Sharp-eyed fans of Britain's Got Talent are convinced they've worked out the secrets of a spectacular illusion that left judge Amanda Holden terrified.
The magic trick was performed by The Haunting's Elizabeth during the first live semi-final earlier this week, but viewers are certain they know how it was done - because of a cameraman was spotted hiding in the wings.
Judge Amanda Holden was freaked out by the spooky magician, who took her down into the basement of the Hammersmith Apollo theatre, where it is staged, to introduce her to so-called ghosts Agatha and daughter Florence.
The terrified BGT judge screamed as she was seemingly grabbed by Florence, before mum Agatha smashed through a mirror and led her back upstairs, the Manchester Evening News reports.
When they appeared on stage, Agatha had transformed into Elizabeth - and Amanda was so scared she let out a four-letter expletive as she tried to work out what had happened.
But despite Amanda’s terror, viewers thing they’ve worked out how the trick was done - and are blaming a cameraman who seemed to be standing in the wrong place, exposing Elizabeth hiding round the corner as Amanda came up the stairs.
Some expressed their thoughts on Twitter, with one joking that the cameraman could be sacked.
One viewer said: "#BGT sorry Elizabeth the trick was ruined as the camera picked you up walking down the stairs as Amanda was walking up!! Poor semi final act."
A second said: "The Haunting...anyone else see the other girl coming out of the stairs to take over from “Agatha”?"
Another asked: "Did anyone else notice the woman standing on the stairs ready to swap over on the haunting act?"
A fourth said: "The haunting wasn't even real, you could see the woman change on the stairs!"
Another joked: "The haunting’s camera man after realising he’s getting sacked for exposing the act as fake at the stairs"
The Britain's Got Talent final takes place on Sunday from 7.30pm.
