Hannah Butler, 24, is convinced she's being followed by the spirit as she regularly appears in her dreams after she took a photo of the youngster three years ago while she was wandering through the woods in Maidstone, Kent, with her friend Georgina.

Speaking of the first time she came face-to-face with the bizarre figure, she said: ''I just snapped away at the tree, I must have taken about 10 photos. I was wandering around, looking through them, and then I saw it. I thought I had just imagined her. It wasn't on any of the other photos. Then I started freaking out. I was so shocked.

''I showed Georgina and she showed the rest of the group. Of about 15 people, at least 10 were convinced too and were freaked out.''

But that didn't stop the mother-of-one going back to the woods as she decided to do the guide again in the daylight to try and talk to the little girl.

She told the Daily Mail newspaper: ''We made our own 'yes' and 'no' board, and the guide asked out loud if the girl wanted to be my friend. The answer was yes.

''I suddenly felt so guilty. It sounds strange, but if it was her then she showed herself to me for a reason. Why me? And I just ran away.''
