Man discovers ghost of Freddy Mercury in cat's paw

I was playing with an app on my phone, called 'Reface', putting funny effects onto photos of my friends, when I thought I’d see if it would pick up on my cat, Blodwyn’s face.
(I’d tried this before with numerous cat pics, all of which were rejected by the app's A.I for not being a human face).
On this occasion however, and much to my delight, the photo was accepted.
I applied an effect and sat back to view the results.
Very disappointing at first glance, as Blodwyn appeared stationary.
I then noticed that her paw was tapping in time to the music. Hilarious!
But, no. No. Surely not?
Yes! The app had identified a tiny little man with white hair, imprisoned within Blodwyn’s foot.
I had randomly selected the Queen song, 'I want to break free', from the Reface app for no particular reason, and when I zoomed in on the video I saw what appeared to be the head of the late Freddy Mercury, singing along to the song.
