RESIDENTS in Saltcoats may not be alone as one Ardrossan man captured what looks like a ghost on his camera on Monday night.
David Kerr, 44, had been driving home from work at 5.30pm when he decided to stop at Saltcoats shore front and take a picture of the sun-setting. However he was shocked when he discovered a strange object in his picture.
David explained: “I’m trying to train to be a professional photographer so when I saw the sunset at the beach I thought that would be a nice image to try capture. I took one in front of the wall but I wasn’t happy with the red glow so moved further back and managed to capture this strange object. I rushed home immediately to get a closer look.”
And when he looked at it on his computer he could clearly see the outline of a man. “There is no doubt in my mind that there is something there,” David said.
“I don’t believe in ghosts at all but when I showed it to my girlfriend the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end and the more I look at it the more I am convinced that I see a man sitting down on the grass looking out to sea. It is extraordinary.”
Not wanting to jump to conclusions, David took his digital camera to Prestige Photography for a second opinion and he too thought he could see a man in the picture.
Robert Kelly, owner of Prestige Photography in Saltcoats said: “I have been in the professional photography industry for over 20 years now and I have never seen anything like this before. I am not really sure what it is to be honest but it looks like a mermaid or seeing it for the second time it could be a soldier because you can sort of see his beret.
“I would definitely say that there is no dirt or shadowing on the picture and no reasonable explanation.”
