According to the Boston Globe, the photo was snapped in Salem outside of the J. Michael Ruane Judicial Center.
Some noted that the face looked a lot like Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.
@MayorDriscoll Definitely. Yes. Doesn't look too happy either. Kind of Voldemort-y. pic.twitter.com/aMWuj874hV

Either way, definitely a totally real ghost.
While Salem is usually associated with the infamous witch trials that began in 1692, the witch hysteria actually took place in Salem Village, which is known today as the town of Danvers. Regardless, Salem has embraced its spooky past and is a popular tourist attraction during the weeks leading up to, and during Halloween.
