Ghostly pedestrian caught on cop's dash cam

[GeoffP]

Well, I don't believe anyone's trying to get MR banned - it's just that, yes, you were pushing the idea that it was a ghost, and not some oblique idea that it was only "ghostly" as if we were all investigating a new adjective. Nor, moreover, would I look with approval on anyone trying such a ban on you. Just cop to the fact. That's all.

It looks to me like the "dark blob" is present throughout the entire video in one form or another. It appears to me to be an area not covered by the car's searchlight.

Ok, let me describe it. It appears that the figure is disapearing behind some obstruction, right? If you look closer, it appears that the obstruction is moving in the figures direction at the moment the figure disappears behind it. It might be an illusion though.
Oh well, whatever it is MR has some convincing to do.

On closer inspection, it looks faked. Immediately after the 'ghost' disappears there is a dark block covering the area.

Thanks for your support. Ok..it's a ghost. If it walks like a duck..Also note that the police car drives up to where he saw the figure and there's no figure there. If it was a real person, where did they go?

No prollem, frind.!!!

:thumbsup:

 

[Enmos]

Ok..it's a ghost.

No, you claim that it's a ghost. Where is your evidence?

If it walks like a duck..

Just one problem: how would you know how a duck walks if you've never seen a duck?

Also note that the police car drives up to where he saw the figure and there's no figure there. If it was a real person, where did they go?

Those details could be signs of fakery...

I cannot answer that MR - I'm not sure what it would take to convince me they are legitimate spectres... I've had experiences with things that I've not been able to explain (from the well-documented "orbs" to what appeared in my peripheral vision as a spectral car driving alongside me), but I can't just jump to "paranormal" as my default answer.

Your encounter at camp was most impressive. It's personal experiences like that that convince me most of all. People reporting extraordinary paranormal events that effect them so deeply. Ofcourse sharing things like that risks getting you ridiculed and mocked as I am often here. That's why it takes courage to defy the crowd and stay true to what you know.

 

[Magical Realist]

No, you claim that it's a ghost. Where is your evidence?

Duh...see video.

Just one problem: how would you know how a duck walks if you've never seen a duck?

I've seen both ducks and ghosts on video and in photos. So yes, I know what a ghost looks like.

Those details could be signs of fakery...

So you're not sure it's fakery?

 

[Enmos]

Duh...see video.

The video is not evidence that it shows a ghost.

I've seen both ducks and ghosts on video and in photos. So yes, I know what a ghost looks like.

How do you know it were ghosts?

So you're not sure it's fakery?

No, I'm not. It could be just a person walking across the road, some sort of light play in the fog, or some other natural phenomenon.

I don't know what it is. Although, to me, it looks like a person walking across the road.
You, on the other hand, are claiming to know that what is in the video is a ghost.
Is there any (extraordinary) evidence forthcoming or what?


ghost
noun
1. the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined, usually as a vague, shadowy or evanescent form, as wandering among or haunting living persons.

The video is not evidence of a ghost.


How do you know it were ghosts?

How do I know it were ghosts? Because there's no other known entity that fits the description of a humanoid apparition that is transparent or disappears.

No, I'm not. It could be just a person walking across the road, some sort of light play in the fog, or some other natural phenomenon.

I don't know what it is.

That's becoming painfully obvious.

Although, to me, it looks like a person walking across the road.

That disappears. Ok...

A video of an apparition is about extraordinary as it gets.

A ghost can be any nebulous apparition but not necessarily the spirit of a dead person. Some ghosts are residuals, like tapes of the past played back repeatedly. Then there's poltergeists, which are psychic manifestations of living people. Then there are reports of ghost trains, ghost cars, ghost lights, ghost animals, etc. There are even ghosts of living people called dopplegangers. So ghost can mean lots of things, but usually it just means an apparition or specter.
