A couple has been left disturbed after they spotted the "ghost of a little boy" in a seemingly innocent picture.

The bizarre image shows a worker on board an excavator in Victoria, Australia. It was shared on Facebook by the man's bosses but his wife, named only as Felicia, soon spotted something eerie.

When zoomed in on, the photo appears to show a small figure. And some have questioned whether it could be a child in ghost form.

Felicia told Aussie news outlet 7Life: "The photo was taken by my husband’s boss just to put up on the company’s Facebook page. When I first saw the photo, I thought, ‘What’s that?’ … [I] enlarged it and thought, ‘That looks like a small child’."

She later showed the snap to her husband who features in it before asking for opinions on Facebook.

“We were like ‘WTF’. It really blew my mind,” Felicia went on. "I had then sent it to my other kids and they straight away said: ‘Whose kid is it?’.”

Hundreds of people chimed in and gave their views.

But there were mixed opinions with some believing it was a "little boy in a dark grey onesie" and others saying: "I can see two little kids, wow".

While the ghoul was spotted in woodland in the depths of the Land Down Under, the Daily Star has reported the spirits of dead children are haunting beauty spots much closer to home.

In February, we reported walkers at a popular nature reserve had been terrorised by the ghost of a black-eyed girl.

Supernatural enthusiasts claimed “seriously creepy footage” showed spirits were roaming Cannock Chase in Staffordshire.

It was previously claimed a Bigfoot-type creature had been spotted in the same woods. Investigator Lee Brickley discovered a frightening 41cm footprint that “proved” the beast definitely exists.
