'Ghost’ captured in rainbow photos

Amateur photographer Mikhail Baevsky was stunned to see this human-like, ghostly image on his photographs of the Chatyr-Dag mountains in Ukraine.

Mr Baevsky, a science lecturer, says the strange sight had probably been caused by the weather but has not ruled out a more supernatural explanation.

‘I was scanning the horizon for a good shot and while turning my head noticed the dark, ghostly figure behind me,’ said the 59-year-old.

‘It was scary at first but I stayed calm and took as many shots as I could before it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.’

The pictures were taken at 1,525m (5,010ft) – the highest point of the range of mountains.

‘My background suggests there must be some logic behind it. But it does looks amazing and I can’t decide on an plausible explanation,’ added Mr Baevsky.
