While we discussing ghost here is another one to check out O.o



Last month, a chilling image emerged on the 'Toowoomba Ghost Chasers' Facebook past, with its owner claiming it showed the ghost on a young drowning victim.

The photograph, which was taken in 2014, was posted on Facebook by Australian Kim Davison, from Queensland.

Photo was taken at Murphy's Hole which is the same location 13-year-old Doreen O'Sullivan drowned in 1915

Was it Doreen O'Sullivan' ghost? Ms Davison claims her daughter's leg was grabbed by something in the water

The image appeared to show two women and four children swimming at Murphy's Hole in the Lockyer River, south-east Queensland.

But Ms Davison and Jessie Lu, the other adult in the photo, were adamant they were only accompanied by three children.

It provoked fierce discussion online after it was revealed a little girl had died in the watering hole a century prior.

A Brisbane Courier newspaper clipping from November 22 1913 included a death notice for a little girl who died in that watering hole.

'Doreen O Sullivan, aged 13 years, eldest daughter of Mr. James O'Sullivan was accidentally drowned whilst bathing in the Lockyer Creek on Friday afternoon,' the notice read.

'Nearly an hour elapsed, before the body was recovered. The spot, which has always been considered dangerous, is known as Murphy's Hole, and is over 20 foot deep.

Ms Davison insisted: 'At the time of taking this photo there was nothing between us.

'I'm holding the little girl and that white head next to me with horns is not human, I can promise you that.

'Its fingers are on my shoulder and on my daughter's arm. They are long skeletal type fingers.'

An admin from the Toowoomba Ghost Chasers Facebook page posted a negative version of the image, saying: 'Light flare will always show up as black shadowing when the photo is inverted.. and in this case the light flare is coming from full sunlight reflecting off the water onto the child'

Tragic Doreen O'Sullivan was only 13 when she accidentally drowned in the swimming hole in 1915

In my opinion, it’s nothing more than a splash of water. Notice the child facing away from the camera – their left arm has just surfaced, causing a splash. Or an effect due to overexposure. But my bet is on a splash of water.
