Students of Stockton Riverside College in Thornaby-on-Tees, North Yorks in the have been left shocked after what appears to be a ghost was spotted in a classroom.

Dozens of students and staff have been queueing up to get a glimpse of the spectre in an IT lab after it was caught on camera, Sun UK reports.

The figure was caught on camera sitting attentively in front of a computer in the classroom at Stockton Riverside College in Thornaby-on-Tees, North Yorks.

However, some of the lecturers have said it might actually not be a ghost. Paul Abley, a games design lecturer at the college, told Gazette Live:

“We’ve had some people come down and look at it, and they’ve been shocked.

“But simply, it’s a reflection in the window from another classroom.

“It’s improbable, but if a student is in the other classroom then the light must bounce off about four windows and the door of a server cabinet.

“All the angles are just right, and makes this semi-transparent reflection show up in the perfect place.

“It looks like a ghost and a fair few people have thought it was one, as you don’t immediately know where it could have come from.
