When you’re in love, taking a cute selfie together is an absolute must.

After all, how else can you show the world just how perfect you are together?

But, sometimes, selfies go wrong.

And, on very rare occasions, they sometimes go TERRIFYINGLY wrong.

Are you ready for this?

On a sunny day, this man and woman decided that the time was ripe for a selfie.

And so, posing in front of a glass window, they smiled ever so sweetly at the lens and snapped a shot together.

However, as eagle-eyed fans may have already noticed, there’s something terrifying out of place in this selfie.

Take a closer look at their reflection in the glass window if you don’t believe us.

Closer… closer… even closer.

There - do you see it?

We’re trying to remain calm about this, but…

Well, but HER REFLECTION HAS TURNED AROUND TO FACE US IN THE GLASS!!!

Yes, we should be seeing the back of her head, not a shadowy smiling face.

The picture has been shared on both 9gag and Twitter, sparking a huge debate as to what exactly is going on in this chilling selfie.

From ghosts to devils, and from evil spirits to a real-life Quirrell and Voldemort scenario, the internet is losing its mind over the possibilities involved in this spooky snapshot.

However some pragmatists have suggested a slightly more likely - albeit boring - explanation.

"This picture is a result of a camera with a rolling shutter. The sensor is exposed to light with the help of 2 little panels that fall up (possibly down left or right, but usually down),” a 9gag user said.

“If the girl was to turn her head at the right time the camera would capture her looking backwards and forwards.

"The rolling shutting [sic] is present in most DLSRs. Unlike a [sic] phone camera which can have a global shutter or electronic moving shutter.

“The wider the gap between the 2 falling panels determine how much time the sensor is exposed."

Hmm. We guess that makes sense… but we still can’t shake the feeling that she’s going to be staring out at us from the bathroom mirror one night.

What do you think - has this image been photoshopped, or is it proof of all things supernatural?
