An eerie photo from Argentina shows what appears to be a ghostly figure lingering in the background at the site of a sizeable fire. According to a local media report, the peculiar picture was shared on social media by the Municipality of Despeñaderos in a post wherein they commended local firefighters for quickly putting out an inferno that had erupted in the community last Tuesday. Part of an otherwise innocuous gallery of images from the fire, this particular photo caught the attention of people online when someone noticed an anomaly (seen isolated below) resembling a white robed figure seemingly watching the scene.

The spooky picture quickly spread like wildfire on Argentine social media, with many speculating that the mysterious 'watcher' could have been a ghost. Other observers had a more spiritual interpretation of the anomaly, suggesting that it may have been the Virgin Mary protecting the firefighters from danger. Of course, more skeptical individuals dismissed those theories in favor of the more prosaic explanation that the perceived figure was merely the product of pareidolia.
