A ghost? A pair of feet appears behind little girl who posed near Japanese warrior tombs(Photos)

A spooky dark visage that appears behind the child in this photograph has sparked online rumours of a ghost.This photograph was captured in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan - 'nearby some samurai tombs', apparently - late last year. 

According to Daily mail,the Reddit user who posted it online - a friend of the photographer - insisted it was 'not photoshopped' and that paranormal forces could be at work.He said they only saw the
feet after the photographer was going through the photos stored in his memory card.

'I'm not saying it's anything - just that it looks an awful lot like disembodied boots and legs...' 'Obiaruf ' told users. I know there are several very old samurai tombs nearby. 'Again, not saying that this is what is there, just that, based on preliminary research, this is my best guess...'

Photographs from the same set show the little girl with nothing behind her and the snapper 'swears' there was nothing behind her at the time. 

Another conspirator suggested they could be combat boots from the World War II era.

'My grandfather was in the pacific theater (Okinawa Japan) in WWII and I recognize what the man in the background is wearing. Its a US Navy Uniform from WWII.'

But not everyone was so convinced by the tricky picture.

Some users suggested it was likely an optical illusion - a trick of the light - or the presence of a real-life human being. Or both.
