Ghostly apparition of entire city appears over Chinese river... but is it just a mirage?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.
