A police officer under the Philippine National Police-Regional Mobile Group is claiming that a "white lady" or a ghost apparition, has been captured on his mobile phone video.

Reports reaching the capital city Manila showed that the police were conducting operations in a remote village in Bacolod City in central Philippines, when one of them took a video of his companions and the mountainous area around noon on Monday.

However, when they returned to the police headquarters, they were surprised when they reviewed the video to see a female figure in a white flowing gown on the side of a mountain.

The officer who took the video insists he did not see any woman in white on the mountain or nearby when he took the shot.

Superstition is still a widely-held belief in rural Philippines and there are always reports of strange thing happening in far-flung villages.
