Ghost monk photobombs mum's selfie inside one of UK's spookiest homes

A paranormal-obsessed mum claims the infamous Black Monk of Pontefract could have photobombed her mirror selfie - after she spotted a sinister 'face' lurking behind her in the haunted house. Beth Jade spent a night in what's dubbed one of the UK's spookiest homes, 30 East Drive, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, to contact the phantom many claim haunts its rooms.

The 29-year-old has since revealed images shot through a full-length mirror which she believes contains a ghostly face that could be the dreaded Black Monk at the top of the stairs. Her frightening snaps show a spooky silhouette with 'chiselled cheekbones and flaring nostrils' gazing down from inside a toy pram.

The mum-of-three claims the doll that was sitting inside had been removed by her 24-year-old sister Casey Lee earlier in the night to 'entice spirits'. Beth only spotted the 'encounter' when she got home the next day but admits if she'd seen it while still in the house she'd have insisted on leaving.
