Rescuers in Thailand thought they were responding to a normal call for help, but ended up needing a brief moment to make sure they were not actually seeing a phantom.
On 24 July, a rescue team arrived at a school in Yasothorn province to assist a female student who needed urgent care. She had complained of severe stomach pain.
However, upon arriving, they were shocked to find her skin painted black, and her eyes an unnatural colour.
The encounter has since made its rounds on Facebook, after a rescuer shared about his experience.
In his post, Mr Nattawat (name transliterated from Thai) included a photo of a female student.
Her long black hair was tied into a a ponytail, and she appeared to be wearing “ghost” contact lenses.

He further shared that his team had responded to a call involving a 16-year-old female student at around 11.30am.
The distress call came from Kut Chum Wittayakom School in Kut Chum Subdistrict.
Mr Nattawat jokingly admitted that he was spooked upon seeing her.
However, rescuers still quickly provided first aid before sending the student to a local hospital.
Mr Nattawat then revealed in the comments that the ghost cosplay was part of a performance at her school on National Thai Language Day.
The viral post has gained more than 40,000 likes and 1,800 shares, with many netizens entertained by the post.
One user jokingly asked whether the stomach pain was caused by her laughing at herself.
