A picture snapped by a teenager at a centuries-old castle in the Scottish Highlands is proof that ghosts really do exist


A PICTURE snapped by a teenager at a centuries-old castle in the Scottish Highlands is proof that ghosts really do exist, it has been claimed.

The spectral vision was captured by 14-year-old Connor Bond at Tulloch Castle in Dingwall, already famed for its ghostly residents.

The ghoulish apparition was snapped by accident while the youngster and his family were attending a wedding at the castle, reports The Sun newspaper.

The family only noticed what they had captured when they downloaded the image on to their computer and saw the ghostly hand and a swirl of mist around it.

Despite describing themselves as sceptics, Connor and dad Mike are now convinced the ghost they snapped is real and are hoping experts will examine it and prove them correct.

Mike, 52, from Inverness said: "You can clearly see this ghostly figure on the staircase.

"You can see a hand on the banister and what appears to be a white mist around it.

"Being a sceptical person I thought Connor had done something to the picture but he says not and I believe him."

Tulloch Castle dates back to the 1200s and has a long history of ghostly activity.

The most famous of them is the Green Lady who has been seen by dozens of people, and even has the castle's bar named after her.

She is believed to be the ghost of Elizabeth Davidson, whose family once owned the castle where her portrait hangs in the Great Hall.

Mike added: "I just don't see what else it could be - it's a digital camera so you can't accidentally double expose the shot and Connor swears there was no one around at the time.

"It's a mystery."
