A ghost like figure has been caught on camera on the roof of a former mental asylum.

The chilling snapshots show the vague outline of a 'female patient' at the Sunbury Lunatic Asylum in Victoria.

The image was captured during a night tour of the notorious asylum, where straight-jackets and electric convulsive therapy treatment were a grim reality for patients, the Daily Mail reported.

Social media users weighed in on the apparent apparition.

'I believe you will find one of the patients did indeed jump off the nurse's hostel. I worked there back in the 70's & 80's,' she wrote.

But others cast doubt on the image, giving up the game by showing a daytime shot of a chimney on the building.

'Definitely a chimney, doesn't mean I don't believe but it's definitely not a women on the roof.'
