I take thousands of photos each year, but to my knowledge, I’ve never taken a photo of a ghost before. That is, until now. I unwittingly captured a series of creepy images when out taking pictures with a new smartphone and they showed something so spooky, so unearthly, so bone-chillingly terrifying that I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I took the photos when I was testing the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and its Photography Kit.…

You can pick it up for between $250 and $300 — and for even less used — and it comes with a critical 12GB of VRAM. It’s the go-to GPU for maxed-out 1080p gaming in 2024,…
