Who you gonna call?

Last week I helped a mate install a motion sensor camera in his record shop.

Basically the camera can be viewed live at any time but it sends you a picture if it detects any motion.

It's on a very busy main road and has been as quiet as a mouse the whole time it's been set up.

Until a few hours ago, when it sent us this little beauty.

The building was built in 1605 and everyone who works there has a weird eery feeling when they go upstairs.

I've never really believed in ghosts, so this has come as a bit of a shock and I'm hoping some of you will have a really boring explanation.

Failing that, Bill Murray's phone number would be great, cause it looks like WE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome! Can you link to or post the full size pic? I mean, I already believe it's legit. I just want to get a better look at it to see if any detail stands out.

Nice one, and good luck with that. Really, that's alot of energy being pushed around by someone or something. I do spirit rescue and that is quite a photo.

I'll see what I can do!

That thing is huge! Wonder what the hell it is???

That's weird. Maybe it's Casper.

Tell me about the time the pic was taken, daytime, night time? is there a window nearby?

That is a cracker shot.

Any video footage?

Cool picture, thanks for sharing it!

The only mundane explanation that comes to my mind right away is a bug. The image reminds me of the "blue ghost" on the gas station security video that turned out to be most likely a bug crawling across the lens. The shape, and that it is "blown out" make that a possibility, I think.


But... I'd love to hear more about the history of the place, if you know anything more than what you already shared. Any other evidence caught by anyone over the years?

Night time, there is a small window which can be seen to the right of the image.

The light appears to be moving towards the fireplace.

Looks like it was nightime.
Im betting its a bug, or piece of paper etc, but it's floating around right in front of the lens. This causes the camera to cast all of it's IR light on it, creating a hotspot.
As a CCTV installer/professional I see this kind of stuff all the time.
I mean, I guess it could be a ghost, but chances are its something much more mundane.

The camera has only been set up a week or so, there's no specific spooky story to the building, but it's been up since 1605.

I'll share more if I can get it

Neat, no matter what it is!

On the left, if you zoom the picture, it looks like the point of origin is circular and flat with the flat edge pointed slightly towards the camera. I hate to say it looks like a portal but it looks like a portal.

While I'm not new to this sort of thing, the "portal" origin part is something I've never actually seen before, if that's what it is.

Convincing account to accompany photo S & F!

I don't usually post in these forums because, well, they ook me out!

But this is as legit as I've seen. There may be mundane answers, but . . . .

“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Is there any possibility of light reflecting off of something from the window?

Good capture. I look forward to following along and seeing other answers.

I don't mean to be a buzz-kill here, but that looks very clearly to me like glare from a light passing into the field of view. If I were to bet, a car drove by and the light from the headlights shown through the window to create this effect.

Motion detection is simply looking for a change in light, hence my explanation. The blur on the light is indicative of the light coming into the frame quickly, as would happen as a car's headlights point directly into the window while turning.

If I see the window correctly, it looks to be on the same horizontal plane as the light smear, which means, really any light source could explain this; Lightning could also be a good explanation.

the only problem with it being a car (my first thought too) is that it's on a VERY busy high street and through road in the city.

We should be getting these every 3 seconds if its cars!

It's also on the third floor of the building...

Probably something mundane as you say tho

What's on the bookshelves to the right, near the end/start of the ....whatever it is? Or I guess it's shelves on the mantle?
