A newlywed couple who sadly lost their young daughter three months before they got married were left stunned while they were looking back at their wedding photographs. After examining one image in closer detail, Tahlia Murphy was shocked to see what appeared to be the ghostly figure of their daughter Taidyn, who died in a tragic incident when she was just 17 months old.

The figure appears to be standing in the lefthand corner of the photo, leaning against a tree. It appeared to the Australian bride that she was wearing a dress for the special occasion and that she was watching her parents from afar. When she showed her husband Cecil, he was left equally stunned.

As previously reported by PerthNow, mum Tahlia had been at work when she received a devastating phone call in September 2022. Taidyn, who was lovingly known as Totty to friends and family, was found unresponsive in the family's back garden spa. The following day, she passed away.

After getting the photos back from her wedding, Tahlia says it made her feel "whole" knowing that her entire family had been there on her special day, and decided to show the image to her other children.

Recalling their reactions, Tahlia said: "My 12-year-old daughter started crying. Our four-year-old was like, 'Can we go back and get Totty and bring her home?'

'I'm spending £20k on a new bathroom - but won't help my brother out with cash''I'm spending £20k on a new bathroom - but won't help my brother out with cash'

"Then our son was like, 'Why can she come to the wedding but she wasn't allowed for Christmas?' It's just hard to explain to kids who don't understand why we couldn't bring her home."

Tahlia has since uploaded footage showing the mysterious figure to TikTok, which has since been viewed more than 1.4 million times.

She told her amazed followers: "I don't believe in many things, but I believe she was there to watch myself and her dad get married to honour her life."
