Is this "Saintly" figure spooky or what......

'Saintly' figure appears in fishy family photo

Another story from downunder. Is this spooky or what...

sintly figure
Saintly spectre ... a close-up of the photo shows a ghostly image

IT’S an intriguing story likely to confirm whether you’re a true believer or a true sceptic.

Twin brothers Phil and Mick Cahalane, 45, possess a family photo they claim shows their great-grandfather with the image of a “saintly” figure.

The photo, which was allegedly taken more than 100 years ago in Scotland, was first sighted by the Sydney pair as children when their mother produced it at a family gathering, The Mount Druitt Standard reports.

“What I heard was that he had gone on a boat trip out in the ocean somewhere and a really bad storm came through as he was fishing,” Phil, who lives in Quakers Hill, said.

“He started praying because he thought he was going to die. The storm passed and because he thought it was safe, he kept fishing, and that’s when he caught most of his fish.
“When he got to land he took a photo with all the fish he caught and this image showed up in the photo.”

The boys were told the figure was St Teresa of Avila . For the full story and more pictures go to The Mount Druitt Standard.
