Like a wraith rising from the grave, a Spanish ghost town—intentionally flooded by the Lindoso Reservoir some 30 years ago—appeared to rise from the depths late last November amidst receding water levels.

The haunting apparition of a town, called Aceredo, near Lobios, Ourense province, in northwestern Spain, which reemerges every few years from its watery grave, is now a place of leisure for tourists and sightseers.
