A family mourning the death of their little boy have released haunting footage of the seven-year-old’s wake which appears to show a balloon comforting the family.
Two videos released by grieving mother Joy Ganda Vibar-Alamares, from The Philippines, after her son Trebby’s wake show helium balloons gravitating from behind the coffin to those grieving.
The family say they believe that the balloons were being moved by the spirit of the deceased seven-year-old, with Ms Vibar-Alamares writing on Facebook 'I would like to believe that this was his last mission'.
The first video, which has attracted more than 3.5 million views, shows a white coffin covered with flowers and white balloons, and featuring a portrait of the dead child.
One of the balloons then begins floating toward the pews in the chapel, in Legazpi City, Albay, before one of Trebby’s siblings alerts Ms Vibar-Alamares that the object is coming her way.
Ms Vibar-Alamares, who is crying softly, then looks up at the balloon as it floats gently into her hand, nudges her head then begins to float away.
But as the woman’s crying intensifies the balloon appears to change direction suddenly, moving closely behind her and bumping into her as she grieves.
