Hey there suziwong, I can't seem to get your link to work. Hope you manage to fix it because I'd love to see the footage.

I'll check back later.

From the link in the opening post...

The Botcherby ‘ghost’ – captured on a CCTV camera outside Simply Food & Drinks – is causing a stir around the world and shop bosses are drafting in a medium. Since appearing on the News & Star website, 5,000 people have downloaded the mysterious recording of the ghost outside the Durranhill Road shop. Images of the apparition have also been picked up by Romanian, Swedish and Japanese news websites. The strange scenes were captured by bemused store staff Trish Nolan and Sonya Hird when the spirit appeared to drift in and out of the shop almost 10 times in one hour last week.

...Hmm pretty weird

EDIT: I couldn't find a way to get a video uploaded here so i'll give a link to where you can watch it.

That is one of the best videos of an apparition I've ever seen! Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

The link works for me ?

Try this for the footage

This may be the best ghost footage I have ever seen. The thing gains height walking up the stairs, it even uses the proper area to clear the door.

Upon exiting, it follows the path down the stairs towards the street. Seems like intelligent movement.

Loved it! Thanks for posting!

Yep this link worked for me ... thanks for taking the time.

As for the footage ... very interesting ... I don't see how it could have been hoaxed in any way ... from what you see in the clip it looks genuine.

As an investigator myself I would suggest they get someone in ... set-up more equipment more camera angles etc and of course do some research on the shop ... patrons who have died and what was in the spot before the shop was built ... so much follow-up could be done on this but I bet it's allowed to slip away and become no-more than a spooky story. Shame.

Thanks for sharing great clip.

Now that really is the best "ghost" footage I have ever seen.

S&F

Are you all serious? It's very clearly something small and out of focus right in front the camera. It doesn't go into the building, you can see it right between the wall of the building and the camera in the upper right hand corner of frame. It's just a little bit harder to see because the object is light colored and so is the wall behind it, but if you look even sort of closely you can easily tell that it is there.

Are you all percieving it as though it is moving around on the ground, and then going into the building? It is floating around right in front of the camera and you can see it float to the upper right hand corner of the screen and this is when it kind of looks like it goes inside, but it doesn't and this is apparent upon even brief inspection. You are seeing what you have been told you will see.

It is something small and out of focus right in front of the camera, and almost certainly not a small out of focus ghost floating around two inches from the camera lense.

If this is the best ghost footage you've ever seen then... well... what's the point. It's pathetic.

It's a blur on a camera. Any investigation into this twaddle would be an utter waste of time and money. Ridiculous.

The footage only shows one of a number of strange images captured

"McKie noted 14 ‘ghostly’ appearances on Saturday and seven on Sunday."

There were also other strange occurances:-

"“We have six cameras in the store and they have been randomly switching off, but the date and time have remained on the screen.
“The camera outside the store also appears to show a light come on inside the shop late at night.
“But at this time the light would have been off, they are all on a timer, and the shutters down.”

At the end of the footage, the shape goes towards the road and you can just about make out a pair of legs

"One theory says that the spook has been disturbed by workmen renovating a flat across the road, which was also said to have been haunted."

They probably want to call in a medium to interrograte it about possible shoplifting or voyeurism or some other kind of obscure thought crime... Well that's a police state for you.

But that's defintely a ghost!

I would have to agree, it looks to me like something on or real close to the camera. The blob never seems to enter the store, it just moves to the top right off camera, then there is some edit and you see it moving back across the other way.

Some of these responses make me laugh. It's a ghost blob that can walk through walls, but its still using the door and then when its moving back down to the street it decides to grow some legs?

I always entertain the possibility that I may be wrong, but it certainly seems to be something on the camera.

I think that it's an insect (flying or bug) that is close to the camera lens.

reply to post by CarolynC


Yeah I think that too.
In my opinion, there's no reason at all to assume it is a ghost.

Very cool if its not fake im sure this is the kinda proof alien research needs would change our world ...

Cool, a ghost moth. At about 10 seconds into the video you can make out the small bug head and wings.

I'm going to have to agree with OnceReturned's assessment of this video. But everyone will see what they want to see instead of what it really is.

Pretty cool video but...

...after watching it a few times, I'm gonna have to go with a bug on the camera.

erm...... has anyone bothered to look at the actual camera to see if there are any bugs or spiders on the lens or behind the camera.....

Looks like every other piece of footage that turned out to be a spider or some kind of fly.....

They need to put a smaller pinhole camera near the front of the CCTV and complare the footage to see if anything crawls across the lens etc....

At first I though it had something to do with the car headlights. As you can see it does seem to correspond with both cars on either lane at the beginning of the clip. That drew me to the lights on the traffic island or whatever it is underneath the date stamp at the top right hand corner. There seems to be some lights changing there.

Could it be somebody across the road with a torch or laser pen pointing it at the camera?
