Terrified Reece Pitman, 12, heard whistling - and used his mobile to film the shadowy being.
It came days after his nine-year-old sister complained that someone was mysteriously finishing her jigsaws at night.
The lad showed the amazing footage - which must be seen to be believed - to mum Tonia, 38.
She said: "Reece looked scared witless.
"In the clip a white shadow appears from my bedroom followed by the dark image of a man.
"It crosses the landing and disappears when it reaches the banisters."
Tonia, of Solihull, Birmingham, said she consulted a psychic who told her the ghost could be friendly.
Sales assistant Tonia said: "I've had a tough time recently as my husband left me. I didn't believe in ghosts - but I'm thinking of the spectre as my guardian angel."
Julian Banks of the British Paranormal Society said the film was "potentially the best image of a ghost in years".
The Sun newspaper is owned by Sky boss Rupert Murdoch, a staunch support of the 'war on terror' and the 'those muslims are trouble' ilk.
Recently the paper has spent a LOT of coverage on UFO's, ghosts, prophecies etc... I find this kinda strange when a propaganda outlet decides to cover these type of phenomena regularly? Could just be bread and circuses.. who knows?
