This is the extraordinary moment a 'GHOST' floats across the entrance to an historic castle.
In the incredible clip, a dark, wispy figure can be seen slowly walking across the entrance at Dover Castle in Kent before disappearing.
A bemused security guard can then be seen searching in vain for the mysterious spectre.
The one minute, 11 second clip was uploaded to YouTube by a user known only as spyder1spanner2.
A message accompanying the post read: “I promise you this is not a fake.
"It’s filmed on CCTV at Dover Castle on to a mobile.
“I wouldn't even know how to start making this a fake, to be honest.”
One viewer, Louise Hampton, was impressed with the footage.
She wrote: "This is great footage!!
"Looks like it tried to manifest.
"One can see how the legs were actually walking!!!!"
Hypotheses
Objects and light sources out of focus
When the objects are out of focus, their silhouettes blurred and poorly recognizable. They can look like dark or colored translucent stain. This is often the cobwebs, spiders, insects in front of the camera.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)
- Site: Vandenberg AFB, California (USA) Vehicle: Delta-7320-10C Payload: Aquarius (SAC D, ESSP 6)
Investigation
Video length: 34 seconds. When journalists write that the video was made by CCTV system - "system of closed-circuit television perimeter". In fact, it is just a security video system which, apparently, is the castle Museum. However, the video is missing a characteristic for the security of the timestamp and camera number which is broadcast. At the same time she posted online a recording made on a mobile phone: this is typical camera shake and other sounds in the background. About the same, like, and writes the YouTube user with the nickname spyder1spanner2 who posted the original video online.
Find the original article Mirror is not difficult. Naturally. it is in English, but the text is virtually indistinguishable from bill. Unfortunately, the video posted on this site, not embedded on other sites, so here is it cause I is not possible, however, it can be viewed directly on the newspaper's website. And this video is different from what is presented in the Russian edition! Duration 39 seconds. In addition, it becomes clear that in the Russian edition of the video were cut: here we see the timestamps on the screen and the frame around the screen. It is obvious that video is a video in which a TV screen shot on a mobile phone. In addition, there is a link on the youtube channel of the author of the video.
Moreover, in the text there is mention that the original video has a duration of 1 minute 11 seconds. It turns out that half of the video journalists just threw? Go to youtube channel user spyder1spanner2, and easy to find there a source video.
Indeed, the duration of the video in 2 times more than that was hosted by our journalists. What happens in a remote part? Nothing special. The guard, who came to see a Ghost firsthand, walking the site and trying to see something. However, after 39 seconds, it becomes clear that the "Ghost" does not disappear - the "shadow" are all also present in the video moves across the screen. But it seems to be located in close proximity to guard its clearly not notice.
The answer to this riddle lies in the other videos posted by the same user earlier.
In this video there is also the shadow like a Ghost. However, the nature of the move it completely different, and it is possible with high probability to the conclusion that the source of the "shadows" in both cases is an insect or spider, flickering in front of the camera lens. Being out of focus, they turn into a vague blur.
Thus, we have the following sequence of events. In 2011 spyder1spanner2 posted 2 videos he made back in 2009, one of which allows an experienced person to guess the cause of the phenomenon. The author of the video writes about ghosts - perhaps just for fun, and probably really believes it. In September 2014 British journalists in search of sensationalism find that video cut out the extra and add colour to the story of the Ghost. About the second video they tactfully silent. A few days later this article reprints the Russian edition, again cutting videos and removing obstructing the journalists information.
What from this conclusions? Sad. Journalists, instead of to convey to his readers true information, in fact fabricate a story with a Ghost, twice intentionally distorting basic facts. No attempt to understand the causes of the phenomena in the articles is not in sight - no investigative journalism, just savoring the stories about the Ghost. This once again emphasizes that it is impossible to rely on materials of modern press, because it's all permanently yellowed. In the analysis of any event or data, it is imperative to get to the source.
As an afterword. The place where the events occur, is easily found in the search result on the Internet.
You may notice that "Ghost" was recorded in the area, surrounded by trees, in fact - in the Park area. In such places it is always a lot of insects and spiders, which indirectly confirms our theory.
