Viewer Has Spotted Another 'Ghost' In Background Of James May Documentary

While May was recalling an interaction he'd had with an artist, the viewer zoomed in on the background to focus on yet another transparent figure.

Alongside the video, they wrote: "I've just spotted another ghost in ep4 at 15mins. I have a feeling there's an editor having a giggle or it's a clever marketing strategy to generate social media buzz. Fun little easter egg."

Admittedly a ghost haunting a car park is a little harder to believe than a ghost wandering the now-desolate city of Pompeii, but who's to say this particular ghost didn't have affinity for a certain parking space?

Another viewer who spotted the same apparition speculated it could have been a long-deceased resident, writing: "Did anyone else spot this one jn the car park? Looks like a Roman."

The second sighting has received dozens of likes from intrigued Twitter users, and while some might be convinced it's evidence of life after death, May himself has offered up an alternative explanation for the 'ghosts' in his new series.

In response to the first clip, the presenter tweeted: "My thanks to everyone who has pointed out the ‘ghost’ in ep3 of my new Italy series. Nobody saw it at the time, so it’s either a real ghost or (more likely but also more boring) just a bit of digital file corruption."

Italy is obviously a country with a lot of history, so whether you want to believe it or not, it's at least a good contender for a place that could offer itself up to some hauntings.
