Does this image show a GHOST girl with her teddy photobombing a family in the cinema?
Emma Johnson, 35, from Liverpool, waited for the screen at the Light Cinema in nearby New Brighton to empty before taking a snap with George, six, Ava, eight and first-time cinema-goer seven-month-old Harper.
But when the family, who were watching new Disney Pixar flick Finding Dory, checked the photo back at home they discovered they were seemingly not alone.
And carer Ms Johnson insists she was forced to tell her kids that the weird shape was a marketing ploy to promote the new Ghostbusters film to stop her children being scared.
She shared the snap, which was taken at 12.30pm last Tuesday, online - suggesting the 'ghost' could have been a girl who drowned near the coastal cinema in the past.
Emma said: "I wanted to take a selfie because it was the first time that Harper had been to the cinema but I was really self-conscious so I made sure that the cinema was empty.
"I even bumped into a friend who was on the back row and she assured me that there was no one there when I spoke to her later.
"It was only when we got home and checked the photo that we saw the ghost and I could make out a little girl and a teddy next to her. I didn't even think that it was possible to have a teddy bear ghost.
"My family are normally all quite sceptical, but everyone was a bit shocked when they saw it and I'm quite interested to find out what it could be.
"But we've had to hide it from the kids in case they are scared so we have just told them that it is an advert for Ghostbusters but my eldest is starting to cotton on now."
Ms Johnson admitted she was a spook-sceptic before the snap but her close encounter with the spectre has her intrigued by the paranormal.
