At first I thought this was another Kevin Horkin trick so I was preparing to pour coffee onto my groin to relieve the pain of looking at another of The Sun Newspaper’s “ghost” photographs.

Our reader “Emma”, sent an email to me last night to inform me of the newest of the “ghostly” photographs circling the media. This time it is not The Sun that makes an ass of itself. It’s the Daily Mail UK. Are all the newspapers going to start a “ghost photograph” war now?

Maybe it was because of the large number of hits that the ‘Gwrych Castle Ghost picture’ brought to The Sun’s website. Or maybe the Daily Mail really thinks that this might be a legitimate photograph. They did consult with a local paranormal team “Hull Paranormal Ghost Society” who told the Daily Mail

‘I have never seen anything as clear and as distinctive as the boy in the picture.

‘I am aware of people using mobile phones and getting orbs and misty images. It needs further investigating.’

The ghostly image of a young boy was captured on camera as builders demolished an old school building.

John Fores, 47, insists the spectral figure was not present when he took the picture of the part-demolished brick building.

But when he looked back at the images he spotted the boy, aged around eight with short hair and wearing a dark top, standing on the right of the picture looking into the camera.

Mr Fores was carrying out demolition work on the site at Anlaby Primary School, near Hull, East Yorkshire. He took several pictures on his mobile phone to record the demolition work.

He said: ‘I took the pictures just after noon. I took a few and at the time didn’t notice anything.

‘When I put the pictures on the computer and I saw the figure, the hairs on the back of my neck stuck up.

‘I couldn’t believe what I had seen. I didn’t believe in ghosts, but since I got this picture I am not so sure.’

The image of the young boy is exceptionally clear, but the builder insists he has not altered the picture in any way.

The school, which is still in use, was built in 1936.

Caretaker Gordon Bradshaw, 54, said it has a reputation for being haunted.

He said: ‘I’ve been here 29 years and the kids have always said there is a ghost at the school. I’ve never seen anything though.’

Rob Taylor, of the Hull Paranormal Ghost Society, said: ‘I have never seen anything as clear and as distinctive as the boy in the picture.

‘I am aware of people using mobile phones and getting orbs and misty images. It needs further investigating.’

I would ask you guys what your thoughts on this photograph is, but I wouldn’t want you guys to start pouring coffee on yourselves.
