Is this a spirit pictured at scene of fatal crash?

This photograph has the entire world talking today.

This is the startling picture that has the whole Internet buzzing. Taken at the scene of a fatal road accident in the US state of Kentucky, many viewers believe it shows the spirit of a victim leaving their body, as paramedics attend to the scene.

The picture, posted by motorist Saul Vasquez, has received in excess of 5000 shares, and everyone has an opinion.

‘I took this picture just a few minutes ago from the cab of my truck it was an accident between campon and Stanton on the service road just off of the mountain parkway,’ wrote the photographer – who claims the image has not been manipulated in any fashion. ‘Zoom in and pay attention to the shadow just off the top of the state trooper hat. All I say is I hope everyone involved is okay.’

While many people differ on what the picture truly depicts, what is clear is that there is a pale, translucent shape in the vague shape of a man, appearing to lift skywards.
