A photograph of a ghost-like figure appearing at the window of an Alcatraz prison block has baffled the couple who took it.
The
spooky picture was taken by Sheila Sillery-Walsh at Alcatraz Federal
Penitentiary, off the coast of San Francisco, California.
The
former prison site, long considered to be one of the most haunted
places in the US, was once home to hundreds of notorious murderers, bank
robbers, and gangsters such as Al Capone.
In
the spooky image, the shadowy girl can be seen staring directly through
the window at the camera from inside the inmates' visitation waiting
room.
Teaching
assistant Sheila Sillery-Walsh from Birmingham took the photo on her
iPhone 5c when she visited the former prison in April while on holiday
in San Francisco with her partner, Paul Rice.
The
48-year-old said: 'Alcatraz Penitentiary is a must-see for any tourist.
However as soon as we entered the prison, everything felt very eerie. I
didn't feel comfortable there.
'Whilst doing an audio-tour of the place, I casually stopped to take a snap of the empty visitation block window on my iPhone.
'When
I glanced at the photo on my mobile, I saw this dark female figure in
the picture. I looked at the window again and there was no-one in the
room.
