Mum sees 'ghost baby' face staring into daughter's cot on nanny cam
A mum-of-two is convinced the ghost of a baby she lost is haunting her home, after capturing footage of a "ghostly face" on her nanny cam following a number of creepy occurrences.
Mum Melissa Smith insists she’s always been a paranormal skeptic, but that all changed in September 2016, when a tragic miscarriage prompted a number of spooky happenings to occur at her home, in Toronto, Ontario.
The same night she tragically lost her child, Melissa claims a children’s toy randomly turned itself on in the middle of the living room and began playing music – and things continued to get stranger from there.

But on May 31, Melissa received the most "conclusive proof" yet that her house is being haunted by her unborn baby, after she turned on her daughter Leah’s cot cam to see what she believes to be the face of a ghost staring back at the eight-month-old.
Believing her daughter to have wriggled desperately to burrow her face into the corner of the crib, Melissa ran upstairs to pull her away from the pale figure and has been dumbfounded by the footage ever since.

Melissa, going by a pseudonymous name because she wishes not to be named, said: “Friends have told me to pack my bags and run after I showed it to them.
“My friend Christine was over for a chat and both of my children were napping.
“I thought I heard a noise on my daughter’s monitor, so I clicked it on the camera feed and Christine noticed what appeared to be a baby peering into the crib through the bottom screen.

“It almost looks like a doll through the screen, but we don’t have any in our house, only stuffed animals.
“A week before this happened, my husband and I were in the living room when we heard something drop into the empty kitchen sink.
