A CAFE owner has called in the ghost-hunters after claiming to have seen a spirit on his security camera.

Chills went down Dan Clifford's spine¹ when he checked his CCTV and saw what he's convinced was a ghostly apparition²（幽灵，幻影） hovering³ over a table set for two.

He summoned a team of ghost specialists, who said the sighting – said to be a figure of a woman – was the most striking evidence they had come across in almost 10 years.

Dan, 35, said yesterday: "The first time I saw the shadow moving on the camera my heart went nuts. I thought there was an intruder in the shop.

"But when I looked closer I realised it couldn't be a live human being – I could see right through it."

The CCTV image was taken in the dead of night after something set off a motion sensor⁴. And Dan claims it's not the only evidence of ghostly goings-on at his Curiositeaz Vintage Tea Room in Perth.

He said: "Over the past few months, all the staff have experienced something.

"Some have heard voices. Others have witnessed chairs moving and one was pushed forwards and felt a chill right down their spine.

"We've also had a number of mediums（手段，材料） stopping in because they felt something when they walked by."

"Some have told of feeling the presence of a woman, which fits with our newest image.

"I have always believed in the spirit world but I'd never experienced anything like this until we opened Curiositeaz less than a year ago. It's all been very exciting."

Dan has shown his CCTV images to ghost enthusiasts⁵ from Paranormal Investigation⁶ Scotland, and has talked to them about the other strange happenings at his cafe.

He has also fitted high-tech⁷ new cameras which take still and moving images if sensors⁸ detect anything larger than a cat.

A spokesman for Paranormal Investigation Scotland said: "This is the most convincing image we have seen in almost a decade, so we were keen to start looking into it."

The experts will return to the cafe next month, with some of Scotland's best-known mediums in tow（在一起） . They'll monitor the tea room overnight for signs of ghosts.
