It certainly was a busy and muggy day at a feverish Tokyo airport one day in 1954. Those passengers who had just deplaned stood in a somber queue, waiting for the Customs agents to review …

Weeping ... ghostly figure of girl in mirror.



Dear ‘The Sun’: Stop.

No seriously. If any editors from The Sun newspaper are reading this, please…just stop.

The Sun has been the joke of recent online ghost photo hoaxes. So it’s no surprise that yesterday’s post in The Sun’s website about a “Weeping … ghostly figure of girl in mirror” was an automatic junk post. As soon as I saw the image, I checked the screenshots for the the iPhone app called “Ghost Capture”. In the exact same method The Sun was fool with the “ghost boy” photograph, again we see one of the “ghosts” from the iPhone app making headlines.

Are the editors at The Sun even trying?

But don’t quote me on that; after all I did take pre-calculus like 3 times.

A TERRIFIED couple spotted this ghostly figure of a weeping girl in the mirror of their hotel room – and fled after managing to snap a picture.

The “hysterical” pair said she had curly locks and a check dress, and was “crying”.

They checked straight out of the room which was LOCKED by hotel bosses after seeing the spine-tingling image, so no one else could stay there.

A guest at the Ramada Hotel in Watford, Herts, said: “The couple went to reception and were hysterical.

“The man said he wanted to get out of the room ASAP.

“When they were asked why they wanted to move, the man said he had seen a ghost. Staff didn’t believe it but then they were shown the picture.

“They were upset and said the image of the child was crying and crying and it was moving in the mirror. The guest was properly shaken.”

An investigation has been launched to find out if staff have witnessed spooky occurrences in room No 307. The couple in the room were staying on their own and had no children.

A spokesman for the hotel group said: “We have to be careful because we do not want to upset people, so we have closed off the room to check that there is nothing untoward there.

“We have to investigate it. Anyone coming in is not given that room until we have done our full investigation.

“We are speaking to housekeeping to see if there is anything that would support what has been said by the guest.”

The photograph was taken on Bank Holiday Monday. The spokesman said the hotel would give the room “a good clean out”.

He added: “We are quite confident there is nothing untoward.”

I'm a writer, a runner, and a hell of a coffee drinker residing in Los Angeles. I'm currently working on a book about Doris Bither and her terrifying account of a haunting in Culver City, California. The case was dubbed "The Entity" and it stands to be one of the most controversial cases ever to be studied by parapsychologists.

    That was my take. They do it on purpose. I mean, what else do they do but manufacture stories?

    When a news agency can’t afford real investigation they need to fill pages somehow. Of course I use the term “news agency” very lightly.

    Though laughable, you gotta give the writers credit for throwing in words and phrases like hysterical, spine-tingling image, the guest was properly shaken, and my fave- “… we have closed off the room to check that there is nothing untoward there.” I’m laughing even as I type this lol.
