Is this fact or fiction?

A picture posted to Facebook last week appears to show a "ghostly" image photo-bombing a picture of a 13-year-old girl on a fishing trip.

Jessica Ogletree, from Georgia, posted the photo with the following explanation:

FB FRIENDS CHECK THIS OUT! This picture was taken by my 13 year old daughter earlier today at Paradise (the fishing place) in Tifton, Ga. Notice my son Kolton in the background and then notice the gentleman standing to his right!!! Ya'll this gentleman was NOT with them today and there was no one else at these back ponds where they were fishing! The only people there today were Haley, Kolton, and their grandparents Dennis and Vera Baldree. Haley was going back through her pictures and saw this and needless to say freaked out and called me lol! I personally think it's pretty cool because today is Kolton's birthday and he caught the biggest fish he's ever caught! It looks like the man is happy for him!

The photo has been shared thousands of times, but many commenters are skeptical.

Carol Mikelsen: Looks like a tricky reflection. Ask yourself, "Who's shadow is on your brother's back?". It looks like the shadow of the mystery man's hat. That would place him in the blind spot of the truck, and of course behind your brother.

Candy Melendez: This is not a fake it's real, it happen to me a man was behind me while I was taking a pic of me and my dog together, it scared the crap out of me, the house was living was hunted.

Miranda Thacker Leon: Who's shadow is on the boys shirt? The "ghost" is very pixelated. There is no sunlight go through or reflecting off of said ghost. To me, it looks like a good trick. Cool, but not real.
