Could these be the boots of a disembodied samurai soldier, lingering mysteriously behind this little girl?
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.
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.
'I'm not saying it's anything - just that it looks an awful lot like disembodied boots and legs...' 'Obiaruf ' told users.



He then suggested they appeared to be 'samurai boots to me'.
'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.


However, in this other picture, the black boots have returned
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.
'Looks like a living person in boots and dark pants and a light blue, possibly denim colored shirt,' said Jack_Shid.

Sceptics have noted the presence of a blue piece of fabric lingering behind the little girl
Because of the perspective, the rest of the person is hidden behind the girl
Last month, a chilling image emerged on the 'Toowoomba Ghost Chasers' Facebook past, with its owner claiming it showed the ghost on a young drowning victim.
The photograph, which was taken in 2014, was posted on Facebook by Australian Kim Davison, from Queensland.
