Are these the boots of a dead SAMURAI? Ghostly image of a pair of feet behind a little girl standing on a Japanese shore ‘near warrior tombs’ sparks internet frenzy Are these the ghostly disembodied boots of a samurai soldier?

Chatter online after mysterious image emerges of a little girl The photograph was taken in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, last year A black pair of boots appear behind the small child However, there is no evidence of anyone else in other photos ‘I know there are several very old samurai tombs’ nearby The photographer purportedly insists it has not been photoshopped Could these be the boots of a disembodied samurai soldier, lingering mysteriously behind this little girl? A spooky dark visage that appears behind the child in this photograph has sparked online rumours of a ghost.

This photograph was captured in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan – ‘nearby some samurai tombs’, apparently – late last year. The Reddit user who posted it online – a friend of the photographer – insisted it was ‘not photoshopped’ and that paranormal forces could be at work.

‘I’m not saying it’s anything – just that it looks an awful lot like disembodied boots and legs…’ ‘Obiaruf ‘ told users. Eerie: A pair of black boots are clearly seen behind the little girl – even though her photographer father apparently does not recall a person standing there Another conspirator suggested they could be combat boots from the World War II era. ‘My grandfather was in the pacific theater (Okinawa Japan) in WWII and I recognize what the man in the background is wearing. Its a US Navy Uniform from WWII.’

He then suggested they appeared to be ‘samurai boots to me’. ‘I know there are several very old samurai tombs nearby. ‘Again, not saying that this is what is there, just that, based on preliminary research, this is my best guess…’

But not everyone was so convinced by the tricky picture. Some users suggested it was likely an optical illusion – a trick of the light – or the presence of a real-life human being. Or both. ‘Looks like a living person in boots and dark pants and a light blue, possibly denim colored shirt,’ said Jack_Shid.
