A man claims his family is being haunted by the ghost of an old lady after he caught her on camera in his brother’s house.

When Luke Jackson got up for a cigarette in the middle of the night, he said he could hear ‘footsteps’ downstairs.

The 36-year-old turned on his phone’s flash and took a picture to see what was there.

He was left stunned as he discovered the ghostly figure of an ‘old woman’ wearing a purple cardigan.

The apparition was stood at the bottom of the stairs in his brother Tom’s house in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

After ruling out any other possible explanations, dad-of-three Luke is convinced the woman is the ghost of the house’s former tenant, who died 18 months ago.

Luke said: ‘I just can’t explain it. This baffles me.

 ‘If I’m being honest this thing has completely stumped me. I just don’t know what it is and the only explanation is that it’s a ghost.

‘It’s almost like photographing the Loch Ness Monster in its entirety – it’s the photo of a ghost that you never expect to have.

‘You sometimes have bits of the thing, arms and legs, but never a whole photo of the entire thing. This photo is almost too perfect.’

Mr Jackson said he had talked about the old lady before, who apparently had mobility problems and difficulty using the stairs.

The photo appears to show an old woman, clad in a black dress and a purple cardigan, leaning across in an apparent attempt to open the kitchen door.

Remembering the moment he took the photo, Mr Jackson said: ‘I heard the steps and I got my phone out to shine some light.

‘When I looked back at the shot that figure had just appeared. It’s completely baffled me.’

He now claims it is the clearest picture of a ghost he’s ever seen.
