Express... A YOUNG mum believes the ghost of a family friend may have come to her home because they were not able to meet her baby in life - after the tot appeared to spot the spirit and CHASE IT on camera. Jessica Lewis, 26, was filming nine-month-old Nylah playing when an unknown shape whizzed past that she says the baby spotted and then crawled after - and has been waving at unseen things since.
The mum-of-one believes the shape could have been the spirit of a family friend who had been eager to meet Nylah but tragically passed away just a few months before she was born. Related articles

The spooky sighting was made on the anniversary of the friend's death and Ms Lewis claims that the baby has been interested in the exact spot where the shape vanished ever since.
Ms Lewis, from Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, said: "I didn't see it straight away. I'm always videoing my daughter but when I watched the footage a couple of days later I was like 'oh my God, what is that?'.
"The shape even makes a noise. I didn't hear this at the time, I only heard it when I watched the video back.
"Nothing was going on in the room at the time, it was just me and Nylah there.

"Nylah is very energetic and interested in everything. She is very friendly and does tend to crawl towards anybody that she likes.
"When you watch the video you can see Nylah's eyes catch it and she goes towards wherever it went.
"Since then she keep going over to that same spot, which where the chimney breast was, and she keeps waving at it.
"A family friend of ours was looking forward to meeting Nylah but she sadly passed away before Nylah was born. It was very sudden and unexpected - she was not even 60.
"The day Nylah saw the shape was the anniversary of her death.
"I would not be freaked out if it was her visiting us. It is not scaring me much. Whatever it is must be friendly as Nylah was waving at it.
"I am not afraid to be home alone when my partner [Christian May] is out."
The footage is Ms Lewis's first paranormal experience however ever since she has had lights flickering in the house and Nylah has been waving at someone even though no one is there.
