Leah Murphy: Newlywed mom shocked to find 'ghost' of dead baby daughter in wedding photo
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA: While browsing through her wedding photos, a newlywed mother of four was taken aback by the faint image of what she believes is the apparition of her deceased daughter Totty, peering out from behind a tree. Her post about it quickly went viral, garnering over 1.3 million views.
"I don't believe in many things," said Leah Murphy, a 33-year-old from Queensland, Australia, in the closed captions of her emotional TikTok testimonial. "But I believe she was there to watch myself and her dad get married in honor of her." The photo captured the couple in a passionate kiss amidst a verdant background during their outdoor wedding in December 2022. However, in the picture's background, a blurry figure resembling a small child seems to be observing the intimate moment from afar, adding an eerie aura to the image.

What happened to Totty?
On September 19, 2022, tragedy struck the Murphys when their youngest daughter, Totty, died in a drowning accident at the tender age of 17 months. The little girl was discovered by her brother and CPR was immediately administered at a nearby police station. She was then rushed to the Brisbane Children's Hospital where she was put into a medically induced coma. Despite the efforts of the medical staff, Totty's condition continued to deteriorate, and she died the following day in the arms of her devastated mother.

'She is always there with you'
Murphy penned a heartfelt ode to her late little one in the caption of her video, saying, “I’m forever missing you, my little shadow.” Several viewers agreed with Murphy's belief that her late daughter was present at her wedding.
"My jaw dropped then the tears came. That’s [definitely] her," wrote one commenter. "I saw that she was there straight away, before it was circled and zoomed in!. Beautiful 🥰" wrote a tarot reader. Another viewer commented, "My tears instantly started falling once I seen her. She was making sure you would know she is always there with you."
Attacks from fake accounts
Leah recently posted a TikTok video mentioning how people were messaging her through fake accounts, making fun of her daughter's death. The accounts were targeted at her and her husband, humiliating both of them. The QLD police has arrested the person behind one of the accounts and investigations are going on for others.
