I didn't know they had competitions for these things nowadays.

An eerie picture of a figure in period costume at the window of a Scottish castle has won a competition to find the world's most convincing "ghostly image".

The picture, taken in May 2008, appears to show a man or woman wearing a ruff, looking through a barred window at Tantallon Castle in North Berwick, East Lothian.

No mannequins are used at the castle, and there are no costumed guides. Three photographic experts have confirmed that the photograph was not manipulated.

It's hard to believe pictures anymore now that everyone knows how to use Photoshop.

It's interesting how, according to the article, photographic experts confirmed that there had been no changes made to the photograph, yet it doesn't seem as though the bars go in front of the face :confused:

Given the contrast and quality of the photo, the bars would probably not show up well, if at all.

I think they should fire their photographic experts and find new ones.

If someone was good at using photoshop no photographic 'expert' could tell.

Photographic experts have also confirmed the ghostly man is peering through the bars at Nessie (off-camera) in the distance.
