A French couple touring the Highlands claim to have photographed a ghost on the former site of a hanging tree. The couple claim the spooky figure appears in a photograph they took in the High Street in Fort William, in the West Highlands.
The site - the location of the Old Fort's hanging tree - is said to have been known for ghostly appearances since the tree was chopped down in the 1970s. Sophie Mager, 32, and Remy Puckey, 40, from Jaux, just north of Paris, did not see the apparition in front of them but were baffled when it appeared in Sophie's picture.
They were spooked further when locals explained the spot was the site of the hanging tree, and there had been previous unexplained goings-on there. The night-time image shows the bright lights of the houses in the town. In front, just before the camera lens, there is a white mist or smoke-like veil blocking the view.
But the couple, who work for ground services agents for French airlines, insist the sky was clear at the time and they have not altered their image in any way. Ms Mager said: "It was amazing and I swear that it is not a picture with special effects.
"We didn't see the ghost on the spot, but discovered it when we looked on the picture. Many strange things are happening in Fort William."
