Ghost of Loved One Appears On Family Christmas Tree

Christmas not only comes with cheer but it also strange happenings. A certain family claims to have been visited at Christmas by the ghost of a loved one who passed away some years ago.

This claim was in fact made by a carer of the family after she had helped them put up their Christmas tree. The carer, Melanie Scholes, 31, said after putting up the tree, she sat down and was chatting with her client for about 15 minutes, when suddenly a bauble fell from the tree and smashed on the floor.

She said that at the moment this happened, she was chatting with her client about her deceased loved one who had passed away a few years ago from cancer.

She continued that as the glass bauble smashed, they had a fright and she looked up to see a face looking right up at her.

The spectral vision appears to be grey with a clear eye and nose - and Melanie believes it could be her colleague's deceased brother 'letting her now he was still around'.

She said the ghost smashed the glass to tell them that he was still around.

But it was not until later that afternoon when Melanie took a picture of the tree to send to her mum that she realized there was a face gazing right at her from among the branches.

"I showed the picture to my mum who saw the face first and showed me it back. She cropped it down a bit and said 'have you seen the face?'.

"I'd missed it at first and then I could see it. Everyone I've shown seems to be able to see the face and some people have even claimed they can see others around the tree too."

Melanie, who also runs a ghost hunting company, claims it is not the first time she has experienced paranormal activity in her work as a carer.
