The creepy photos were taken by Oxford resident Michelle Morris in the courtyard of the old Langsmead house, where no one has lived for many years. The British woman claims that she managed to photograph the nanny, by whose oversight a child died on the territory of the mansion in the 1920s. Pictures with the ghost appeared in many media.

Photos of Michelle Morris show a figure in a white dress standing in the window of a long-empty two-story house. According to legend, there once lived a family whose child died after falling from a tree. According to Ms. Morris, the ghost of the grief-stricken governess has settled in the old building forever.

"Together with a group of like-minded people, we staged a night outing to the Langsmead house. Something strange was going on on the second floor," said a woman who is a member of the ghostbusters club.

According to Morris, she is far from the first to see ghosts in the old mansion. The woman told how the ghost of a boy in early XX century clothes appeared to some fans of mysticism, others heard his quiet whisper:

"I fell out of a tree."

Morris says she intends to continue the investigation.

"The photos I took recently show that I am looking in the right place," the Briton believes.

This is not the first time that residents of the United Kingdom manage to film spirits. However, they are most often noticed in pubs.

Original news

A ghost of a guilt-ridden nanny who let a child die in her care has been spotted in the window of a haunted house.

The spooky photograph was taken by Michelle Morris at Langsmeade House in Oxford, which the 42-year-old claims was empty at the time.

It is believed the ghostly figure is that of a nanny who was riddled with guilt after a child died in her care after falling out of a tree around the time of World War II.

Michelle Morris, who also studies Forensic Psychology at the Open University, saw the nanny in an upstairs window whilst on a ghost hunt in Oxford.

The legend is believed to be a nanny who remains in the house because she feels guilty after a child died 'falling out of a tree' whilst under her care.

Langsmeade House in Oxford was empty at the time of the picture, except for the ghostly figure on the top floor of the haunted building.

Forensic psychology student and amateur spook sleuth Michelle said: "I was outside with a group of guests and we were investigating the grounds.

"We decided to head towards the house and when I looked up there was a lot of activity on the top floor.

Chilling ghost stories from Mirror readers

"That's when I started taking photos as I knew it was something paranormal."

Langsmeade House was built in 1924 and there have been a number of reported sightings of ghosts from the bed and breakfast's guests.

"A few guests have seen a young boy in old fashioned clothing cross the corridor on the first floor," it is claimed on the B&B's website.

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
