A Scot has snapped a spooky photo of what appears to be a woman's face in the middle of a stream in the Cairngorms. Beverley Thain, 64, who has since shared the incredible image online, was shocked to discover it while looking through her recently taken photographs.
The Peterhead-based amateur photographer said she was out and about near the ski resort taking photos on Sunday, October 16, and only discovered it when she sat down to look at what she'd taken on her laptop. When she pulled the image up she spotted what appeared to be a serene-looking woman's face asleep on a rock in the stream.
Speaking about the image, she said: "When I loaded up the image on the laptop, I was surprised to see what looked like a woman’s face looking back at me."
Beverley, who also works as a Pupil Support Assistant, took to Facebook to share the image on the Scotland From the Roadside group with people flocking to discuss the fascinating image, which seemed particularly intriguing considering how close it is to Halloween.

Beverley explained: "People online have been fascinated with the image and have seen so many other things in the photograph. Some see a serpent, others a skull. It's totally weird. The eyes playing tricks and I certainly don’t think there is anything sinister.
"It's just a good laugh but I can confirm it is totally not photoshopped."
Followers described the pic as "fantastic", with one posting: "I like to think that the face may be of someone whose ashes were spread in the water so she could be free and flow where she liked."
A second added that they can see a "creepy eye" in the water to the left of the photo as well.
