There are at least ten thousand people living in the United Kingdom who officially earn money through the so-called ghost hunting. These British people are looking for places where, according to popular beliefs and urban legends, phantoms of the other world live, and then they try to capture guests from the afterlife in photographs and videos in order to post the received materials on their popular sites or sell them to journalists.
48-year-old Leonard Lowe of Largs on the west coast of Scotland is one such professional. For more than twelve years now, he has been traveling through Foggy Albion, visiting the most beloved buildings by ghosts and obtaining evidence of the existence of an afterlife. For his dubious, in the opinion of many people, activity, he was even expelled in 2008 from the Catholic Church, as many British newspapers wrote about then.
Lowe recently visited the Scottish town of Pittenheim, where there is a well-preserved medieval dungeon. In the seventeenth century, people suspected of witchcraft were imprisoned and tortured here. Most of the prisoners, as you might guess, were women. Leonard, armed with a camera, spent the night within the walls of the building, and, according to a specialist, he managed to capture the ghost of a young girl in the picture.
The ghost hunter tells
After sunset, he turned on electric candles in several rooms of the former prison and began to wait. In less than an hour, rustles, creaks and sighs began to be heard around. Lowe took the camera and walked through the dungeon trying to see, or at least film, the supernatural. The sounds grew louder and more frequent, but not a single phantom appeared to the Scotsman, and did not even appear on the video camera. Toward morning, Leonard randomly took several photographs in the hope that something unusual would appear on them, and, as it turned out, he was right.
In one of the pictures, a mysterious figure emerged. The expert increased the contrast of the image and saw the clear outlines of a girl with long hair and dark clothes. The head of a guest from the other world was captured in such a way, as if a ghost shook it incredibly quickly, and for this reason the camera was unable to get a clear image. The phantom seems to have two faces, and one of them seems to open its mouth wide as if in a silent scream. At the same time, the girl's hands mysteriously glow with a golden hue.

Lowe is convinced that this is the spirit of one of the women who once died here after being accused of sorcery. Leonard claims that there were no other people with him that night, and this is easy to prove. The ghost hunter was given permission to visit the dungeon for one person from the Pittenheim City Hall, and the city authorities dispatched a local police officer to drop the tourist at the phantom-infested landmark.
