A photo showing a 'ghost wielding an
axe' and peering around a doorway on board an old military decommissioned vessel
has caused quite a stir. The photo was posted on Imgur by a dock worker named
Stevgoldhound.
"Last month we came into dry
dock to carry out refit and repairs. Next to us was an old Military frigate
being broken down for scrap. Once all the sensitive stuff had been removed, the
dock workers were free to go on. The dock foreman, 'John' went on board first
with a camera to take pictures of work areas. He later sent all of the pics to
his boss, who upon seeing this one, called John straight away asking 'Who is
the guy with the axe at the edge of the camera flash?' John had no idea. He
never saw anyone. Due to the fact that it was a military vessel the police were
called.
"A search was carried out but no one was found. There
was one way on and off the ship, and that was by a gangway covered by
CCTV."Stevgoldhound said
An Imgur user helped Stevgoldhound
to clean up the image, and adjusted the light levels to reveal an even more
haunting picture.
Of course it might be a hoax, but when the enhanced image was posted on Reddit, some users suggested another explanation.

"It just looks like an old hobo
who was startled that someone was in his home taking pictures so he grabbed an
axe and peeked around a corner to see what was up," said one.
Another added:
"If this man had been living on
the vessel for any amount of time he knows the floor layout better than a bunch
of random cops.
"The ships are huge, you could disappear for a long
time in one."
But Stevgoldhound is not convinced:
I am a sceptic. Maybe its a trick of
the flash reflecting off something, but if you really zoom in you can just make
out the f*****s face, ear, collar of his jacket and the f*****g axe in a meaty
f*****g fist. Now it could be John blowing smoke up my ass, but when he was
telling the story he seemed genuinely rattled. And the guy in the pic looks
nothing any of the other workers we met at the dock. This gave me serious
goosebumps. Needless to say, I did not go on board for a look."
Do you think the man with the axe is a ghost?
