It looks cool. Would be funny to know what it is really.

Turn off the lights and stop any electronic or electrical communication for a couple of years and I think most of the old superstitions would come back strongly.

You could be right.  Coming to a town square near you - Witch Burnings!! - BYOM (bring your own marshmallows)

Is there anybody out there that doesn't think this

Maybe ghost are just people that slide out of their dimension into ours for a few seconds. Parallel worlds.

It is filmed from a screen. Probably a refection of someone walking outside a window the screen is facing.

Could be.  Maybe this clip will gain enough attention that someone that works on the show will check out the original footage.

Looks like a reflection of someone walking in the background.

Do you have Amazon prime? You could check yourself.

I might do it when I get home, but I've got other things to do tonight

 

Edit: oops quoted the wrong person. This was in response to the thoughts around a reflection off a screen.

I dig James.. miss the car show..lol.. ghost?. reflection maybe. over all I believe..Ive seen things that leave no doubt. could also be 2 realities over lapping.. doesn't have to be dead people.. 

[TheGoldenBoy]

It could be a reflection, or smoke. But frankly, the angle of the camera, the fact that the person is located on the left of the frame, while on the right there is nothing but an empty field really makes me think of a hoax. (Some will tell me that it's better from an artistic point of view, but hey, I still find it weird. A little buzz is always beneficial.)

 

I will look when I get home if we can already rule out the thesis of the reflection on the screen.

Looks like something (probably a drop of water, it looks to be raining) on the camera lens or the plate of glass they have in front of it to protect it. Can't tell from the video, but if the camera is panning ever so slightly, the smudge would look like it was moving.

I've seen a dozen of these "ghosts" (aka dead bugs smeared on windshield) shot through car windows. Camera moves, smudge "moves".

Confirmed in the source video. No panning, no smudges, etc.

Yep, boring but you nailed it.

Check out the World of MrGrey on Youtube.  He did a bit of a debunk on this.

Sorry to sound lazy but the guys a bit talky do you know at what time in that he is on this case?

Sounds like handwaving BS on your part. How exactly can somebody claim there wasn't a smudge or a droplet on the camera, especially since nobody noticed the "ghost" until later? How do they know the camera wasn't moving a bit? Who is making these claims and where? Unless it was the camera guy himself talking about the rock solid tripod he was using and his anti-rain shield that he wiped down every five seconds, nobody can make any such claim.

Just go watch it yourself. You'll be better informed instead of making up pure nonsense.

This "ghost" has appeared in two episodes, the one featured in this article which was episode 3, and also the one where James was visiting Pompeii which was episode 2 The figure looks identical in both episodes.. It'll be interesting to see if this apparition appears in other episodes.

I did watch it and saw no such thing. What exactly is the source you are referring to? Where does it state he wasn't holding the camera and was using a tripod? Where does it say it's impossible for a speck of something to be on the lens?

Like I stated before, unless it was the camera man himself talking about how he shot it and the equipment he used, it means absolutely nothing. Secondhand reports about a video clip are pointless. Nobody else is going to have a clue if there was something on the lens, even the camera guy may not.  Water droplets evaporate quickly. Handheld cameras waver. These are facts, not nonsense.

It takes next to nothing for such a "ghost" to get on camera. Stuff that is ignored and easily overlooked.

And I just saw a video with a third, filmed in a parking garage.
