A Scot has been left shocked after snapping a picture of a ghostly face in the sky. Scott Livingstone, 40, had been with his daughter watching the aurora borealis as it passed over his house in Thurso when he noticed the shape.
He grabbed his camera and started snapping pictures of the centre of the Northern Lights as it morphed and changed colour. The phenomenon in the centre of the aurora borealis, which is called a spectrum, is caused when Nitrogen causes blue and deep red hues emitted by the various atoms in earth's outer atmosphere.
Upon checking his photos Scott was left shocked after noticing a face looking down on him. Speaking to the Daily Record about the rare snap, he said: "We have a wee extension to the side of the house so me and my daughter were watching the aurora moving across with the spectrum which is what they call the rip in the centre.
