Ghostly extra shows up in family photograph

This innocent snap captured during a family day out to a popular swimming spot appears to show something unexpected.
Back in 2014, Kim Davison, who hails from Queensland in Australia, had gone swimming with her friend Jessie Lu and their three children at a place called Murphy's Hole at the Lockyer River.

It had been an idyllic day out, but when they returned from the trip and took a look at the photographs they had taken, they noticed that one of the images appeared to show a mysterious fourth child visible in the water between the two adults at the back.

Sure enough, the photograph does seem to show what looks like the head of another child, so if it wasn't one of their three children, who was it and why did nobody notice them at the time ?

Most disturbing of all, however, was the discovery that - almost 100 years ago - a young girl by the name of Doreen Sullivan had reportedly drowned in Murphy's Hole at that very spot.
Davison even claimed that her daughter had complained about something grabbing her leg twice while they were swimming there.

"When I went back in for one last dip to cool off I did feel something behind me as I was walking out of the water but tried to ignore it," she recalled.

So could this be evidence of a paranormal presence or is there a conventional explanation ?

You decide.
