Mum left terrified after spotting looming ghostly figure behind her daughter in holiday snap

"I looked at it and I just thought ‘Oh my God, what the hell is that?"

A MUM was left TERRIFIED and unable to sleep after spotting a ghostly figure looming behind her ten-year-old daughter in a holiday snap. 

Sarah Williams, 38, and her daughter, Amelie, were scared witless following the ghoulish encounter while camping earlier this.

Sarah, a nurse, said: “When I saw the picture I was just like ‘Oh my God’.

“I didn’t tell my daughter because I just thought she’d never go camping again.”

The pair had travelled from their home in Stourbridge, West Mids, to the Hopley Family Campsite in Bewdley, Worcs, on Monday. 

They hung out in the wilderness with Sarah’s best mate and her daughter, as well as a few other pals.

On tuesday evening they were roasting marshmallows over a  roaring campfire just before 10 o’clock.

Sarah said: “I went to take a picture and I saw something move behind Amelie, but I just took the picture anyway. 

“I looked at it and I just thought ‘Oh my God, what the hell is that?’

“It looked like there was a man with his hand raised standing behind her.”

Terrified Sarah fired off the snap to Amelie’s dad and a few pals to ask for their opinions on whether the creepy apparition was a genuine spectre – or just a trick of the light.

“They were just all saying ‘Oh my God, yeah it really looks like it,” she said.

Sarah added: “I was trying not to show it but I was quite freaked out.

“I struggled to sleep that night – it was so intense. Every little movement or sound kept me awake.”

But it’s not the first ghostly encounter Sarah’s had.

She said: “I thought I saw things when I used to work at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

“I’ve been doing nighttime observations before and seen the curtains moving – but everyone is in bed, asleep.

“It’s quite common for that sort of thing to happen in hospitals, although it’s not normally a daily occurance.”

And despite the terror, Sarah hasn’t been turned off camping completely – although she’s in no hurry to go back. 

She said: “I definitely think it was something standing behind her, because there was a movement that caught my eye.

“It’s a shame because it is a lovely campsite. Although I am quite freaked out now.

“I’m not sure if I would rush back.”

The campsite is in the village Bewdley – which is also home to a “haunted” pub and museum.
