Ghost Videos

By , About.com Guide

With the widespread use of video cameras, cell phone video and surveillance video, more and more videos of possible ghosts are surfacing. Here are several for your review.

Attic Appartion

This is a very interesting video. There definitely seems to be something there... but what? It is a dark, semi-transparent shape that roils around quickly, almost in a cloud-like manner. It is positioned behind some of the wood beams and in front of others, indicating that it is really there -- a figure of some substance.

Bijou Theater Ghost Video

Bijou Theater GhostETPRS

This video, captured by the East Tennessee Paranormal Research Society, was taken in the ladies room of the Bijou Theater in Knoxville, where patrons reported possible paranormal activity. The video shows an anomaly briefly and quickly moving across the bottom of the screen. Is it a ghost, a piece of clothing, a reflection... something else?

Colonial Park Cemetery Ghost

Here is an interesting video taken in a Savannah, Georgia cemetery on December 31, 2008. It appears to show a small child, possibly a boy, running in the background. But then it seems like he leaps up into a tree in a rather impossible manner, then drops to the ground and vanishes. Has the camera merely captured a real boy running combined with a strange illusion? Or has it videotaped a real ghost?

The security cameras in an IGA grocery store caught a package of Roll-Ups mysteriously landing in the middle of an aisle. The store owner says no one was in the store at the time and the aisles were clear. Yet at 11:30, the package of Roll-Ups seems to be thrown into the aisle.

Ogden Poltergeist

In this security camera video from an undisclosed location in Ogden, Utah, a plate seems to fly off a shelf and land several feet away. Two men, identified as security guards, soon show up to investigate. But is this a staged hoax, which could have been accomplished with fishing line? Or are we seeing genuine poltergeist activity?

The Phantom Horseman of Cairo

This video was recorded off a TV screen by a man and his family who were watching coverage of the protests on the streets of Cairo, Egypt on February 2, 2011. The video appears to show what looks like the ghostly green image of a rider on horseback moving through the crowd and fading away. Is it a real ghost? Or just a weird reflection?

Race Track Ghost Video

Del Mar shadowmanSouth Coast Paranormal

The Del Mar Race Track in Del Mar, California has experienced quite a bit of haunting and poltergeist activity over the years. Recently, when the South Coast Paranormal team investigated, they recorded this interesting video in the track's first-floor pub. A dark, shadowy figure crosses the area, followed by a flash of light. Is there a logical explanation? Or does this video show a genuine ghost or shadow person?
