, no?” But they will try and take over you.’
The experienced medium said that it can be challenging to get rid of an energy once it has taken over someone’s body.
‘Once an energy is gone, it’s like a bereavement. In half the cases I’ve dealt with, a lot of people are half expecting it to come back,’ he added.
‘Well if you’re half expecting it back, you’re half bringing it back again.
‘So I’ve got to literally deal with this and tell people once it’s gone, it’s not coming back.’
