Bride claims her dead daughter appeared in her wedding photos

A bride has gone viral after making creepy claims that her daughter's spirit showed up in her wedding snaps.

In a TikTok that's racked up a staggering 1.4 million views, Leah (@leah29murphy) shared the harrowing story of her big day.

"I don’t believe in many things," Leah wrote in the text overlay. "But I believe she was there to watch myself and her dad get married in honor of her."

The video shows a wholesome photo of the bride and groom sharing a kiss – but on closer inspection, there appears to be a hazy figure mirroring a small child in the background, standing by the trees.

"I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes," Leah told Indy100. "I went straight in to show my husband and we both just sat there in shock. We kept looking at the photo zooming in.

"I tried so hard to include her in our wedding, and I take so much comfort knowing she was with us on our special day."

Leah's video was soon flooded with heartfelt comments, with many claiming to have seen the "spirit" ahead of being highlighted.
