English Heritage has shared an image of an unexplained ghostly apparition captured on CCTV in front of a castle.  The pale figure wearing dark clothing and a hood was spotted at Chester Castle, UK.

Staff were alerted in the middle of the night when motion detecting cameras picked up “unusual movement”.

When a security guard went to investigate, the area was empty and his usually fearless dog refused to enter. A full search of the locked compound was carried out but no intruder was ever found.

The castle is protected by large spikes in the battlements and further cameras to detect anyone climbing over the gates.

English Heritage did not rule out whether the mysterious figure was a ghost.

Nearly half of staff say they have witnessed something they could not explain. Staff have reported dozens of ghostly sightings at the charity’s castles, abbeys and historic houses across the country.
