Could this be real evidence of a ghost in New Orleans?

A couple visiting New Orleans from West Virginia says they got photo-bombed by a ghost while eating at the famous restaurant Tujague's .

By the way, Tujague's is not only known for good food but for their haunted restaurant. So it's not that big of a surprise to the people of New Orleans.

I'm sure the couple Ian and April were a little shaken up when they looked at the picture they took inside the restaurant. According to their Facebook page this is what happened;

"When they got home and looked through the photographs, they noticed something hovering over the diners behind them, with a glowing orb and thought...what is that?!"

Just a little note, there are no windows or doors for a reflection to appear.

They sent the picture to the owner of the restaurant, who replied,

"That's Julian Eltinge!  That's Tujague's cross-dressing ghost,"

The owner spoke with WGNO TV in New Orleans and said,

This ghost story begins with famous actor of the stage and screen, Julian Eltinge.  Eltinge starred alongside Rudolph Valentino in the silent film, "Aisle of Love", and even had his own cosmetics line.  Tooker said that Eltinge was a cross-dresser, whose alter ego was Vesta Tilley.  He would dine at Begue's Restaurant, which later became Tujague's.  Eltinge autographed a picture and gave it to Madame Begue. The photo hung in the restaurant on the wall since 1917. In 2013, Mark Latter, the current owner of Tujague's, made some renovations to the restaurant.  Latter took down the framed photo of Julian Eltinge and put it in the attic. The couple was sitting near the wall where Eltinge's photo had been removed.

The owner of the restaurant has re-hung the original picture that was placed in the attic. Smart move, you don't want to tick off a ghost.
