Saul Vazquez may have seen a ghost.
On Tuesday, the Kentucky business owner says he snapped a revealing photo showing the immediate aftermath of a deadly motorcycle crash in Powell County. His image appeared to show a ghostly form ascending from the wreckage.
“I took this picture just few minutes ago from the cab of my truck,” he wrote on Facebook. “Zoom in and pay attention to the shadow just off the top of the state trooper hat. All I say is I hope everyone involved is okay!!”
