Experts have been called in to examine the Google ghoul filmed at a former Victorian docklands which has a dark and sinister past. The woman dressed in long skirt, crisp blouse, bow tie, blue boater hat and scarf appears to be shimmering above the pavement. She was captured by the Google Street View cameras in Tiger Bay, Cardiff - the scene of murders and unsolved mysteries going back 200 years. "But what is really strange is that she doesn't appear as a full figure - you can't see all of her."

It looks like the exterior shot where Torchwood is based, as one would take the sidewalk elevator. Roald Dahl something or other?

I didn’t mean anyone here, mainly the author of the article and anyone who actually believed it. Sorry about that, was just surprised it would make it to publication.

There are no ghosts in the pic. It’s a real person and the bottom part of the camera lens was defracted, just like if you held a drinking glass up while looking ahead. The wooden poles are affected the same way.

Ridiculous. All the little columns and the pavement are also broken in this photo.

Google street-view photos are taken from moving vehicles.
