Simon Howard’s photograph at Kent’s Cavern in Torquay, Devon, shows what looks to be a face formed from an eerie mist up against the side of cave paintings.
Acrhaelogists have been working in the prehistoric caves for over 200 years. A 40,000 year old jawbone
from a Neanderthal Man was discovered by scholars in the cave in 1927 and is among the oldest evidence of Homo spaiens in northwest Europe.
The cavern is recognised as a vitally important location in Britain’s palaeolithic era.
Howard said, “We were on a tour round the caves and I happened to snap a picture inside the Bear’s Den chamber while waiting for the other members of the tour to arrive.
“Later on when I took a look at the photo I saw this mist which was not visible at the time.
“I won’t say what I think I can see in the picture – I’ll let people decide for themselves.”
This is not the first unusual sighting from Kent’s Cavern. James Hull, who works in the cave, told press; “There have been some strange and unexplained happenings in the caves down the years, as I’ve personally experienced on some of the paranormal investigation nights we have held here,”

What do you think? Does this photograph show anything? Do you believe it?
Are ghosts of Neanderthals any less likely than ghosts of modern man?
