Unusual but true: true love never runs smooth

Dead ringer or dead cert?

A photo taken by man who had started work on the night shift at a hospital in the UK created a stir on the Internet because of a ghostly female figure in the picture.

Andrew Milburn took the picture as proof of him being on duty to his girlfriend. But a transparent figure of a girl wearing a long dress appeared to be trying to enter a room.

The man uploaded the picture to Facebook and claimed other staff at the hospital had heard weird steps near the place where the "ghost" was snapped.

Although many believed it to be a supernatural event others thought the "ghost" to be a dead ringer for fake ghost photography app "Ghost Capture". The app has different ghosts which people can insert on photos to play a prank on their friends.
