Ghost of girl who drowned in disaster 'spotted floating' near her memorial

Paranormal investigators claim to have captured eerie footage that shows the "floating" ghost of a little girl who drowned in a mining disaster nearly 200 years ago.

Ghost hunters Linzi and Lee Steer initially assumed they hadn't encountered any spirits during their trip to Huskar Pit, near Silkstone, South Yorkshire, on June 24, but then they watched their footage back.

After arriving home, however, the pair were shown an eerie screenshot from their memorial site live stream, which seems to show one of the 26 children who tragically drowned when a mine shaft flooded back in 1838.
