Black Monk Posted October 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Creepy CCTV appears to show a 'ghost' moving around a wet floor sign and a mop in a pub. Katie Ann Round, co-manager of the Chapel House pub in Gornal, West Midlands, is seen tidying up - but as soon as she's out of the room, the safety sign she laid out starts to move. Just seconds later, the A-board neatly folds itself up and falls on the floor before Ben Parkes, Miss Round's partner, runs out of the room in horror after a mop also fell over. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3864226/Is-world-tidiest-ghost-Creepy-CCTV-shows-wet-floor-sign-mop-mysteriously-moving-pub-soon-manager-s-turned.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire. Posted October 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2016 My take on the video: CCTV security cameras do not behave like that. I suspect someone was standing there with a handheld whilst the others staged the rest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted October 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Oh gosh - that footage was pretty lame. I'd say there were three people involved (camera man included) and a long piece of string to boot. It must have been a quite night in the pub for some very bored staff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Monk Posted October 23, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Quote Not according to their statements in the article. The CCTV footage is being shown on a TV screen and the footage you see in that video is of somebody filming that CCTV footage on the screen before putting onto YouTube. It's a common thing to do.

Noxasa Posted October 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Lame social media play to manipulate people for profit. I'd go out of my way to avoid scammers like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switchopens Posted October 24, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The big mystery here is why this day and age, CCTV is still so terrible? Cell phone cameras are better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really get how in every single thread where something was caught on CCTV half the people responding can't tell that it was uploaded to the interwebs by being filmed with a mobile phone or similiar- its bleedin obvious that thats what someone has done but theres always somone who still cant quite work it out...

paperdyer Posted October 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Since the people own the pub they should have access to the CCTV footage, they wouldn't have to film it with a camera. They could download the footage to a disk or flash drive then upload to Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorg Posted October 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Seems faked.. First off, the slippery when wet sign is not even spread fully. This allowed the sign to spread and turn in the direction the string puller is, something they did not intend on. There might have been a string attached in both directions allowing the sign to be pulled over. She comes out to investigate a noise( I suppose) . She looks down the straight hall, then disappears for 13 seconds. 7 before the sign falls, 6 after. Everything happens when no one is in the camera's view. Then comes Mr. stare-at-the-mop, even though she told him the sign fell over. He stares at it to insure us, it is properly put in a corner and cannot possibly fall over. His cue is when he looks down the straight hallway, the mop falls over and like a frightened child goes running off into the night like a scared little baby. The string could have been attached to the mop before she puts it away, and as the mop is pulled in the string pullers direction, changes course due to weight or positioning, then changes course in the string pullers direction. Hardly paranormal, but staged by actions and events. Edited October 24, 2016 by South Alabam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFOwatcher Posted October 25, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I guess my problem is it always seems to be a bar or hotel. Always a place that would like attention and more guests. I say hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, it could be that in this day and age, some people don't know how to attach a cable from their recording device to a computer USB port.....

kalon1701 Posted October 26, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) If posting the youtube link is a no no, then I apologise. the original video was made 6 years ago. yes it's a rubbish vid and a 6 year old could do better, but it's my rubbish vid and I was asked to post one. PS, I am not responsible for any suggested videos that appear at the end of my stupidity. Edited October 26, 2016 by kalon1701 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimsituation6 Posted October 28, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Its actually funny, one time a lady ran out of the bar because she was convinced there was an animal in the plant, we had to show her the fishing line before she would believe us lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
