10 Horrifying Ghost Stories That Happened In Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

8. The Horror Of A Ghost Photobombing A Flawless Snapchat Selfie

For any seasoned smart phone-snapper there is nothing worse than dedicating hours of your life to painfully posturing and pinching your cheeks in pursuit of a flawless snapchat selfie and uploading it without running a photobomb diagnostic only to discover an inebriated oaf, 20 Jaëgers deep, gurning in the background. Nothing. Worse. It's the modern day equivalent of finding a fly in your soup. So, friends Kayley Atkinson and Victoria Greeves can attest to having suffered the most blood-curling photobomb in human history after their perfectly executed selfie was ruined by the wraith of an elderly Victorian lady laughing menacingly in the background. The two girls were presumably enjoying a few cocktails on the Quayside in late October last year when they decided to document the occasion, as most people tend to do these days, and assumed the "selfie position". Click, flash, snapchat sent, carry on with the drinking. It was only later when a terrified Kayley frantically called her friend of six years did the pair discover the cackling figure peering between them as they struck their best selfie pose. What makes it even more spine-chilling is the girls insisted "the bar was dead" (someone sound the irony klaxon) when they took the photo. A horrified Victoria immediately eradicated the picture from her phone, presumably to avoid a similar scenario to that in The Ring when a vengeful ghost crawls out of a TV.
