Original news

Les personnes qui travaillent dans un vieux château écossais construit il y a environ 700 ans sont persuadées avoir filmé une présence fantomatique à l’aide d’une caméra vidéo. Ce revenant étant transparent et d’une forme difficile à établir …

Ces sinistres images ont été enregistrées par une webcam placée à l’intérieur du magnifique château de Drum, situé à proximité du village de Drumoak dans l’Aberdeenshire, au Nord de l’Ecosse. Il y a quelques temps le National Trust for Scotland avaient placé des caméras dans les édifices du bâtiment dans le but d’observer le processus de nidification des hirondelles cet été.

Plus tard, lorsque les scientifiques regardèrent leurs images prises pendant la nuit, ils découvrirent un « étrange brouillard ».

La webcam avait été activée par le mouvement de cette chose inexpliquée qui a alors déclenché l’appareil photo. Les chercheurs sont certains que ce « brouillard » n’a été causé ni par une hirondelle, ni par un insecte.

Le Dr Alison Burke, qui travaille pour le National Trust for Scotland s’est exprimé sur ce cas :

« Tout le monde me dit que le Château de Drum est un lieu hanté et qu'il se passent des événements étranges ici. »

« J’ai toujours été très sceptique sur ce sujet, mais il y a eu trop d'événements inexplicables pour qu’ils puissent être ignorés. »

« Je dois admettre que, quand j’ai visionné ce qu’avait pris la caméra et que j’ai trouvé cette image, un frisson m’a parcouru vers le bas le long de ma colonne vertébrale. »

Les anciennes écuries où la brume mystérieuse a été capturée sont considérées par le personnel et les bénévoles comme possédant une atmosphère assez étrange.

Dans ce lieu ainsi que dans les jardins, plusieurs personnes ont affirmé avoir entendu deux femmes qui riaient aux éclats alors qu’il n’y avait strictement personne.

Certaines prétendent que le fantôme d’Anna Forbes, la femme du 20ème Laird. Des bruits de pas ont également été entendus dans les couloirs où le sol est en pierre.

Le château fut construit au XIIIème siècle avant d’être accordé à William Irvine en 1323 par Robert le Bruce qui était alors le roi d’Ecosse. Le lieu connut diverses améliorations au fil des siècles dont une extension qui fut ajoutée en 1619 par Alexander Irvine et son épouse Marion Douglas.

Le château, le jardin et la totalité de l’immobilier ont été confiés aux soins de la National Trust for Scotland depuis 1976.

STAFF at a 700-year-old Scottish castle believe they have captured a ghost on camera.

The spooky image was recorded on the motion-activated webcam at Drum Castle, Aberdeenshire.

The National Trust for Scotland’s wildlife team set up cameras in the castle’s stables as part of a project to observe a nesting family of swallows this summer

But when checking the pictures captured overnight they discovered the mysterious image, described as a “strange mist”.Since the webcam is motion-activated, something with a physical presence must have triggered the camera to take the picture but staff are certain the mist was not caused by a swallow or an insect.

Dr Alison Burke, the National Trust for Scotland’s Property Manager at Drum Castle said: “Everyone tells me that Drum Castle is a haunted place and that there are strange happenings here.

“I have always been highly sceptical but there have been too many inexplicable events that cannot be ignored.

“I have to admit, when I checked the camera and found this image a cold shiver ran down my spine.”

The creepy photo is the latest in a line of spooky goings on at the castle, near Banchory.

The old stables where the mysterious mist was captured are regarded by staff and volunteers as having a fairly odd atmosphere.

At the stables and in the adjacent garden that people have reported hearing two women laughing together despite no-one being present.

Other strange occurrences include sightings of a female figure believed to be Anna Forbes, wife of the 20th laird. Heavy footsteps have also been heard in the stone-floored corridor.

In the castle’s Chintz Bedroom, which is said to be very cold, linen and items in the dresser have been moved when no-one had access to the room.William de Irwyn was gifted the Royal Forest of Drum and the Tower of Drum by King Robert the Bruce in 1323, making it one of Scotland’s oldest tower houses.

The tower has had various improvements over the centuries, including a Jacobean mansion house extension in 1619 built by Alexander Irvine and his wife Marion Douglas.

But the Irvine family hit financial trouble later in the 17th century, leading to much of the estate -- except the castle and surrounding land -- being lost.

They family found were the losing side in both the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite uprisings.

Mary Irvine hid her brother, the 17th laird, in a secret chamber at Drum to save him from capture by the Redcoats after Culloden.

By the 19th century the family’s fortunes were on the up and they made various alterations to the castle, including the 1876 extension which added corridors and an entrance hall to the castle, designed by the architect David Bryce and built by his nephew.

The castle, garden and estate has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland since 1976.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.

Objects and light sources out of focus

When the objects are out of focus, their silhouettes blurred and poorly recognizable. They can look like dark or colored translucent stain. This is often the cobwebs, spiders, insects in front of the camera.
