A tourist visiting Alcatraz claims to have captured a ghost while snapping pictures in the prison.
“From that point on I wasn’t interested in the Alcatraz tour anymore. I just kept looking at the picture over and over again,” said Sheila Sillery-Walsh.
Sillery-Walsh is a teacher’s assistant from the UK, according to The Huffinton Post. She took the photo with her iPhone and immediately showed it to her partner, Paul Rice.
Rice said that he was skeptical about ghosts before seeing this photo, but there is no other way to explain it. The picture has gotten plenty of other guests spooked too!
Rice said, “When I first saw the photo, I tried to rationalize the female figure away by saying it was just Sheila's reflection.” Once he looked closer, he realized that the figure was wearing dated clothing and was certainly not his partner.
