Spooky snap of loch looking like Grim Reaper captured by Scots photographer

A Scots photographer has captured an eerie pic of a loch looking like the Grim Reaper.

Martin O'Brien, who had been visiting the Kilbowie outdoor centre near Oban, was travelling home via Balquhidder when he decided to stop at the nearby Loch Lubnaig.

He pulled into the car park which was closing and snapped some quick shots of the very still loch.

It was only when he got home and had the chance to look at the pictures properly that he discovered what it reminded him of.

Martin said: "As I was going past Loch Lubnaig I was drawn to how still and eerie the water looked. I decided to go in to the car park to take pics just as they were closing.

"I never realised what I'd snapped until I was making a folder up to put on facebook of my day out. 

"I noticed the skull first and then realised that I could see the vertebrae. 

"Then I clocked that it had a cloak and it looked like the Grim Reaper."

Martin was keen to see if others could see it too so posted the resulting pic on Facebook.

People quickly commented on how "spooky" the picture was and agreed that the could see the Grim Reaper, particularly when the pic was turned on its side.

Others were quick to spot the skull and vertebrae, while another added: "Once you've seen it you can't unsee it."
