Group photos are always a treat to look at. Some pose gracefully, while others can’t help but hilariously express their joy. And when a bachelorette party decided to capture their special moments by a Scottish lake, they had no idea that an unexpected guest would make them flee in terror.
It all started when ten young women, accompanied by the bride-to-be, embarked on a summer adventure at The Coylet Inn—a beautiful estate located on Loch Eck in Argyll, Scotland. Surrounded by breathtaking woods and a serene lake, the inn seemed like the perfect backdrop for their joyous celebrations.

Excited for their night out, the ladies gathered near the lake for a group photo. Little did they know that their innocent picture would hide an unsettling detail.
Upon examining the photo, they discovered an eerie surprise—a little boy they had never seen before. This mysterious child appeared in the bottom left corner of the picture, staring at the group with an eerie gaze.
To make matters worse, no one at the hotel recognized the boy, and there were no children around during the time the photo was taken. The girls felt a chill run down their spines. They learned that the hotel had a dark history, further fueling their fears.
According to local legends, a four-year-old boy who lived in the hotel with his mother tragically drowned in the nearby lake. Now, if the ghostly boy in their photo was the same child, the girls didn’t dare spend another night at the haunted inn.
In a state of unease, the women decided to pack their bags and leave immediately. Their story captured the attention of the internet when the photos went viral on Reddit in August 2018.
One Reddit user, Marcusps1, shared the chilling image with the caption, “This was taken in the middle of an estate in Scotland—no other people around, especially not young kids/little men.”
The experience left the bachelorette party shaken, reminding us all that sometimes, even a seemingly innocent picture can hold ghostly surprises. So, the next time you take a group photo, make sure to double-check for any uninvited supernatural guests!
