Looking through old group photos is always a delightful trip down memory lane. Sometimes there are funny faces or unexpected moments captured on film. But for a group of women at a bachelorette party in Scotland, one particular photo had a surprise that left them baffled.
This party, consisting of ten young women, had gathered at The Coylet Inn, a charming estate located on Loch Eck in Argyll, Scotland. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the inn dates back to 1650 and provided the perfect backdrop for their celebration.
Excited for a fun night out, the women decided to take a few group photos. They posed by the lake, ready to create lasting memories. Little did they know that they would discover something peculiar when they later reviewed the pictures.
In one of the photos, there appeared to be eleven people instead of just ten. In the bottom left corner, a little boy gazed at the girls. Strangely, no one had noticed the boy before, and he certainly wasn’t present at the time the photo was taken. Additionally, the hotel staff confirmed that there were no boys on the premises. It seemed that this mysterious boy had only appeared in this single group photo.
Unsettled by this discovery, the girls decided to investigate the hotel’s history. As they delved deeper into its past, they learned a chilling tale. Legend had it that a four-year-old boy, who lived in the hotel with his mother, tragically drowned after sleepwalking one night. His lifeless body was discovered the following day, marked by the coldness of the water.
Naturally, the girls felt uneasy. The thought of the boy from the photo potentially being the same child who met his unfortunate end years ago was too unsettling to bear. With trepidation, they made the unanimous decision to leave the hotel. The allure of the picturesque setting couldn’t outweigh the eerie vibes.
News of the strange photo began to circulate when the pictures were shared online. In August 2018, a Reddit user named Marcusps1 posted a series of images from the bachelorette party, causing the story to go viral. The post included the perplexing photo along with the comment, “This was taken in the middle of an estate in Scotland – no other people around especially not young kids/little men.”
To this day, the mysterious appearance of the little boy in the group photo remains unexplained. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the most captivating stories happen when you least expect them.
