A TEAM of ghostbusters have been left spooked by a mystery animal encounter near a Fort William sports field.
Jim Morrison, his fiancé Heather MacLeod and Lynsey Dibsdale were conducting a paranormal investigation of Old Inverlochy Castle when they claim two "menacing" tail-less beasts ran across their path on a road leading to Black Parks on the banks of the River Lochy.
The trio, who run their own investigations unit called USI Paranormal, are desperate to get to the bottom of the mystery meeting which happened in the early hours of last Monday.
Jim, from Kinlochleven, told the Lochaber News: "We were doing an all-night investigation at Old Inverlochy Castle and also at the old and new cemeteries at Corpach.
"We were getting no results from either site in terms of any paranormal activity.
"Then at 3am, as we were walking along the road from the castle towards Inverlochy village, we saw two strange animals in the middle of the road.
"I actually only saw the first one, but Heather and Lynsey said there were two.
"They had the body of a greyhound, but were taller, no tail, muscular with very white eyes and a sheep-like face. They looked at us and then crossed the road going towards the river. We watched them and then it looked like they were coming towards us so we quickly made our way back to the castle.
"We didn't really want to hang around. They looked menacing.
"It was all very strange."
Jim wonders whether the animals could be related to a recorded "Alien Big Cat" sighting in Glen Nevis nearly a decade ago.
Two witnesses running in the area observed a three metre long "cat" drinking from the River Nevis.
One of the women said it looked like a "tail-less tiger" with white eyes with no pupils.
The creature ran off when it spotted the runners.
The local press reported the deaths of several sheep in Glen Nevis a few days after the sighting.
Jim, Heather and Lynsey set up USI (Unexplained Sights Investigations) Paranormal a year ago. Using equipment to pick up electro-magnetic fields and digital voice recorders, they conduct paranormal surveys of sights across Lochaber including castles, graveyards as well as homes and hotels.
"Unfortunately, we didn't get any paranormal results from Old Inverlochy Castle or the Corpach graveyards that night, so it looks like the rumours of hauntings are just that," said Jim.

'Scary' internet plot to disrupt live TV ghost-hunter show sparks security alert
By Daily Mail Reporter
8 January 2010
A bizarre plot to disrupt a live TV ghost show and even attack its presenter has been uncovered.
Bloggers on a so-called 'urban exploration' website were caught discussing plans to wreck tomorrow's opening edition of 'Most Haunted'.
The show is being broadcast every evening for the next seven days from a deserted RAF base in Norfolk.
The episode - called The Silent Town - is expected to focus on ghosts and spirits said to haunt RAF West Raynham, which lost 86 planes during bombing raids and attacks on Nazis.
Fronted by ex-Blue Peter presenter Yvette Fielding, the show on Living TV is watched by more than half a million viewers.
But after Most Haunted announced its new location for the January show, bloggers on an urban exploration site quickly hatched a plan to turn the tables on the programme.
Urban explorers sneak into disused buildings - from manor houses to military bases and closed down mental institutions - and take photos of the site before posting the pictures online and describing the site.
But in a new twist, a group of the explorers - who are well-acquainted with the layout of RAF West Raynham - said they wanted use their knowledge of the site to 'scare the s***' out of the presenters live on TV.
One called dangerous dave even offered a pint of beer to anyone who smacks Yvette Fielding.
He said on the blog: 'If someone does a hit on that dippy cow in Most Haunted (Yvette Fielding) there's a pint in it.'
Another said: 'Right - lets go f*** with them and don our white sheets.'
One member, calling himself ukmayhem, asked the blog: 'Is it illegal to disrupt live filming?'
Another added: 'I'd be right up for messing with their show, its such bulls***. We are currently working on a plan.'
A reply on the same thread stated: 'We really should arrange to sneak in and scare the s*** out of them - what's the best options for spooking the spook-hunters?'
One blogger branded the Most Haunted team 'w******', adding: 'I am gutted that Most Haunted are going to ruin the place.'
In 2006 filming on Most Haunted was cancelled after three members of the crew were 'slashed by an unseen force' on their backs an legs as they investigated underground vaults in Edinburgh on Halloween.
And former presenter Derek Acorah was regularly 'possessed' by phantoms and even 'pulled down a mineshaft' by a spirit during a live episode in West Yorkshire in 2005.
RAF Raynham has two runways, four hangars and a watch tower which was used to direct bombing missions to Germany.
Until 1994 the base was used as a summer training camp for soldiers, but in the past 16 years it has fallen into a state of total disrepair and was sold by the Ministry of Defence in 2005 to a private housing contractor.
The 160-acre site, however, remains a deserted wasteland with remnants of it's past history strewn all over the base.
The interactive live show, presented by Yvette Fielding on location and by Paul Ross in the studio, uses demonologists and historians to explain to viewers what is going on.
Viewers can also access four webcams and report ghostly happenings to the studio online.
A spokesman for Living TV said today that they were aware of the plans and that security was now 'tight'.
She added: 'Disruption to the live show will be almost impossible.'
