It’s been another busy week for photobombing phantasms all over the world. Earlier this week we brought you both “the castle ghost” and the “home alone ghost” photos, so we figured we’d round off the week with more spine-tingling photos from the depths of social media.
First on the list of potential ghost snaps is the “Pond Spirit”, which was snapped May 9 at Ponciau Pool in Wrexham, Wales. Wayne Foulkes thought he was having a pretty normal day out on the water, but then his friend took this picture and ruined all that. The spooky photo shows what looks an awful lot like a giant orange goblin floating above his left shoulder.
Lucky for Foulkes, his wife is totally “into all that paranormal stuff”, and was able to identify the orange blob as a ghost. Once the image hit Facebook it exploded, drumming up lots of debate about the validity of the photo as it went.
According to Foulkes, Ponciau Pool has a tragic history and has been the sight of quite a few local drownings, which he says adds credibility to the image. Even the owner of Ponciau Fishing Club, Graham Thomas, had to agree that the strange ball of light floating over Foulkes does look an awful lot like a face.
“There is definitely a face in the background,” said Ponciau councillor Paul Pemberton. “It has got eyes, a nose and teeth. Ponciau Pool has got a real history, a grim past, I know of a number of people who have died there, so it makes the photo more eerie. The guy in the picture had just caught one of the biggest carp in there, but when he’s seen what’s in the background on the photo, he’s been spooked.”
Next up on this week’s ghost photo round-up is a picture taken outside of an abandoned mall in Northeastern Ohio.
Snapped by amateur photographer Tonya Nester outside of the abandoned Randall Park Mall, once the largest shopping mall in the entire world, the image appears to show a strange fog manifesting in the abandoned lot. According to Nester, there was nothing present when the photo was taken, it wasn’t until she got home and reviewed the pictures that she noticed the strange white fog.
Once the picture hit Twitter it went viral, stirring up all manner of theories from smudgy car windows, to plastic bags, to, of course, ghosts. Considering that Randall Park Mall is supposedly haunted, there were quite a few people who believe the story fits.
