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.

Amazed residents recorded the footage with some even suggesting that it could have been a 'vortex' to a lost civilisation.

The pictures have baffled experts who visited the city to check that there were not actually any of the building already there.

It is believed that the sight may have been a mirage - a form of illusion that is common in in humid weather.

The phenomenon is caused when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of water below.

As the rays of sunlight cross from the colder air into the warmer air it is 'bent' or refracted - creating a reflection in the air.

The patterns in the mirage are typically blurred and shimmering with a resemblance to human structures. They are similar to a reflection seen in water.

Although they happen occasionally, the mirage in China is believed to be one of the clearest ever recorded. Shimmering: The apparent mirage shows the detailed outlines of buildings that experts may have been reflected from the surrounding city

'It's really amazing, it looks like a scene in a movie, in a fairlyland,' said one resident.

She said that a number of similar sights had been seen recently although this one was the most spectacular.

A number of mirages have previous been reported in China. In 2006, English-language paper China Daily published four images of what it said were mirages off the coast of Eastern China's Shandong province.

Very odd indeed.

I'd have to see a before and after clip to verify that there is nothing usually there from that viewpoint.

It's certainly not a "mirage", which would just be a fluid like reflection appearing like water.

Here are a few clips of what they're talking about...

You'd think that if this were for real, someone would have taken a boat over to that "mirage" to see if it was really there...

While the evidence is inconclusive what I think might have occurred is that a window opened temporarily giving us a view of a parallel universe. There are stories that suggest that every now and then we will synchronize with one for short periods - the appearance of strange people speaking no known language and other events. Charles Fort recorded some as have others. It is just a theory of course, but it would explain the observed data.

Could be that floating island out of Gullivers' Travels.
