A schoolboy has captured eerie footage of what he claims is a ghost striding towards banisters at his home.

Terrified Reece Pitman, 12, heard whistling — and used his mobile to film the shadowy being.

It came days after his nine-year-old sister complained that someone was mysteriously finishing her jigsaws at night.

The lad showed the amazing footage — which must be seen to be believed — to mum Tonia, 38.

She said: “Reece looked scared witless.

“In the clip a white shadow appears from my bedroom followed by the dark image of a man.

"It crosses the landing and disappears when it reaches the banisters.”

Tonia, of Solihull, Birmingham, said she consulted a psychic who told her the ghost could be friendly.

Sales assistant Tonia said: “I’ve had a tough time recently as my husband left me. I didn’t believe in ghosts — but I’m thinking of the spectre as my guardian angel.”

Julian Banks of the British Paranormal Society said the film was “potentially the best image of a ghost in years”.
