A resident of Wisconsin, USA, was horrified when, in an ordinary family photo, he found a translucent brush that touched his son's leg.
Four days before this picture was taken, 43-year-old Chris Downing was admitted to hospital with a heroin overdose and miraculously survived clinical death.
While the doctors resuscitated him after his heartbeat stopped, Chris remembered flying for a long time through the bright long tunnel.
After leaving the hospital four days later, Chris Downing was a completely different person. He was determined to quit drugs and, moreover, became very religious. In addition, he decided to leave the city to the mother of his children, who offered him to live in their house (previously Chris lived alone).
In memory of this, he was photographed, hugging his son Kyle and daughter Alex, who came to pick him up. The picture was taken in May 2012 in a regular hotel room, where Chris stayed only for a day.
After that, the man left with the children, but a week later he received an alarmed call from Alexa's daughter. The girl was very scared. She saw in the photo a strange, ghostly hand that reached from somewhere to the left and held her brother Kyle by the leg.
The first thought that slipped through the man was that he "grabbed" someone from the other world with him into this world when he was in clinical death.
“I was in a very difficult position those days in my life. Four days before this photo, I almost died of an overdose, and before that I was heavily addicted to drugs. But this strange hand scared me more than anything else. There was nothing unusual about my room that night. I read stories that when a ghost is around, there are problems with electricity and so on, but everything was fine."

Chris posted the photo on his Facebook page and did not look closely at it, but his daughter soon saw something strange on it.
“She said there was a strange hand on him. I thought it was about my hand, but then she said to look at Kyle's feet and I looked over there and practically screamed out loud "Oh, God!". I have no idea what it is and thought I was going crazy. I showed the picture to my son and he was so scared that he burst into tears and ran to his room."
Later, the son told his father that at the moment when the photo was taken, he did not feel anything touching his leg. Chris himself thinks that it was something that he brought with him from the other world. Good or bad, he doesn't know. But he admits that he used to be a big skeptic about the paranormal, and now his opinion has changed.
Over the years, Chris hasn't taken drugs anymore, but he doesn't stop thinking about that frightening family photo. He assures that the picture is 100% authentic and that this hand probably belongs to a ghost. Judging by the slightly gnarled fingers, Chris thinks it's an old man's hand. But many others are sure that the child's hand is in the photo, since the fingers are small.
“I think I went to a very dark place during my clinical death and grabbed something from there on my return. Maybe it was because of this spirit that I was able to come back, as he helped me, who knows. But this is the scariest thing I've seen in my life."
Chris is with the kids these days.
