Actual Ghost Video Clips

Watch actual ghost video clips online or on various television shows, such as Paranormal_State or Ghost Hunters, and make up your own mind whether or not they are proof of paranormal activity. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the videos captured by modern-day ghost hunters certainly provide much food for thought.

Actual ghost video clips are difficult to come by because so many of the clips presented to the public can be debunked. Some have natural explanations for the activity captured while others are outright fakes. Real or not, these videos vary greatly in clarity and type. Most researchers capture images on standard home video equipment. Advanced paranormal investigation groups usually include thermal imaging devices that detect heat signatures using a video-camera like device.

Video footage of paranormal activity ranges from apparitions to objects moved by unseen forces. Ghost videos typically fall into three categories, with a wide range of images within each category.

• Full body apparitions: The rarest of all images caught on video, videos of full body apparitions show a form that’s unmistakably human. Evidence like this is often called "the holy grail" of paranormal investigating, since it’s the most difficult to obtain.
• Mists or shadows: Some paranormal investigators capture mists or shadows that cannot be ascribed to natural causes. These images range from dark shadows that appear and vanish to mist-like images. Many show humanoid characteristics such as a head, shoulder, legs or arms, but not all reveal complete human figures. Some move, others hover over an area. Even after careful debunking attempts, the figure cannot be explained by natural causes.
• Moving objects: Many videos capture objects moving on their own. Chairs sliding across the floor, candlesticks and lamps gliding over a tabletop or doors opening and closing without anyone in the video may reveal paranormal activity.

Movies and television programs depict apparitions that look and act much as we do in real life. They also portray some apparitions as monsters or the classic white misty figures. Set aside these preconceived notions, and watch some video footage that falls into each of the three categories above to see what some paranormal investigators and lay people have captured on video.

Ghost Hunters provides the most compelling video footage of apparitions. Perhaps the best image ever captured on video is that of the mason or soldier filmed in the Crescent Hotel in Arkansas. Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of The_Atlantic_Paranormal_Society captured this image using thermal video technology in the cellar that used to be a morgue when the hotel was used as a cancer hospital and treatment center. Although the team attempted numerous ways to debunk their own footage, they concluded that they actually captured paranormal activity on the thermal image. The video was posted at YouTube.com but has since been removed due to copyright infringement. You'll have to visit the Ghost Hunters' website to view this tape and other clips from the show.

Other ghosts appear on video as shadows and mists. These images seem to appear out of nowhere. They may form from floors, walls or the ceiling and appear amorphous or human shaped.

The third classic example depicts objects moving by themselves in a haunted location. The general theory is that a ghostly hand moved the object. Whether a chair slides across the floor or a pencil rolls across a desk, the footage can be startling.

GhostsandStories.com includes an example of a child’s swing moving by itself. Wind may cause the swing to move by itself, but why doesn't the swing next to it move as well? Other videos on the site, including one showing objects moving across a kitchen table, are fascinating. Examine them for yourself and come away with your own conclusion!

If you believe you’ve captured a ghost on video or thermal imaging equipment, try to debunk your own evidence first before publishing it as an actual ghost video. Debunking your own work and demonstrating proof of debunking lends credibility to your investigative efforts and evidence.

The mind has a tendency to ascribe meaning to random images. This process, called pareidola by psychologists, often explains how many people see ghosts in pictures or video tapes. Screen your videos and photographs yourself before sharing them as paranormal evidence to rule out pareidola.

Look for any natural or manmade object that may cause the image captured on video. For example, manyorbs turn out to be particles of dust, pollen or moisture in the air. Check for light bouncing off windows, cars or other objects. If you can recreate the apparition under similar conditions, you can rule out paranormal activity.

If you think you’ve captured a ghost video, post it to one of the many sites that accept video submissions, such as Ghost Videos. Not everyone will believe that you’ve captured a ghost, but many people will want to see for themselves what your images look like!

Are there actual ghost video clips? It's a definite possibility, and many reputable paranormal groups, both national and local, have compelling evidence for the public to review. Capturing elusive images of otherworldly beings and paranormal activity remains a quest of researchers. This is perhaps the only way to convince hardened skeptics that ghosts really exist.
