Photo of candle-lit 'ghost' terrifies museum staff

It was taken during a ghost hunting evening at Torquay Museum in Devon and staff claim nobody else was in the room when it was shot.

The image was captured in the museum's Old Devon Farmhouse Gallery - a mock-up of a cottage filled with 300-year-old artifacts and furniture.

Staff were randomly taking photos and only spotted the figure when looking back at the images later.

Marketing manager Carl Smith said: "We saw something in the middle of the photo and when we adjusted the contrast we clearly saw the woman.

"It was a bit of a surprise and pretty creepy.

"From the angle of the photograph it looks like she is submerged into the floor, almost like she is below floor level.

"There was no-one else present when the photo was taken so we are at a loss to explain it.

"It is a bit of a mystery, and there seems to be no other explanation."
