It was shot by ghost hunter Mark Vernon, 50, who believes that the spirit even spoke to him.

"I was investigating it for 40 minutes - I caught a ghost, a shadow man, walking past my camera in broad daylight," he said.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he added: "If you listen carefully when it appears, I do believe he says "I'm here". He has a bit of a saucy mouth I'm afraid."

Mr Vernon, who has been a paranormal investigator for 35 years, said a team of ghosts he works with on investigations told him it was the spirit of Father Daniel, a monk who was based in the cathedral during the 1100s.

He is adamant there are more ghosts in the historic building.

Earlier this year, a social media user shared a photo of what appeared to be a ghoulish face pressed up against the upstairs window of the Stuart Hotel in Liverpool.

Twitter user @keswickbro told the Liverpool Echo: "I was looking on Google Street View to find a fish and chip shop in Walton, and I came across The Stuart Hotel.

"Something in the top left hand window caught my eye. It looks like a ghostly image of an evil-looking face."

He added: "Look closely and it looks like it is breathing on the inside of the window.

"Next to the face is what looks like a man in a tuxedo and dicky bow."
