Does the video show some kind of unknown creature? Or is there a more normal explanation? What's Your Opinion?

I see a spider web at night. Before anyone calls me narrow minded, I do believe in ghosts. I believe in reincarnation and even faeries. What I don't believe is how some people can look at this and think it's paranormal. This is the kind of thing that makes people think paranormal research of any kind is a joke.

yes, i think so, you need to watch those videos, transparent sort of beings, and the eyes that are like 12 or so feet off the ground is very creepy. hidden cameras in the middle of nowhere. he explains it all, and he is blown away by what he has video taped !!i think he has truely found something unique. he is indian and a very spiritual person. these videos of his are real. and if someone chooses not to believe what he has found, he could care less. i believe he is true. watch them and decide for yourself

check out user name reality ghost on you tube, he has video of the same thing but more. i think its videos 35 thru 40. very very strange

There is a real mystery here, that being why anyone would think there is a mystery here. A spider web blowing in the breeze is the only thing it looks like and the only thing it is.

After reading cynical responses to this video, can anyone compellingly explain the illuminated discs fluctuating from one end of this entity to the other? And, if it is a 'web' wouldn't you think that the infrared light would pick up more or less of the 'rod' instead of being perfectly focused on the object as it sways in the wind. Seems to me that the ever increasing light beam width would create the illusion that the creature was shrinking and expanding depending on the distance from the lens as it moved or was blown by a gentle breeze. And, has anyone noticed what tripped the camera in the first place? Since all of you have crituqued the video so closely, maybe you also noticed the small animal that activated the camera when the 'creature' was videod. I don''t see any 'fifteen minutes' here, only a poor old schmuck that was videoing a feeder when this occurred.

It definitely is web, thread, or wire of some sort. At some points of the video you can see that it extends off to the left (very faint but you can see it). It does not move like most "rod" videos I have seen. It moves exactly like a web in the breeze.

This happens to me a lot when I am crusing in my car. My husband of the the last 16 years was just telling a few friends about it. I thought it was kinda funny, but then he said that my aura scared him. I was a little suprised because I haven't noticed just how often the occurences were but he has and he is a little freaked out about it. I am just glad to know that I am not alone. I still don't know if my aura has anything to do with it.

I look at this and I see someone playing with lights on the spider web...nothing strange about it

It's a spider web really close to the camera. How many of these orb/creature photo/video takers are going to continue completely ignoring when something is clearly way to close to the camera, and continue to interpret it as some strange thing.

I agree that it is likely just light playing on a spider's web at night. It doesn't remotely resemble any kind of creature . Instead of titling this video 'feeder creature', a better title would be 'Nighttime Reflections'. The video does not show a creature, and isn't the least bit mysterious.

Don't think its a rod. But alot of baby sizes orb in line togater. I analyze this the photo steel before the is run. And found spirit. Let me and i can show you.

In the video what we see a band of light shifting from here to there. I may be narrow minded however that is all that I see. And yes, I know we live in times that we want our fifteen minutes but the designation of a feeder creature is a stretch of the imagination. To be fair I wasn't there and still only see a band of light.
—Darkenwulf

It is silk from a spiders's web blowing in the breeze. The strand extends across the entire shot but the light is only reflected on the middle of it because the light is mounted centrally to the camera. This is a sensational shot only if you didn't realize spiders make webs at night.
—Guest jaymacgthree

The light moves like a laser beam from a pointer. Using forced perspective to record the image does make it look like it is inspecting the feeder. I am not sure why the beam does not fluctuate lengthwise but stays straight as it moves.
