Google Street view captures Victorian ghost walking in Cardiff
This creepy image was snapped by Google for its Street View map feature. It shows what seems to be a floating Victorian ghost in Cardiff, right near the Torchwood headquarters. According to the Telegraph, "experts" have been called in to analyze the photograph, because so many unsolved murders happened in this square over the centuries.

Since then, the lore of Nessie has grown and grown.
