A SPOOKY encounter with what seems to be a ghostly figure left a north Wales man 'scared for his life'.

There are many a tale of ghostly figures haunting several parts of the region down the years.

From Plas Mawr in Conwy to Abergele's Grwych Castle, there are many scary stories that have sent a shiver down the spine.

Some are sceptical, but others swear blind that they have experienced something paranormal.

And, this week, one north Wales resident had a frightening moment of his own to share.

Kieran Thomas was out and about in the Corwen area when he took the rather creepy image above.

It seems to show a see-through, ghostly figure standing among the trees (circled by Kieran in the pic).

Kieran, who is from the north Wales town, posted to the Corwen Community Forum, saying: "Spotted this on Forestry Road in Corwen. I was scared for my life so I ran."

He said: "I took the photo as I felt on edge and was very cautious of my surroundings."

Some people commenting underneath Kieran's post on the community forum agreed that the figure looks like a 'hooded woman'.

Others were puzzled as to what it could be and some even suggested that they have experienced similar sightings in the same area.
