21 year old decorator Jamie-Leigh
Brown, who was exploring a derelict hospital was left stunned after a photo she took in
the spooky building appeared to show the ghostly figure of a doctor.
Jamie-Leigh was walking the abandoned
corridors of St Thomas's Hospital
in Stockport - which closed down in 2004 after treating thousands of
psychiatric patients over the years - when she took the chilling
picture above. She
did not check the photo at the time as she and her and friends were too
concerned with the footsteps they were hearing above them - despite the
hospital having no usable staircases.
The group
became spooked and fled the building after only a few minutes and it was
not until later that Ms Brown discovered the haunting figure lurking in
the background of the shot.
She told The Sun:
'It freaked me out. It's standing in a lift shaft. It's really creepy
to think my friend was just heading towards the area where the ghost
was. We'd
only gone into the workhouse for a laugh and to look around. We kept
hearing noises above us like shuffling and footsteps but hadn't actually
seen anything.'
The
derelict building was once a Victorian workhouse known as The Grubber
and three years ago it featured in an episode of paranormal
investigation show Most Haunted.
Other
sightings of ghoulish figures have been made at the site, including a
'radiant woman dressed as a nurse or a nun' according to
paranormaldatabase.com - a website that lists reports of ghosts.
