A man captured the moment he spotted a "ghostly figure" walking alongside him in the mountains. Chris Randall, 45, was walking in the Lake District, Cumbria, when he spotted a Brocken spectre - a large shadow of an observer cast onto cloud or mist - out of the corner of his eye.
A Brocken spectre is a rare phenomenon which takes place on a misty day when the sun is behind a climber - their shadow is projected forwards through the mist. The rainbow effect is created by the sun hitting water particles in the air.
Chris, a food producer from Buxton, Derbyshire, said: "I do a lot of hill walking, it is quite common in the mountains. For years I have been trying to catch one, the weather conditions have to be right for one to appear.
