Mum, 32, finds mysterious face imprinted on her bottom during visit to beach
A MYSTERIOUS face appeared on a mum’s BUM during a visit to a haunted beach.
Shocked Hollie Abraham, 32, was spooked after she noticed the facial outline on her playsuit in a photo taken by her daughter during a day out on Sunday.
She had spent the day with her three children, Skye, 11, Krystal, 10, and Alfie, seven, at Porthoustock beach in St Keverne, Cornwall, for a barbeque.
But when they reviewed the pictures back home, they were stunned to spot what they believe to be a ghost in the leg of Hollie’s jumpsuit.
Hollie, a community carer from Helston, Cornwall, said: “My 11-year-old, Skye, was taking pictures of me on the beach and she got a shot from behind.
“The first one was normal, but the second one had a face on it. We didn’t notice until we got home.
“Krystal, my 10-year-old was looking through the pictures and Just said, ‘mum, you have a face on your bum’ and I thought, ‘what are you on about?’.”
Hollie then decided to do some research, and discovered locals believe that particular beach is haunted.
She added: “Apparently that beach is quite haunted because of the shipwrecks down there.
“It could be a pirate, I could be haunted with a face of a pirate on my trousers. I don’t usually believe things like that but it spooked me out quite a bit.
“In the pictures it looks like it’s up in the playsuit and it’s facing down, it looks really weird and a bit freaky.”
In the 2008 book The Cornwall Coast, by Arthur L Salmon, Porthoustock is described as a “a great wreck region” with “perpetual menace”.
The book describes a shipwreck in 1809 where some 200 lives were lost when two ships dashed against the deadly rocks, the only surviver a young boy.
And according to Mr Salmon, St Keverne – the Celtic saint whose church is merely more than a mile from the sea – “cursed the district because of the irreligion of its people”.

Legend says St Keverne became enraged after a saint pal pocketed his favoUrite chalice after popping round for a drink, and he followed the saint home pelting him with rocks as punishment.
Cornwall is thought to be one of the most haunted counties in the UK, with ghouls prowling through a number of pubs, roads and beaches.
Cornwall Live reports 38 calls were made to Devon and Cornwall cops between 2013 and 2017 to report ghostly goings-on.
