Alright, print the photos out and ask if she can still see it. Don't tell her what you're doing or she might back out if its a joke/lie. Ask her to outline the figure she sees in pen. If she is really seeing something, it should be easy to trace and it wont be too hard for her. If shes lieing she wont be able to do it well, if at all. Let us see how her outline looks.
If she does draw a clear outline rather quickly then you got a bigger problem- Tilda may need to see someone. Its hard to talk about this kind of thing to friends be supportive and make sure shes knows you don't think shes crazy. Mention getting a check for schizophrenia which can manifest quite late in life. Don't alarm her, if she has it there are medicative options and its NOT her fault. Shes not insane, she has a disease like diabetes or gout- but it affects the brain.
For her sake, I hope shes lying. Either way, its good to catch these things early in case her hallucinations get worse and or violent.
