People think they’ve spotted a ghost girl on Google Maps and we are shook

Nah.

There’s something about hearing the words “spotted ghost girl” that makes you want to go look at said “spotted ghost girl.”

Regardless of your individual feelings towards all things ghosts or girls, logic goes out the window, the intrigue simply becomes too much, and you find yourself pouring over images of seemingly innocuous landscapes to try and catch a potential glimpse of the afterlife.

Most of the time, it’s impossible to see anything.

There might be a slight blur on one point of the frame, maybe a faint outline of something that could maybe be mistaken for a person, but at the end of the day, these photos usually end up being ever-so-slightly disappointing.

One such photo has surfaced as of late, however, that definitely shows someone in the shot.

Now, whether it’s a ghost or simply a reflection of a living person (or even a mannequin, who knows like), remains to be seen, but either way, it’s still fairly creepy.

As well as this, the positioning of the so-called “ghost girl” is quite strange too, suggesting that it wouldn’t be able to be a reflection.

Sure look, have a look for yourself anyway.

The “ghost girl” was first drawn attention to by the Daily Star, who said that she was spotted on Google Maps in Mexico.

The publication didn’t provide a link back to the exact place where the “ghost” was seen so it is unforch impossible to find that location yourself (unless you have a stunning amount of free time on your hands, which we do not).

Similarly, finding another version of the photo that doesn’t include the Star’s edits hasn’t proved easy, so it could be fair to say that this photo could easily be a fake.

After all, anyone with a basic knowledge of Photoshop could stick a severed head onto a picture.

Whatever the truth, the picture is creepy.

And at the end of the day, we’re all wired to want to look at creepy things that scare us, so let’s just roll with it and pretend that there is absolutely a girl ghost hanging out in Mexico floating above a car windshield at the moment.

Ideal.
