apercevoir

On raconte même que la reine Victoria aurait aperçu ces deux fantômes.
It is even said that Queen Victoria witnessed the ghostly pair herself.
Alors il aurait aperçu distinctement des cavernes dans lesquelles vivaient des hippopotames, de vertes montagnes frangées de dentelles d’or, des moutons aux cornes d’ivoire, des chevreuils blancs, des habitants avec des ailes membraneuses comme celles de la chauve-souris.
He then distinctly perceived caverns frequented by hippopotami, green mountains bordered by golden lace-work, sheep with horns of ivory, a white species of deer and inhabitants with membranous wings, like bats.
