When a traveler saw a figure rising above the clouds, he assumed that he had seen a ghost; But it turned out that this was a rare natural phenomenon. Thomas Swallow, 39, was trekking with his friends in the United Kingdom last month but was slightly overtaken by them, and was completely alone when he turned around and saw a haunting scene. The Manchester resident was shocked, but then realized that his optics were playing tricks on him, and what he was seeing was his own image back in front of him. According to a New York Post report, Thomas was climbing 2,990 feet in the North-Western region of the UK, and was on a 40-mile journey. Thomas said, “I was a little shocked.” He went on to say that “it was a strange, surreal and really beautiful moment.” According to Thomas, he was looking at the valley from the top of the mountain, and the sun was shining behind him when this incident happened.
While climbing the Great End in the Lake District, what Thomas saw was an unusual optical illusion described as the Broken Specter, in which a large silhouette of a spectator is cast on clouds or haze. The phenomenon usually occurs on gloomy days when the sun is low in the sky.
“It was a cloudy day, so the clouds were moving in and out of the peak,” Thomas explained. When he looked up and saw his shadow in the center of the rainbow, he said he could see moist particles in the atmosphere. “I was in the moment and enjoying it, thinking to myself, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before,'” he continued.
Thomas was able to record the spectacular natural optical illusion on his phone. In the photo, a man can be seen floating above the earth while he was looking at a drop when he shot the photo.
According to the BBC, the term Brocken Specter was first introduced to Germany in 1780, named after the mountain on which it was initially observed. Brocken, the highest point of the Harz Mountains, is often covered with fog or haze.
