Scottish visitor attraction Inverary Jail has released a photograph of a ghostly shape hovering at the surface.
Built by the side of Loch Fyne in Argyll, the former prison is widely reported to be haunted and visited often by paranormal investigators.
Inside the jail most sightings are reported in or around cell 10. Gavin Dick, manager of the attraction, said; “During the height of the X Files days we used to call it Cell X for obvious reasons.”
Dick also suggests the kitchen is haunted, “In the kitchen, which is in many ways the most unremarkable room we have had people sense that there’s someone cowering behind the door. There are various areas that cause reactions, and not just on ghost hunts.”
One woman, who visited the jail with her husband and young daughter, complained of having sensed an ‘unsettling presence’ in the prison and was surprised to discover a blurred image in one of her photographs which she didn’t notice when the picture was taken.
Ghost Finders Scotland has studied the jail and reportedly found good examples of Electronic Voice Phenomenon.
Spectre, the paranormal investigations and research group, recorded the temperature dropping from 16.8c to 9.0c in just ten minutes while investigating cell 9 in the old jail building.

Have you been to Inverary Jail and experienced anything unusual? The jail operates both ghost tours and paranormal investigations for interested parties.
With all due respect, but can you tell me what makes you think it is hovering? Ive been on many an investigation over the past few years now and on looking at this pic would put it down to a hair. There could be a couple of probabilities and get angry when people always say ghost before considering any other explination. Regards Rob
Do you not think "hovering" is an appropriate word? I think it's commonly used to suggest something that may or may not be touching the ground. If it's a hair – which it might well be – then hovering is the wrong word.
Its smoke coming from that pipe!
