A ghostly apparition has been captured on a baby monitor, hovering over a sleeping eight-week-old girl.

Father Jonathan Murphy, 32, from Consett, County Durham, was checking on his daughter when a white orb floated into her room and floated above her sleeping form.

As he watched, the ghostly light hovered over the baby before coming very close to him.

Murphy ran downstairs to his partner Victoria Snowdon, 22, who had been watching the incident unfold on the baby monitor.

Noticing the light was still visible on the monitor’s screen, he went back into the room and removed his sleeping daughter because he was so afraid of what was happening.

“The first thing I thought was ‘is that a ghost’,” Murphy told the Daily Mirror. “I know it seems like a joke, but it’s inexplicable.

“We still don’t know what it could be. No cars were passing by and we keep the room dark.

“It must have lasted about a minute to a minute-and-a-half in total. We were completely freaked out.”
