A ghostly selfie is sending shivers down the spine¹ of social media users.

 

一张诡异的自拍照正让社交媒体用户们感到后背一凉。
 

 

The spooky image, posted by Twitter user @itsthemans, shows a couple smiling for a selfie taken on a smartphone... completely oblivious² to a woman's face that has inexplicably³ appeared behind them.

 

A mirrored window behind the couple shows their reflection - and that's when it gets really eerie⁴... while the reflection of the man holding the phone looks exactly as it should, the woman's face has turned to face the camera.

 

Originally from social media site 9gag.com, which enables users to doctor an image, and re-shared on Twitter alongside the caption⁵: 'What kinda devlish ting is going on?' the image has caught the imagination of social media users and been now shared more than 16,000 times.

 

While some took a while to look beyond the grinning couple, when they finally saw the suggestion of paranormal activity, they were suitably unnerved.

 

@teeyuh wrote on Twitter: 'It took me a minute to understand what was happening but when I did...'

 

@JunkieCentric was terrified by the shot, saying: 'I'm so scared right now I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight'
