In October 2023, a man named Adityan was driving along a road in Kerala, India, with his wife and two small children in the backseat of the car, reports coasttocoastam.com.
At one point they passed an area where a specialized traffic camera had been installed, designed to record unbelted drivers or motorcyclists without helmets.
Since neither Adityan nor his wife, who was sitting next to him, were wearing seat belts, the camera identified them as violators and captured an image of their car.
RecentlyAdityan received information about the fine along with a photo, admitted his guilt and dutifully paid the fine.
However, when he looked at the photo of his car, he was perplexed. The image unmistakably shows a stranger peering from behind the driver’s seat, and this person doesn’t look like Adityan’s little children.
Adityan explained that there were only two adults in the car at the time the photo was taken, making the identity of the third person a complete mystery. When the photo went viral on social networks, many speculated that a ghost, possibly an elderly woman, was captured in the image.
Skeptics, on the other hand, argue that the anomaly could either be a distortion of the face of one of Adityan’s small children or a camera error.
