A couple claim their house is haunted after capturing what they believe to be an apparition of a baby ghost on camera.

Shocked John Gore, 43, was taking photographs of his pet cats when he noticed the bizarre outline of a small ghostly figure.

The shape – which looks like a toddler or baby – appears to be stand next to an armchair in the living room of the house Mr Gore shares with his girlfriend Sonia Jones in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

The couple have now given the ghost the nickname ‘Johnny Junior’.

Neighbours have since told the couple that a baby died from cot death in their home a number of years ago.

Mr
Gore and Miss Jones have also noticed the room’s lights turning on and
off and the television changing channels on its own in a series of
spooky goings-on at the house.

Mr
Gore said: ‘One of my cats kept scratching at the wall and jumping up
in the area and we’re always taking pictures of the cats.

‘When we got it through we were surprised to find the little figure just stood by the sofa.

‘We have had a few strange things happen before, like the TV kept changing channels and turning itself off.

‘I
showed it to a lady over the road who has lived here for years. She
said somebody who lived in the house before us had a child who died of
cot death.’

But the couple have no plans to move and have even given the ghost the nickname ‘Johnny Junior’ and believe it is a friendly ghoul.

Mr Gore said: ‘I am feeling
fine about it and so is Sonia, it does not bother us as we have nothing
to show it is not a friendly ghost.

‘I started believing in ghosts after my mum Anne died in 2004, but people always say until you see it you do not believe it.

‘It
is hard to tell whether it is a boy or a girl, but we have called the
ghost Johnny Junior, and it looks to be about a toddler’s age.

‘Lots
of people have seen it and are commenting on it on Facebook. Some have
said it looks like a shadow, but it is such a strong shape of a person.’

Why do ghosts just turn the lights on/off and creak floor boards? Why not just appear to everyone? Because, they don’t exist!

Head is too small to be a small child.

i phone app!!!!!!! hahahaha

It’s only a shadow of the chair!

There is no such thing as ghosts!

Looks more like the ghost of a gummy bear

Well it’s a bit spookey if it’s real, but it looks more like an outline of a bottle? 🙂

As an atheist i find this article offensive. Put it down right now DM. – Tom, Scotland, 18/6/2012 17:45 Oh, terrible sorry we have offended your beliefs Tom!!! What exactly is it about the article that you find quite so offensive? That we dont all have the same beliefs as you? Weird! I would say that my beliefs are the total opposite of yours but, still, I dont give a toss about yours and they dont offend me at all!

I’ve seen better ‘alien’ photos, if you’re going to fake a picture at least spend more than 10 seconds composing it, on top of that kudos for pointing out just how gullible journalists are!

What the hell ( oops, sorry Tom ) has the supernatural, or the existence of a ‘spirit’ got to do with a belief in omnipotent, controlling deities?
