A spooked schoolboy spent the night in his mother’s room after a ‘ghost girl’ appeared to photobomb him during a visit to a playground.

Ayesha Wilson-Bent, 36, was at home on July 26 when her son Gabriel Ashmore, 14, sent her a picture of his 12-year-old brother Kristian Ashmore beaming from inside a tower of tyres.

As Kristian scrolled through photos that evening he spotted what he thought was a cobweb near his head in that image.

But after the 12-year-old brightened the snap and zoomed in on the mystery shape his stomach dropped as he spotted what actually appeared to be the face of a young girl looming over his shoulder.

Initially wary, stay-at-home mother Ms Wilson-Bent quizzed the pair over whether they had edited the ominous photo.

The ‘shocked’ boys insisted they had not, an answer the 36-year-old was satisfied with when she tried and failed to edit the image in that way herself.

Kristian was so terrified by the snap that he refused to go to bed alone and stayed in his mother’s room that night.

Once the initial shock wore off, Ms Wilson-Bent, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, said the family have become more excited about the apparent supernatural image, joking she hoped Kristian had not ‘brought something home’ with him.

The photo has been shared on social media where spirit spotters were left divided, with some believing it to be an entity while others claiming it is the work of an ‘amateur editor’.

Ms Wilson-Bent said: ‘I do believe in ghosts but I was a little sceptical.

‘I was like “there must be a reason for this”, so I asked them if they’d added the face on Photoshop.

‘They were both adamant that they hadn’t. I tried to see if I could edit in a face myself, but I couldn’t do it.

‘They were so shocked and scared, I knew they hadn’t messed around with the photo. My boys aren’t advanced Photoshop editors.

‘I looked at the times when they took the photo and when they sent it to me – it was literally seconds. There wasn’t time for them to edit it.’

The picture was taken as the siblings were hanging out next to some tyres on a playground that afternoon – although neither boy noticed anything unusual about the photo until that evening.

Ms Wilson-Bent continued: ‘Kristian was looking at the picture and zooming in on his face.

‘He thought there was a cobweb next to him, so he looked at it closely. Then he ran over to me saying “mum, look at this”.

‘I said “I can’t see anything”. I thought they were having me on. They were like “no mum, look”. They both looked really shaken up.

‘I was watching a programme at the time, so I was getting a little bit annoyed but I looked again and that’s when I thought “oh my gosh, there is something there”.

‘Kristian was terrified. He ended up sleeping in my room that night, he was so scared.’

More than a week later, the family are now excited about their spooky snap.

Ms Wilson-Bent said: ‘We’re at the point now where we find the picture more exciting than scary. It’s a rare catch I think.

‘It turned into a bit of excitement where we thought “wow, I can’t believe we captured that”.

‘I’ve not been able to come up with an explanation for the face. I’ve put it on a few Facebook groups and sent it to family and friends, they’ve been freaked out too.

‘The comments on the groups were very 50-50, a lot of people think it’s real, but a lot of other people were like “no, it’s photoshopped, it’s fake”.

‘It’s very mixed, but I’d say most people commenting believed it was real.

‘Some of the comments were saying that the girl looked angry and she didn’t look happy. I actually joked to Kristian “I hope you haven’t brought something home”.

‘It’s made me believe a lot more in ghosts.’

Responses on one Facebook ghost group were mixed, with people being left split on the authenticity of the photo.

One commenter wrote: ‘Definitely not fake hun, it’s a girl about nine years old. Obviously wants to play with your sons. So sad when the spirit is lost, bless her…brilliant. Thanks for sharing.’

Another commented: ‘Sod people’s negative opinions, if you know it’s real, that’s all that matters.’

Other users were not as convinced.

One sceptic wrote: ‘What a load of rubbish.’

Another commented: ‘Amateur editor at work here*the face was clearly placed there.’
