Does this picture, taken at Wepre Park in Deeside, show the ghost of Nora the nun?
An amateur photographer from Flintshire has been left scratching his head after snapping a strange shot of a waterfall.

Robert Hampton, of Connah's Quay, noticed the strange shape of one of Wepre Park's most notorious ghostly legends in one of his photographs.

"I decided to use the waterfall as the feature for a photography exercise and I noticed something mysterious," he said.

"There is a stone in the centre of the cascade, which causes a parting of flow of the waterfall.

"With a long exposure time, this appears as a flowing outline with a pair of eyes peering out from a habit."

The mysterious outline could arguably be that of Nora the nun, the story of whom has been told by generations of visitors to Wepre Park at Connah's Quay, Deeside.

She has allegedly been spotted several times over the years and is said to wander the paths of the park, humming and singing.

Robert said: "These pictures are only meant in fun, but it does look quite strange and the story is that Nora can be heard singing by the waterfall."

Are these pictures proof of ghostly goings-on at Wepre Park?

lol - when i was younger we were always up wepre park after the pubs shut and nobody ever saw nora the nun. maybe the shadow in the waterfall is what sparked the whole nora story to begin with. i dont think she is real.

Its quite clearly the rocks behind the waterfall, Surely people can see that! Ghosts dont normally show themselfs in day light. Bloody mad thinking that this picture is of a ghost, what ya on? who ever took this pic.
