In search of ghosts, Australia man catches girlfriend and teen son in sexual act

An Australian man who had set up a video camera in his house to capture paranormal activity found more than he bargained for.

The Daily Mail reported that the camera caught his teenage son and girlfriend of 11 years having sex.

The 28-year-old girlfriend pleaded guilty to five counts of sex with a minor.

She said she didn't know that the boy was below the age of consent.

The affair apparently began just weeks earlier and had progressed behind her boyfriend's back.

After confronting his partner, the father called the police and the woman was arrested.

It remains unclear if the ghosts were ever found.
