A mum caught the haunting moment her baby daughter's spirit "returned to bring a tribute balloon to rest exactly on her grave" on her first birthday.
Nickie Torvill and her family visited Sharlston Cemetery in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, to mark what would have been the first birthday of her miscarried baby Lulah.
Footage posted shows them letting off two pink tribute balloons when one floats across the graveyard and towards Lulah's plot.
Nickie can be heard saying "it's going back to Lulah" before her stunned husband Jamie Torvill says "Jesus Christ".
The 31-year-old's daughter Kacie, 14, runs over to the balloon as it hovers above Lulah's headstone and then lowers for her to grab it.
The mum of three is convinced it's a message from her daughter, who died 18 weeks into her pregnancy due to placenta issues.
She admits she didn't believe in life after death until the "comforting" experience but now does and loves watching the clip back.
Nickie is now sharing the "emotional" video, shot in June 2018, in the hope it brings comfort to other parents who have gone through miscarriages.
Nickie, from Wakefield, said: "We couldn't believe it. We were all shocked and emotional.
"When we let two balloons off, one went straight up into the sky and one came down and then weirdly went above her grave.
"My daughter went running over to it but she couldn't reach it and then it came down to her like Lulah wanted her to grab it.
"I didn't think there was anything after life before this but now I do. I don't think this is a coincidence.
"She's obviously done that as a message from her to say she's okay and that she's still here.
"It was devastating at the time so this was comforting to us. I love watching it back.
"I'm so glad we managed to get it on video because I don't think anyone would believe us unless they saw it."
Nickie lives with her husband Jamie, 37 and their three children Kacie, 14, Jack, 10, and Lilah, seven, who was born just 10 months after the miscarriage.
Her TikTok caption said: "I'll never get over this video on my daughter's first heavenly birthday!
"We let some balloons off and one of them went right across the cemetery, hovered right above her grave and came down for my daughter to hold the balloon.
"She was telling us she was with us! Love you Lulah."
