Snap! We've got a ghost photo too

Last week a picture taken at the ruined Scottish castle on the East Lothian coast was voted the world's most convincing ghost snap for appearing to show a figure clad in Tudor dress and a ruff peering out of a crumbling window.

The second photo was taken by Grace Lamb, from Edinburgh, at the same location 32 years ago. It shows her late husband Hugh and two children Paul and Kelly - and behind them, what looks like a female figure staring out of an opening above the window in the original ghost photo.

The photographer who took the picture last May claimed he saw no one there, and tests have ruled out digital tampering.

Experts suggested the image might have been a trick of the light, but confirmed sceptic Professor Richard Wiseman admitted he was puzzled.

As before, Mrs Lamb does not recall seeing the face when she pressed the camera button. The figure was only noticed when the photograph was developed and has been a topic of heated debate by the family ever since.

The family sent the photo to Prof Wiseman after seeing news coverage of the original Tantallon "ghost". (Source: Uk.News.Yahoo)
