The internet loves a good old optical illusion, and we've seen all sorts of weird and wonderful examples over the past few months. But while most are digital creations, every now and again an example appears out in the wild – and these incredible 'floating' ships might just be the most mind-boggling phenomenon we've seen.

Last week, a walker was stunned to see a boat hovering above the water in Cornwall, and a photo of his discovery quickly went viral. And as if that wasn't enough, a second example of the rare illusion has just emerged. At this rate, 'ability to capture floating ships' might need introducing as a criteria for our best cameras list.
