Can you spot the 'ghost' in this photo?

A man who took a photo on a high street sees what he believes is the face of a ghost in the snap.

Dave Aisthorpe, from Burton, took the photo in the town at midnight on Saturday, March 16 when waiting to collect his daughter from work.

He snapped a few photographs of the town, but didn't see the mysterious face until the following day, StaffordshireLive reports .

This picture was taken when Mr Aisthorpe was standing near the Olde Royal Oak, in Burton's market place.

A shape, potentially a face, can be seen looking towards the riverside, next to St Modwen's Church.

"I didn't intend to find anything," Mr Aisthorpe, 55, an administration officer from Anglesey Road, in Burton said.

"My daughter works at the Lord Burton, I'd gone to pick her up and went for a bit of a wander.

"I wasn't looking for anything specific, I didn't look until Sunday morning or afternoon.

"I just thought wow, that's good.

"I tried to debunk what's there by looking at light sources, but I couldn't because of it being that time of night. There was no-one around."

Mr Aisthorpe is no stranger to the paranormal, as he is part of a number of investigation groups, including a number of groups in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

He has been part of investigations at a number of sites up and down the country, including local areas such as Tutbury Castle and Gresley Old Hall.

Mr Aisthorpe said the area had been known to have experienced quite a lot of unexplained "activity" in the past.

He added: "There's been girls seen, monks, it's a very old burial site, the Abbey as well, it's supposed to be very active."
