Grandson shares haunting image of a man at the window of his dead grandfather's 'empty' house - and believes it to be the ghost of his 'pop'

A man has shared a photo he believes shows a ghostly figure standing at the window of his dead grandfather's empty home. 

The photo taken by the real estate agent who is selling the house was forwarded to the family who were unnerved by the apparent figure at the window even though the house was believed to be empty.

When the man posted the photos to Facebook on Tuesday, he said the house in Port Victoria, South Australia, was empty when the photos were taken. 

'When my pop passed away we had to sell his house in Port Victoria,' he wrote.

'The real estate agent took these photos and sent them to my mum straight away.

The house of the man late grandfather on a first glance shows no image of a ghostly figure

'There was nobody else at the property at the time'. 

At first glance, the photo of the house with a yellow 'SOLD' sign out the front reveals nothing out of the ordinary.

But a close-up image showed a slim figure positioned at the open kitchen window  who appeared to be washing some dishes. 

The man said when his mother sent him the photos, he immediately noticed the figure in the window. 

'She sent me the photos while I was on the phone to her and I said "who is in the window?"' 

'She freaked out and hung up on me.'

The man believes the figure might have been a younger version of his grandfather.   

'He was a bigger bloke but the figure looks slim so maybe it's a younger version of him,' the grandson guessed.        

Facebook users were quick to comment on the photograph, which now has more than 700 reactions. 

'It's your pop in the window, I've got a strong feeling it's him saying his last goodbyes and saying he's watching over you,' one said. 

'This really upsets me... does this mean I'm still going to be doing dishes after I die?' another wrote.  

A third said: 'Oh wow scary. Congrats to the new owners.'
