The following is based on a post in the Mirror...
April 3, 2016.
Caroline Walker played with her grandson in her 20-year-old home in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The living room decor was like stepping through an antique store. Knickknacks, figurines, portraits, and even the furniture came from an era where the world fluctuated between Great Wars. Caroline's family had inherited everything from her mother-in-law, who had passed away in 2008. She loved the house and everything within, especially her grandson.
'Jotham, come here,' Caroline said, pulling out her old cell phone, which was kind of an antique onto its own. Immediately, her grandson made faces. He loved the camera, or at least making funny faces usually while the flash blinked brightly.
'Grandma,' said Jotham, thoroughly confused, 'your flash doesn't work.'
'My cell is old, kind of like your Grandma, sweetie,' said Caroline. 'It doesn't have a flash.'
She continued to click away, the cell phone made antique camera noises, which gave her a sense of using a real camera. Jotham continued to make silly faces while Caroline hoped to capture one of his best looks. What Caroline actually captured would give her pause.
It wasn't until a few weeks late, as she scrolled through each shot of Jotham, the next sillier than the previous, Caroline had stopped at one of the images, and became frightened. Behind Jotham stood a woman dressed in a nightie, her face obscured. No one had been in the room with then, so this woman should not have been in the photograph. And if that hadn't been strange enough, the furniture and everything could be seen through her... she was transparent.
Later, Caroline showed her friends, but they laughed in disbelief. As she explained what was happening at the time, they slowly came to believe her and were shocked.
Afterward, she tried taking more pictures of the room to capture more spirits, but without success. Caroline came to the conclusion that it could have been her deceased mother-in-law because of all her furniture in the house.
'I always try to see the logical side of things,' Caroline once said, 'but this picture I cannot explain.'
