Black Country mother claims to have caught ghost on camera at Birmingham's Victorian back-to backs

Ella Reeve, 30, snapped the ethereal figure during a visit to the Birmingham Back to Back museum – a 19th-century courtyard of working people's houses run by the National Trust.

The mother-of-two, from Wolverhampton, visited with her 81-year-old nan, as her late grandad was brought up in similar houses and she wanted to see how he might have lived.

Miss Reeve said the historic museum gave her a 'weird feeling' – but she had no idea she'd captured a spooky spectre on camera until she got home and looked through her pictures.

She said she is adamant there was no one else in the room and is convinced she managed to capture a ghost on camera.

"My grandad died two years ago, when he was 93, and I was absolutely devastated - we were so close," she said.

"I'd heard about the museum and knew he grew up in houses like that, so I wanted to visit to get that nostalgic feeling and feel a bit closer to him.

"When we went in I got a bit of a weird feeling and it was all a bit eerie - but it seemed fine when we were walking around.

"When we went into one room, I was left in there on my own as everyone else carried on upstairs and I decided to get a quick picture before joining them.

"When I was in there I got a really funny feeling - it went ice cold, and I was all tingly and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. But I didn't think too much of it, and carried on around the museum. When I got home and was scrolling through my pictures, I saw on one of them there was a white mist.

"I thought maybe it was just the flash of my camera.

"But when I looked at the one from the bedroom, I could see a shadow - even though nobody had been in the room with me. I knew it wasn't mine - the outline didn't fit with my shape, and it looked like a man's shadow.

"As I looked closer, I saw there was no shadow on the bed, just the wall - if someone had been in there with me the shadow would've fallen on the bed as well.

"It was very weird, and it sent shivers down my spine.

"It is quite comforting to think it might be someone I know though.

"I don't think that it was a bad presence though."
