What is this? Did I record a ghost?

[tofsound]

This is a real video of a paranormal entity caught on camera.

I do not know what it is exactly, but I am open to different thoughts on the matter....

All i know is that this video is clear evidence. Having experienced it myself, my life will never be the same....

***************************************

Back Story:

Well our dog Dodger, had been looking around the room at nothing for days. He kept staring at invisible things in the air. He would stare at the ceiling, move his head around as if to be following something. My first guess was that is was a fly, a bug or even perhaps a fluff in the air… but I never saw anything

Was he losing his eye sight? Was he seeing something I was not able to see? He clearly was either seeing something or having hallucinations..

We spoke to our vet about the situation and he was unsure of what to make of it.It’s not like we could make the dog do it on command in the vet office, it was really something you had to witness... In order to give him a better idea of what the dog was doing, we decided to record the dog when he started doing the “look around” thing.

Dodger was definitely seeing something the naked human eye was unable to capture. While recording his reaction in order to show the vet his odd behaviour, we caught an unidentified flying object, rod, ghost or even perhaps a spirit on camera.Whatever it is, it’s remarkable….

Have a look at the footage and tell me something isn’t moving across the camera in plain sight.What is it?

My best guess is that it is the spirit of “Snowy”

Snowy was a cute little bird who lived an extraordinarily long time considering it’s life expectancy.

My wife owner a bird as a child and it survived through so many winters, it could have held a world record.

The object moving across the screen appears to be flapping it’s wings and flying if you will. When you slow it down you can really see what I’m talking about. My theory is that “snowy" is flying around the house. Snowy’s spirit and energy has been absorbed into the house and is now a harmless part of history concerning this specific plot of land…

could be someone messing around with a laser pen or something.

Defintily looks like a laser pen light... it is obviously on the surface of the objects it passes over and "bends" at the corners and over the cord hanging down...

If it's not a light from a "pen" then it is possible that it is reflected light from a passing car shining through a crack in some window blinds or something similar...

Interesting, have you ever tried looking at it out of the corner of your eye? That is the only way I could see my cats ghost. When I looked directly at her I couldn't see her.

Seems like to me if it were a laser it would be brighter.

Looks like a bug to me. Kinda absurd to think it's a bird since it's clearly too tiny to be a bird. If that's what your dog is meant to be looking at, why isn't he watching it and his head moving as if to look at something flying over him? It's more reasonable to assume that he's watching bugs flying around, but simply doesn't have a desire to catch them. I've had dogs all my life and none of them have ever had any interest in bugs, yet the two I own now (always the same breed) LOVE bugs and go after them all the time. I'm waiting for one of them to be the idiot that eats a bee. They don't just chase the bugs, they eat them as well. No idea why. It could be that Dodger is simply watching the bugs. After all, there's not much else to do in a basement.

There's also the possibility of idiopathic head tremors, but I don't think that's quite it. Dogs can suffer the same sort of nerve and muscular issues we do. I'd get a second opinion before I jump on the paranormal bandwagon.

[tofsound]

Child of Bast: snowy was the bird in question. a little white bird no bigger than a chikidee. very small and about that exact size. He lived in a cage no bigger than two hamster cages and was very happy. He also lived 20 years past his expected age, morfed into a male - from female. (He layed an egg in his early years - then became a dude...) so his story is exceptional already. I wouldn't doubt that his die hard energy is in the house as he flies around and enjoys the freedom..... maybe ... hehehe......

Dodger does suffer from seizures every couple months so we definetly brought him into the vet. He has epilepsy, so trust me when i say he gets the tests often - as well as second opinions. Concerning this time frame and events, after thousands of dollars and top notch testing, there is nothing that would cause him to move his head around or what have you. The vet actually said: " Dogs can see things humans cannot"

that doesnt mean it's a ghost, but it doesn't mean it isn't.....

I know ghosts / spirits have been reported to create frequencies we can't hear, but maybe the dog hears it and looks around as it flies over his head. Have you ever looked a fly in the eye as it flew by your head? No right... but you move your heard in it's direction....

Bug theory not a bunk - I'm just not convinced it's a bug is all.... I can't say for sure.... but I appreciate the comments. That I know for sure

Taun and Alibongo: it's not a lazer pen, I was in the room - I recorded it myself. Me and my wife, no lazer pen...

Nothing with naked eye, only on the video. I have a few more videos actually...

One looks like the same object perched on the shower curtain rod, and flied directly towards me... im digging up that video as we speak.

What took me so long is the real mystery lol

That being said, you will have to take my word for it. I promise I wasn't using a pen or a flashlight, and there are no windows nearby to cause any light reflections....

One witness is my wife, the other is my dog.... so I'm going to have my share of skeptics I'm sure of it...

I would never allow that to stop me from sharing something I truely felt was this significant...

Dust? Perhaps... Bug? perhaps..... Ghost? Rod? Spirit? perhaps........ and that's why we do this

because of the perhaps involved! hehehehe

thx for all the comments so far. I really appreciate it

"Rods" are insects, for the record. To my knowledge, there is almost complete agreement in skeptics and believers across the spectrum. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I feel justified in saying that the MAJORITY of people that know the subject, agree that rods are insects mutated by camera peculiarities.

I agree either the anomaly is an insect or a laser dot, and given the opsitioning and perspective of the camera, there is no indication that anything flying past would encounter a wall immediately - it appears any insect or solid object would have at least a foot if not much more, to near the actual wall, given the object's apparent relative position, before it would have to adjust flight to avoid a collision.

That's a nice, slick presentation on your 3 minute video also, for your channel.

[XenoFish]

Looks like a laser pointer to me. Especially the way it reflect off the white dress. If you look at it around the 1:20 mark you can see the light spreading out/reflecting of it. Like a laser pointer would.

[tofsound]

Paranormalcy: - I agree 100% about the "Rod" / I'm with those who beleive most "rod" footage is of an insect. As for the "wall theory" it's mainly for a bigger object if you will. I also agree that a bug would be able to avoid the wall. (The bed is against the wall, to give more perspective. I was sitting at the top of the bed... giving room for dodger to rest... lol... those little guys sure know how to take up space huh heheheh) anyway, so.... yeah..... thank you for your input. Greatly respected and appreciated.

XenoFish: For what it's worth, I promise it isn't a lazer pointer. I don't know what it is. Im not saying it isn't light or reflection from my iPhone cam perhaps... but I can say with 100% conviction on the entire love for the topic, from chatter to chatter sharing common insterest in truth, IT'S NOT A POINTER. I don't know what it is.... I appreciate you took the time to watch and discuss! Much appreciated my friend

Im open to all thoughts. If I can clarify anything please never hesitate to ask. I wasn't outside, so not many "bugs" flying around the basement of this finished house.... No windows open and no flies or bugs that I could see or have ever seen. That doesn't mean it wasn't - or maybe it was a very small buggito of sorts that can barely be seen with naked eye..... Either way, as mentioned, it does make for fun footage does it not?

Im not convinced it isn't something paranormal, but I'm not convinced it is.....

I don't know what it is......tbh

keep comments and questions coming

Thx for all the input everyone

I was going to give my typical bug/dust reply.

But seeing how you are replying to the skeptics, I doth my cap to you sir.

Your actually reading reason and taking it onboard rather than throwing your toys out of the pram as so many people do.

[Paranormalcy]

Has anything happened recently that you would/could tie back to something "unusual" like this occurring? Why would you get a weird thing to show up on camera, essentially out of the blue? Do you have any personal hypotheses or observations of your own that people could discuss?

I do, my theory is that it is the spirit and or energy of "snowy" the firendly little white bird that lived for many years in that house. He had recently passed away days before the filming. (One of the reasons we came home to my inlaws was to "dispose of snowy" if you will)

So my wife and I strongly think it's snowy's energy... but we can't say for sure.

I was living in a century old brown stone (built in 1901) Astoria Queens, new york city. I had many encounters with paranormal activities in that appartment let me tell you. The appartment was my grandfathers, he purchased the property 60 years ago. He was not a very nice man unfourtunately. His passing finally alllowed me to explore the upper floors of the house we owned for so long but shared between my grandma and grandpa (ugly seperation issue.. blah bla more on that if you care lol)

so yeah, I experienced some really cool things and captured a lot in new york, but the ghost footage i posted is in the epidemy of suburbian hell, mississauga ontario - outside of toronto canada. I was very surprised to see anything there because I always associate spirits with old houses....

i don't know why... perhaps hollywood hehehehe

I now live in a condo recentlt built in the past decades so not much history around here per say. I will keep an eye on Dodger, but he hasn't looked around like that since.... which also leads me to believe it wasn't a bug because he has been around bugs many times since and never acted in such a way.... i dunno...

(sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes - english is in fact my second language and I typed this super fast) maybe i will edit after hehehe

Are there any windows on the opposing wall from where you were filming? If so it could be from a car passing by. If not then I'm all out of ideas for now.

[tofsound]

Are there any windows on the opposing wall from where you were filming? If so it could be from a car passing by. If not then I'm all out of ideas for now.

Yes! I do not want to neglect any small details. So in fact, there is a small 1x2ft window at the top of the wall my back is resting against. That being said, it's a suncken window, so it leads to the backyard. Sunken i mean that it is 3-4 feet below ground level leading to a "well type" structure to allow air flow from outside but no direct view of the backyard ground. so to better explain, you have the house along the ground and then a sunken rectangle ditch where the basement window is on the outside.

Hard to explain, but the important thing to note is that it leads to the backyard. Not only are there no lights or cars to cause this reflection, but the window is sunken below ground level so no light would ever shine in through the window anyway.... plus the angle and height of the window itself would not corespond with reflections....

good question

trust me, I ran out of ideas pretty fast that night. I watch enough silly shows to learn how to debunk using every possible way... i'm running very low on possibilities so I'm sharing my experience with fresh minds.... and likeminded peers

im at the point where it is either a well timed dust particle catching some sort of light reflection and perfectly coinciding with filming and all that jazzz. yes. That's my alternative... else I'm just going to have to accept it is a spirit and try to learn from this...

EDIT : Update: (Side note - I just read some other posts on this forum - wow great stuff around here)

* I specifically focused on dust and dust orbs.

I'm really starting to doubt it was a dust or a dust orb - as it's not an orb at all.... the dust I see on other videos move slower and are more round if you will.. this shape on my video is not a dust orb.... my object seems to move perfectly horizontal without altering or floating around... It's like an arrow accross the screen... not falling dust or floating particles... it's much more precise it seems.... in my opinion.

QUICK RECAP TO SAVE YOU SOME QUESTIONS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top questions asked:

Q. Is there a window? Could it be a car?

A. Yes there is a very small window, a basement window. Unfortunately it would not allow for any lights to come in. Also it faces the backyard.

Q. Is it a lazer pen or superficial light?

A. No it is not a lazer pen. I promise you. I filmed it, I was there… no laser pen. I promise on my love for paranormal truth. Not superficial

Q. Is it dust or a bug perhaps?

A. Most likely not. We cannot say for sure because we do not know. That being said, dust appears to act much differently and possess many different characteristics that do not match up with the footage accurately when compared to dust videos. The same goes for the bug theory.

It does resemble a bug on film more than dust, but the dog has been around many bugs and never looked around like this. He was looking around so much it caught my attention. Trust me, it was odd behaviour.. not bug following… all i can describe it as is “ghost following”

Q. Has Dodger done it before or since?

A. Yes, Dodger looked around like that a few times when I lived in a 1901 Brownstone in New York City. I knew there was some paranormal stuff in that house. Perhaps I will open a discussion on that actually.... come to think of it. Anyway, yes he has looked around a few times before and it was associated with weird things happening in the new york house. This is why I thought something was up in the first place. It reminded me of his "ghost following" in new york. Dodger has been around many bugs and never cared to look or follow them around. This is another reason I do not think it is a bug. So technically Dodger has only ever looked around like that during times of potential paranormal activity...

Q. Where did this video take place?

A. The geographicl location is the epidemy of suburban hell! Suburbs outside of Toronto Canada. Not your typical ghost spotting area. We were in the basement of a finished house on a quiet family residential street. Nothing spooky at all about the location sadly... lol

Q. Has Dodger been to the vet?

A. Yes Dodger has had many tests done. He regularly goes for check up because he has epilepsy. The vet explained thoroughly that Dodger looking around like that has absoluetley nothing to do with his health or mind state. He explained that dogs can often see things humans cannot. What you make of that statement is up to you

Q. What do you think it is tofsound?

A. I think it is either a perfectly timed anomaly regarding dust despite the strong indications it is not…. Either it’s that, or it’s a paranormal entity. I think it might be “snowy” a little white bird that had just recently died days before the filming. I’m thinking it is Snowy’s energy in the house. Snowy’s non physical energy enjoying our physical plane…..

--------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE BRING ON THE QUESTIONS! I PROMISE TO ANSWER THEM AS BEST I CAN.

LET’S DISCUSS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THIS!

Thanks again - keep comments coming!
