Spooky! Clouds gather to form ghost-like face in the sky



Hallowe'en isn't until the end of the month - but this spooky cloud formation made for a ghostly sight in the skies above Bristol this week.



Nola Hersey spotted the bizarre visage while rambling in a park in Clifton Downs. She was so taken by the sight that she snapped a shot on her iPhone.



She said: ‘We had been out for a walk and it was a lovely sunset so I stopped to take a few pictures.

‘Then I noticed a girl’s face very clearly in the cloud. It was amazing, you could see her hair and face very well.

‘It almost looked like she was wearing one of those Victorian wigs, it was very spooky.



‘If you look closely you can also see a hair band around her head. I showed the pictures to my friends and they couldn’t believe it.’



In another apparent trick of the light, as evening descended upon Giffnock, in Glasgow last night, the clouds appeared to arrange themselves in the shape of a giant dog.



Looking not unlike an Afghan Hound, the wispy apparition was captured by photographer Robert Steel.



The canine cloud hovered above homes, looking rather like a dog lying at its mistress’s feet.
