A terrifying video appears to show a 'ghost in a hijab' appear over a young girl's shoulder as she was singing to her webcam and getting ready to post her video online.

The young girl was singing her own version of the song Count on Me by Bruno Mars when she decided to record her performance.

But when she watched the video back, she was completely terrified by what she saw.

In the background, on the right hand side of the screen, a shadowy figure suddenly appears in the background.

It seems to walk past the camera before disappearing completely.

According to a caption alongside the footage, the girl thought she was home alone while she was recording, making the strange figure even more terrifying.

The spooky video was posted on YouTube on January 16, with the words: "My friend's cousin was home alone one day making Musical.lys.

"She had uploaded this and didn't realise what was in the background until she reewatched it later...

"It is on the right side of the screen, above her left shoulder. Right in the beginning of the video. The only pet they have is a cat."

But the girl has reportedly already dismissed the cat theory by saying the figure was too large and too quick.
