This is the chilling moment the ‘ghost of a boy’ gatecrashes a scene in 80s comedy Three Men And A Baby
The spooky apparition appears to lurk in the background of shot and has never been explained by the filmmakers
IT’S been almost three decades since Three Men and a Baby was released… but a creepy unsolved mystery still looms over the popular blockbuster.
Film buffs remain spooked by the figure of a little boy spotted lurking in the background of one of the scenes.
The film, which beat Fatal Attraction to win the title of the biggest box office hit of 1987, is remembered by many because of the bizarre incident.
It occurs an hour into the film in a scene showing Jack and his mum pottering around in the house.
As the characters move around one of the rooms, a shadowy outline appears in the background.
Filming continues as normal, but 40 seconds later something eerie occurs.
In the window frame of the house, peeking through the curtains, it looks like a little boy is watching the action.
As there wasn’t a single role given to a young boy in the film, beady-eyed viewers were left feeling a little spooked.
One urban legend goes as far to claim that the haunting figure is actually a ghost.
The story, which has been passed down through the years, suggests that the spook is a boy that died in the place where the scene was filmed.
Some believe that it is the ghost of a nine-year-old boy who took his own life using a shotgun.

Speculation that it was merely a cardboard cut-out that had somehow made its way onto the set by mistake.
Others believe that the filmmakers created a life-sized replica of Jack’s character to use in scenes as a stand-in.
This theory is fairly convincing, as the cardboard cut-out appears to be wearing a tuxedo and top hat.
Despite all of the speculation that’s followed over the years, the producers of Three Men and a Baby have never revealed exactly what the spooky apparition is.
