Residents in a Chinese city have been stunned after a giant mirage of a 'ghost city' towered across the skyline.
The apparition appeared earlier this month after heavy rainfall and humid conditions along the Xin'an River in Huanshan City in East China.
Tall buildings, mountains and trees appeared to rise up through the ghostly mist that had descended over the river at dusk. There is usually nothing buy sky across the horizon.
The most amazing mirage that I have seen occurred while we were traveling between Springfield and Lamar on hwy 287 (as best I remember).
To the west you could see the Rocky Mountain range spread out from the north to south. If you looked to the east you saw a vast lake behind which was the same Rocky Mountain range in reverse. The atmosphere to the east was reflecting what was opposite as would a mirror. (The lake portion was merely where the sky was being reflected or something.)
