Eerie head in UK public aquarium
What the fuck?
This is just what you’d expect to see in a snap from an aquarium. A shark, blue water — and a disembodied HUMAN HEAD.
Emma Place, 21, took this eerie photo on her phone at Hull’s £53million attraction The Deep.
Boffins at the aquarium admit they are baffled by the appearance of the man’s face, which appears to be gawping up at a shark
Dentistry student Emma, of Doncaster, only spotted the ghoulish face when she arrived home.
She said: “My boyfriend said, ‘what’s that?’ I replied, ‘it’s a shark’.
“He said, ‘no, the face.’ I was like, oh my God! It actually looks quite spooky.
“I’m easily freaked-out.”
Although Emma’s dad Alan, 48, was stood next to her in the glass tunnel, she insists he looks nothing like the man in the photo.
Bosses have spent hours searching CCTV footage, which confirmed the pair were the only ones inside the tunnel.
And they have even tried to recreate conditions in the tunnel where the reflection could appear, but with no success.
The aquarium – on the banks of the Humber estuary – was built on the site of an isolation hospital, where smallpox victims were held.
It’s not the first time ghostly goings-on have been reported.
A night watchman claims to have spotted a shadowy figure in the TimeLine, which charts the history of the world’s oceans.
Colin Brown, chief executive of The Deep, said: “We are a scientific centre and we’re sure there must be a logical explanation.
"It’s just that we can’t find it.
"There must be some sort of optical illusion or reflection of images between the window, but we cannot figure out how it has been done.”
