Ok, I don’t want people to think that GhostTheory is a ghost video disproving site. We do it from time to time, but we mostly focus on investigative reporting on cases, as well as abstract psychological theories that could explain the paranormal. But lately there has been a rash of videos making news about ghosts being captured by cellphones and such. I don’t know what you guys think of this, but cellphone evidence is entertaining. Comical at best.

This morning I saw a post made on “The Sun” online newspaper about a school boy who had captured a ghost with his cellphone camera. Being curious about the clip, I found it on Youtube and right away noticed how fake this was. On the website, people seems convinced that this real footage of a ghost. People in forums were discussing how scary or “freaky” the clip is. I couldn’t help but notice immediately how this was done.

Notice on the :02 second mark how there is a glare from the hallway light on what appears to be a clear plastic sheet.

When you run the clip for the first :06 or so seconds, you can see the kid was moving the cellphone around and around the 2 second mark there is an unexplained glare. To me, it seems like this was the glare from a plastic sheet that was used to put infront of the cellphone camera lens.

Next we have a still from around the :08 second mark. Notice the 2 blotches in the picture.

When you play the clip, you can see that these 2 blotches move in unison to each other. Pointing to the fact that the white blotch is some abrasion in the plastic, and the darker blotch the so called “ghost” that could have been colored on the sheet.

Notice how they move across.

A SCHOOLBOY has captured eerie footage of what he claims is a ghost striding towards banisters at his home.

Terrified Reece Pitman, 12, heard whistling — and used his mobile to film the shadowy being.

It came days after his nine-year-old sister complained that someone was mysteriously finishing her jigsaws at night.

The lad showed the amazing footage — which must be seen to be believed — to mum Tonia, 38.

She said: “Reece looked scared witless.

“In the clip a white shadow appears from my bedroom followed by the dark image of a man.

“It crosses the landing and disappears when it reaches the banisters.”

Tonia, of Solihull, Birmingham, said she consulted a psychic who told her the ghost could be friendly.

Sales assistant Tonia said: “I’ve had a tough time recently as my husband left me. I didn’t believe in ghosts — but I’m thinking of the spectre as my guardian angel.”

Julian Banks of the British Paranormal Society said the film was “potentially the best image of a ghost in years”.
