The ghostly shape of a woman is visible in this image of a painting of Charles II, taken at Edinburgh Castle in 2003. The photographer believes that the woman has her hand on the king's shoulder
A survey of people's ghostly experiences is also being launched at the Edinburgh Science Festival.
'Ten per cent of the population have had a ghostly experience, but no-one yet has carried out a survey of what kind of experiences they have,' said Prof Wiseman. 'We know ghosts tend to be seen as solid figures, which only reveal themselves as ghosts when they do something like walking through a wall.'
