WITCH TERRIFIES CHILD

The picture was taken at a home in the North Tonawanda district of New York state, near to Niagara - where the girl repeatedly told her parents that she was often scared by an old woman she called Peg.
The family told local newspaper Artvoice that the girl said Peg would regularly come into her bedroom in the dead of night.
Sometimes the mysterious presence would frighten the child so much she would
call for her parents, who came into her bedroom to always find nothing there.
Although they admitted they found the girl’s stories “creepy”, they said they were convinced it was nothing more than the usual overactive imagination of a child.

“Still, it is odd. My daughter would stare as if in a trance and say she saw a witch in the house.
“Then we take this picture and somehow – call it a shadow if you like – it just happens to be a ‘shadow’ in the form of a face of a witch.
“I’m looking at the couch right now and I can’t see any shadow like that. Who knows sometimes children because they are pure see things adults can’t see.” her dad said.
The family is planning to move out of the house in the historic Oliver Street District of the town - not, they say, because of the presence of Peg, but because it is a rented home and they are looking to buy.
