SHOCKING UPDATE: Dovestone Walker Stumbles a Rare and Terrifying phenomenon Than Northern Lights That Has Spark Serious Concern to The U.S Government

A man walking his dog in Dovestone Reservoir couldn’t believe his eyes when he came upon an incredibly unusual phenomena described in poems and stories – eerily similar to Halloween.

At around 9.20 a.m. on Sunday (October 27), a guy only identified as Duncan stated he was out walking his dog when he decided to hike up to The Trinnacle at Dovestone Reservoir to soak in the spectacular views on a cool and dry morning.

Duncan began recording the clouds drifting in across the valley and first thought to have recorded a rainbow.
However, he received far more than he bargained for when he realized he was seeing a Brocken phantom, a rare meteorological phenomena in which a ‘ghostly figure’ appears encircled by a halo-like ring of rainbow-colored light.

Duncan miraculously captured the incident on camera, revealing a faint shadowy person in the midst of bright, flashing lights in the reservoir.

While the unusual optical sight is connected with tales, with many poets and authors over the years pondering the miracle, from Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Charles Dickens to Lewis Carroll, the Met Office emphasizes that its production is science-based.

A Brocken spectre is frequently observed on misty mountainsides and cloud banks, and it is caused when a person stands on a hill surrounded in mist at a certain position with the sun behind them.
The sun casts a shadow, which is “thrown” onto the mist below, creating the illusion of a massive ‘ghostly’ and shadowy figure that appears to move as the clouds and light change.

Duncan responded to the sight, saying, “I’ve never seen one in real, only photographs on social media.

“It appeared considerably clearer to the naked eye.

“When I realised, I was rubbing my eyes.”

Indeed, seeing the spirit is an unusual sight, especially so close to Halloween, when Oldham is expecting plenty of spooky activity.

He went further: “The northern lights were really good and I’m glad we got to see them both times, but Brocken spectres are really rare.”

Johann Silberschlag developed the phrase ‘Brocken spectre’ in 1780, naming it after Brocken, the highest point of Germany’s Harz Mountains, which is famed for its fogs, low height, and, of course, this peculiar occurrence.
