Have you seen the Brocken Spectre? Hunt for spooky ‘supernatural’ weather event sees tourists swarm to Burley Moor
TOURISTS have been swarming to a Bradford moor to hunt for a spooky "supernatural" weather phenomena that projects their shadows through the mist. They come in search of the Brocken Spectre - a phenomena so bizarre it inspired tragic tales in German folklore and has been variously recognised as a leprechaun, the Scottish Big Foot and the Brocken bow. First described in Germany's Harz Mountains, walkers have reported a flurry of recent sightings in Burley Moor in West Yorks., with sightings also common in Derbyshire and Scotland. Their dramatic photos show a magnificent optical illusion caused when sunshine shines behind the observer as they stand above the upper surface of a cloud - on a mountain or high ground - with the sun behind them. The triangular shadow is then sometimes surrounded by a rainbow halo that surrounds the shape. Locals attested to the fright factor that the sudden apparation can cause.

Romney calls for ‘disturbing’ family separations to stop
Elise Viebeck, The Washington Post Published 8:07 pm, Monday, June 18, 2018 WEST JORDAN, Utah - Republican Senate candidate Mitt Romney called on the Trump administration on Monday to stop separating immigrant families at the southern border, calling the controversy a "humanitarian crisis" that will require Congress to devise a permanent solution. Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, declined to blame President Donald Trump or the Department of Homeland Security specifically in remarks to a group of voters at a park here. He called images of children separated from their parents "pretty disturbing" and "heartbreaking." "I think immediately we should go back to the setting where we're not ripping children away from their parents, and then we expect Congress to take whatever action is necessary to fix this on a permanent basis," Romney said. "I believe the right answers will be held with the administration and the Congress working together," he said.
