GLASGOW, Scotland—A ghastly apparition has left Scottish shoppers terrified after they reportedly saw it float through the Silverburn shopping center.

The ghost, described as a woman in black, has allegedly been spotted wearing all black period clothing and left shoppers scared senseless.

Multiple reports led to Silverburn management calling in paranormal experts, Glasgow Paranormal Investigations, to look into the reported sightings.

A spokesperson from Silverburn commented, "We are aware that a shadowy woman has been spotted around the centre. We have reached out to local experts in the field of paranormal activity, who will hopefully be able to shed some light on the matter."

One shopper who wishes to remain anonymous commented, "We were waiting on our friend coming out of one of the shops, when out of the corner of my eye I saw this dark figure down the corridor, almost hovering – it was terrifying."

Silverburn security guard Thomas Chalmers said: "I had just finished my shift and was leaving the center bathroom, when I just felt this sudden chill. I didn't think much of it, but as I looked up I saw this shadowy figure disappear down the hall. There is no way that it was human."

A member of Glasgow Paranormal Investigations said: "It is not uncommon for a spirit to be attached to a site before the present building was constructed. Possibly Silverburn or the construction of the new cinema disturbed it. This can be common in hauntings. The most important thing is to ensure whoever it is, finds a peaceful resting place."

The shopping haven opened in 2007 and was built on the former Pollok shopping centre site.
