A Google Maps user has reported a spooky sighting while browsing Street View imagery of a shopping mall in France. The image, captured in what appears to be a food court, shows a vague, translucent figure that some have likened to a ghost.
The figure appears to be moving at speed, leaving a blue hue behind it. A shoe, leg, and faint facial features are discernible, with the background visible through the outline. The user who discovered the image posted it on Reddit, commenting: 'I found this ghost walking by, I guess he was shopping.'
Other users responded with humour, with one referencing the film Ghostbusters: 'When there's something strange, in your neighbourhood…' However, experts suggest the phenomenon is likely a technical glitch rather than a paranormal encounter.
Google Street View uses a three-dimensional camera that captures multiple images at high speed, which are then stitched together. If a person or object moves during the capture process, it can create a distorted, ghost-like effect. This is the probable explanation for the eerie image.
