Is this a ghost caught on camera or just smoke and mirrors?

A photograph claiming to show ghostly figures in puff of cigarette smoke is dividing opinion.

The photo was posted to the Facebook page Australian Hauntings over the weekend and apparently reveals the spectral faces of Lynette Glass’s parents on New Year’s Eve in 2013.

Lynette told the group she had been building up the courage to post the photo ever since she took it more than three years ago.

“I took alot of photo's but this one particular one was taken during the countdown to midnite on New Years Eve (sic),” she wrote.

“I drew out on some smoke and wished both of my parents a Happy New Year - even though they both passed on approx 20 years ago.


“When I got home I went through my photo's and found this one, can anyone see what I can?”

Opinions were mixed.

Some claimed they could clearly see one, two or three figures. Others claimed the image had been doctored.

But there were also several commenters who said they could see nothing but smoke.

To assist the amateur paranormal investigators, Lynette also posted a picture of her two parents to check if anyone else could confirm they had come back to celebrate the New Year.
