A psychic medium was convinced he heard a "ghost child" calling for help after he purchased a mirror from an antiques shop.
Ian Griffiths, founder of paranormal investigation group Walking with Spirit, claimed he captured a young girl image from the mirror and was struck by the "ghostly presence" shortly after he brought it back from the shop in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
To prove his theory, Ian recorded a video showing him trying to communicate with the spirit using an electronic voice phenomena (EVP) device.
In the clip, filmed in a pitch-black environment, Ian captures what he believed to be an "unexplained rattling" in the background.
When he introduces that he is from a community, the recorder apparently picks up some sound and Ian interprets it as "you help me".
He told Staffordshire Live: "I brought a mirror that was haunted from a shop in Hinckley.
"I have had some amazing things from it such as EVPs but I had these screen shots sent me from my live recording. These are photos of the spirit child from the mirror. I live alone and no children were here.
"I got it from an antique shop in Hinckley few months ago.
"The child's name is Alison Marie.
"I have got her voice saying her name and her voice saying you can help me."
'Ghosts' on camera
Through the séance, he understood that the spirit has put on a nice voice.
"She wasn't that old, around nine years old, but you can get older nasty spirits that pretend to be children or try to be nice," he added.
"It was definitely spooky at the time. I have done this for nearly 20 and this is the only thing that puts me on edge."
