A GHOSTLY light was filmed floating over a baby’s cot as a shocked dad checked in on his 8-week-old child.

    The recording, made by a baby monitor, shows Jonathan Murphy, 32, leaning over baby Rosie after entering her bedroom earlier Sunday evening.

    As he does so a misty white light appears in the top left hand part of the screen before a distinctive white orb-shape begins to float back and forth above Rosie.

    At one point the orb passes very close to Murphy during the spooky incident at their home in Consett, County Durham, in England.

    Murphy said that he had gone up to check on the baby when he first noticed the white light.

    After coming downstairs he and partner Victoria Snowdon, 22, watched the recording the monitor had taken which confirmed what he had seen.

    He said, “The first thing I thought was ‘is that a ghost.’

    “I know it seems like a joke, but it’s inexplicable.

    “We still don’t know what it could be.

    “No cars were passing by and we keep the room dark.”

    Murphy, a betting shop manager, went back upstairs after watching the video and saw the light was still there.

    “It must have lasted about a minute to a minute-and-a-half in total,” he said.

    He said the couple was “completely freaked out” by what they had seen.

    “Victoria was reluctant to let me take the baby back upstairs again,” he said.

    “She was even more worried about it than me.”

    Murphy said the mysterious light has not reappeared at their home since and that they had not seen anything like this there before.

    Snowdon said, “Wish I’d gotten my camera quicker cos it was there before he even went in the room so it couldn’t have been a reflection or anything!

    “I’ve never believed in ghosts or anything ... Just have no idea what it could be! Bit creeped out!”
