Ghost hunters claim they have discovered a new spirit in Britain's most haunted house - after snapping a picture of a 'female child ghoul' staring straight at the camera.
Jason Whitnell, 49 and his team visited the infamous 30 East Drive in Pontefract, West Yorks, dubbed 'the home of the Black Monk' for its connection with what is reportedly Europe's most violent poltergeist.
Jason claims while the team were taking routine pictures of the outside of the house they spotted the spectral dark figure of a child.

Another eerie snap taken with a night-vision camera on the same evening shows a dark figure inside a room in the home.
Exhilarated Jason, from Barnet, Hertfordshire, said the snaps are definitive proof a new ghost is now haunting the home, which first hit the headlines in the 1960s as the site of one of Britain's most notorious alleged hauntings.

He said: 'We always knew there was more to this house than history would have you believe.
'When we arrived, we set up our equipment and split into two teams to try to increase the chance of obtaining some evidence.
'For the best part of the evening the house seemed very quiet and after five or so hours of investigations we rested.
'It was just after 3am that we had a cup of tea and decided to get an hour of sleep.
'All four of us settled down in the lounge, two fell asleep pretty much from the off but myself and Paul Cowan just couldn't settle.
'We went outside and stepped away from the house to take pictures of it.
'You can see the figure of what looks like a child standing there looking directly at us - it was a female figure staring our way.
'We have looked at the front of this house many times and have scoured it from top to bottom to confirm there's no mistakes.
'You simply can't unsee it once you've seen it.'
