The Paranormal Ratio

As some of you know I'm more of a video blogger, I started this blog mainly to post ghost videos that I've found in my online travels. The problem is compared to UFOs, Bigfoot and others of the like, ghost footage comes in last in terms of the amount out there.

The top draw are UFO videos, there's so much available online and not just on youtube. You could possibly spend a life time watching it all. There's usually a new hot UFO video appearing online every other day.

The second I'd say are Bigfoot videos, even though most are faked. It seems that at least once a month there's a hot new Bigfoot video to talk about.

Which leaves Ghost footage in third place. Well I'd say there's a lot more photographs than the first two, but footage is hard to come by. One week you could have multiple new videos appearing online and then have a few months of nothing.

Well, I don't know where I was going with this, but it should give you an idea of why I post a lot of UFO videos on this blog, if I didn't I wouldn't know when my next post would be.

This has been a rant by Rand.

Ghost of Adelaide Arcade caught on Video

The City Messenger reports on a new video which possibly shows the ghost of Francis Cluney also known as the Ghost of Adelaide Arcade.

To me it looks like reflecting light, but it does look a little strange around the edges.

Villisca Axe Murders EVPs

Sinderella one of the newest members on the forums, well there's only three at the moment, myself included, started a thread about the Villisca Axe Murders of 1912, where a family were brutally murdered in their beds, the perpetrators were never caught.

Never heard of this story before and find it very interesting, the uncanny similarity in appearance between the Villisca house and the Amityville house for me makes it even creepier.

There are tours of the house you can go on and paranormal researchers have even done investigations there, the videos below come from the paranormal investigators PRISM.

The first video is of probably the best EVPs I've ever heard, very clear and it's hard to believe they weren't just actual people in the room with them, well ghost people sure. I've never heard an EVP quite like these, the ones I hear are usually very ambiguous.

Thanks to Sinderella for introducing me to this fascinating story and videos, great stuff.

Best of Ghost Hunters

A compilation of some of the best Paranormal activity caught by Taps on the show Ghost Hunters.

I still haven't seen a full episode of Ghost Hunters, so I really appreciate this catch. The thing is we have a lot of other paranormal shows on TV down here, all the crappy ones mind you, I don't know why they don't have Ghost Hunters, it's one of the most popular ones.

The Hamilton Archives

To tell you the truth I have no idea what to make of the images in the video below, if I take them as I see them, they're some pretty phenomenal paranormal photographs, but I also have the feeling that I may be missing something, don't know a whole lot about the photos and the Hamiltons.

Luckily then there's a whole archive of images and info to explore here, some 700 odd photos.

Sheesh, more rainy day research for me.

T.G. Hamilton's Photos of Ectoplasm

Henry VIII's ghost caught on camera

Seems to me life the U.K got their own mysterious wave going on, texas has UFOs, Britain has ghost photos.

This latest photo taken by a woman staying at Samlesbury Hall, shows if you can see it a ghostly face, supposedly it looks like Henry the VIII. To me it looks similar to some of the Pareidolia images I posted awhile back on Strange Clips.

Long running ghost saga

Real ghost caught on film
It started off simply enough with a ghostly figure being captured on the fly, very brief, it seemed like a one off situation, usually never hearing about it again.


Real ghost video proof 2
But another video from the user surfaced, he'd been having problems with the pantry door being opened in the morning and decided to film it through the night, with results, the door opened and it is said that you can make out the same figure from the first video.


Real ghost video proof 3
Not satisfied he decided to film it again moths later, with results that will shock.


Ghost makes contact
With many people who see the footage screaming fake, he decides to invite an independent source to witness the phenomena. What is witnessed is beyond belief.


Or it's a long running hoax, the dudes story changes a little from video to video and the footage seems tampered with, though it's absolutely freaking cool.

Jim Morrison - Celebrity Ghosts

This is about one of my favorite ghosts photos which was taken near Jim Morrison's resting place and apparently shows what looks like Jim, the segment is a brief interview with the Brett Meisner, the guy who appears in the photo along with the ghostly figure.

I don't know what conclusions have been made about this photo, actually I don't want to know, I love The Doors and I love this mystery.

The ghost of Jim Morrison caught on film?


Another from the bookmarks of 2006

Is that a ghost in the window?

Looks like for my first blitz I'm going way back to 2006, looks like I'll going that far back for a little more, gotta clean my bookmarks out.

Looks like this video is from sort of paranormal investigation team or some hoaxers.

Their in front on some old building at night filming into windows, they keep saying they all see something but I can't make anything out, though at about the 1:11 mark there is a very noticible flash from the very top window, looks tricky to me though.

Paranormal Ghosts Caught On Camera

Another Service Station Ghost?

Have been seeing quite a few security cam ghost videos spring up lately, could it be due to the recent gas station ghost video?

Beats me but the video below is from a service station, not much happens a part from at the very end where you see something materialize in the window to the right, actually very creepy.

Don't know much more about the video, searches get clouded by the blue ghost one.

Real Ghost on CCTV in Service Station

Amityville House Phone Calls

I'm presuming that this video is from a couple who visited the infamous Amityville house, they claim that while they were there they received 3 strange messages to their cell phone, all without it ringing. The messages seem to be from a kid ranting off verbal abuse, they're definitely creepy.

Is it a ghost from the past, a hoax or just some kid playing with a phone? The voice in the messages wouldn't fit any of the profiles of Ronald DeFeo Jr's victims, the youngest of which was 9 years of age. After the murders the house was up for sale and the Lutz family bought it at a bargain price and moved in, one of the family was Missy who was 5 at the time, Missy was said to have an imaginary friend named Jodie, it was said to ask her if she wanted him to appear as a boy or a pig, so there's two that could fit the profile of the caller, though I think Missy is alive and well, that leaves the imaginary friend Jodie.

Missy's parents claimed that Jodie was a demonic pig, some say that it was nothing more than the neighbours fat cat, what's interesting is that Ronald DeFeo Jr who lived in the house before the Lutzs was said to call the cat "that pig", interesting degrees of separation right there.

Anyway, getting to deep into it now and I think I'm starting to make things up "conspiracy styles" so I'll leave it at that, interesting stuff for sure.

Here's the video of the strange messages.

The Big Paranormal Stories of 2007

With the end of the year fast approaching it's time to look back on what made the past year so special, for me a few things stick out, they may not the most paranormal stories of the year but they were huge items that took the paranormal and mainstream web by storm in 2007.

There are loads more big stories from 2007 but frankly I can't remember them all, feel free to add to the list with a comment.

The Italian Air Force UFO Video was one of the first big ones to hit early on in 07, it may even be from 2006? with its straight forward no nonsense realistic approach it quickly spread across the web as something spectacular. I don't know what conclusions were made but to me it's most probably computer generated, I certainly got a whole lot of traffic because of it.


The Drone photos left people thinking to good to be true, but over the weeks as more photos from seemingly different sources surfaced I think people started to wonder what if? Then came the Isaac documents which led to in depth analysis and discussions and then it all dried up. Well apart from the computer generated videos that seem almost as good as the photos.


ZEITGEIST the Movie has gone from strength to strength, with all the different versions floating about it's hard to gauge just how many people have seen it, maybe in the tens of millions. The movie dares to ask questions about religion, the terrible tragedy of 911 and how and who may be controlling our world. Presenting information in a way that lets you wonder about the truth yourself and to find your own good ideas.


The Haiti UFO Videos spread like butter on my morning toast, but was quick to be debunked by dedicated people who knew their shit, though through all the hype I don't feel that came across all to well. Something that didn't catch on like the main videos was the news that the creator had come forward. Seems like every fifth new UFO video on youtube is the haiti one.



The Jacob's Bigfoot photos I didn't follow all that much, but it was a huge story, my feed reader was full of headlines for this one and still is for that matter. It gained mainstream media attention, most of the time with a smirk. I still can't make out what it's doing or where the head is supposed to be, but I did see some overlays recently that made it make more sense.

The Gas Station Ghost is the baby of the lot, spreading and doing its thing. I find it unique, it's blue and does some strange things.


There are loads more but I probably don't remember them because I didn't follow them, Cryptomundo has a great list of The Top Ten Cryptozoology Stories for 2007.

If you have a list yourself, leave a comment with a link and I'll add it to this post.

Phantom Cat

Guess not, ran out of time, not video posting blitz. Anyway retty interesting videos below, both pretty much exactly the same, only different areas. Keep your eye on the cat that moseys on up.

Could be some neat editing or a mysterious phantom cat.

Ghost in the Attic

Finally got some time to have a look around, so hopefully I can blitz some paranormal videos out.

The clip below looks setup, looks expensive though. The video starts with an old lady who is acting as a medium by painting a picture of an entity that is tormenting the filmers little girl. The filmer hears his girls cries and investigates with scary results.

Looks to me heavily inspired by the movie The Grudge, could even be from a movie, who knows?

Ghostly Image Becomes All Too Real!

Haunted Mansion Attractions

I wish I had of known about The Haunted Mortuary sooner, it would have made a great Halloween post.

The Haunted Mortuary looks like loads of fun, I don't know much about it apart from it's located in New Orleans in an old real life mortuary, actors all dressed to the teeth in all kinds of scary costumes, bloody props, just your all round haunted house.

The place is actually supposed to really be haunted and they have proper ghost tours on offer as well. The video below looks like a behind the scenes promo vid, crossed with some Blair witch.

The Haunted Mortuary, New Orleans


I remember as a kid the ghost train rides and haunted houses at the local fairs, boy were they crappy, never lived up to what I was expecting and left me wanting my hard earned pocket money back.

Lucky though that New Zealand has something very similar to the haunted attraction above called Spookers, pretty much the same, actors in make-up, props, scaring the living daylights out of their customers. Though it looks like apart from the haunted mansion they also have a haunted forest and haunted maze, seasonal though. It's in Auckland, quite aways from me, but a quick phone call to my cuz and I got me a place to stay woot.

A little photo video of someones time at Spookers

Gas Station Ghost Ohio

This ones been doing the rounds, certainly more blue than most ghostly videos. Is it paranormal activity caught on tape? I've read discussions ranging from blue bugs to shopping bags, anything seems game.

Paranormal Whispers

Have you ever noticed how the information for some paranormal type videos circulating around the net degrades, it's like a game of Chinese whispers (P.C version someone?), the info is out there but as the videos fade away and reappear with renewed interest, info gets lost and usually new investigations and discussions ensue.

It would be nice if the originating info traveled with such videos, but that's just not the nature of the net.

Below are a few examples of videos that seem to have sustained interest, though info doesn't travel well with them.

Ghost girl in the corner - Classic and remains popular. I've been meaning to do a follow up post about this video because I know more about it now than when I first posted about it, info definitely doesn't travel well with this one.

Prison Ghost - Also pretty popular, the info should be easily passed on, featured on the show Ghost Hunters.

Gettysburg ghost video - This one travels a lot and always has great discussions, the info is actually very difficult to find though.

Fallen Angel - Very popular and has a possible explanation, haven't delved to much deeper though, discussions revolve around nearly anything under the sun and over it.

Alien Abduction Video - Pops up quite often, I think I need to update that post.

Area 51 Caller - I think the info about this one is pretty easy to find and I feel it's a classic that always deserves new discussion.

UFO falling in the Dessert - Spectacularly UFOish that if you don't already know where it comes from, searching specifically for NASA most likely wouldn't spring to mind.

The above videos are so widely popular that a lot has been written about them, a lot of it noise (like this post maybe).

Below are a few newer videos that I think will go in the same direction as the ones above.

Haiti UFOs - These buggers are still pretty popular and I feel they're staying put for awhile yet.

Unicorn Video - Probably always do the rounds.

Am I contributing to the noise? I certainly hope not lol. I guess it's easy to see how info gets lost when videos remain popular for so long, people write about them in so many different ways that info gets added, left out, changed, forgotten. It's good to see that there is interest though.

Haunted Hotels for Halloween

I thought I'd try something different out, putting a list together like the one below would probably take a few weeks of research, but luckily I can embed this one, below is from a site that has thousands of articles, videos that you can embed into your posts, they even pay ya to do so.

The list below is from TripAdvisor and lists the top ten Spookiest Hotels in America and I thought with Halloween coming up it would make a good post.

I'm liking number 4 on the list, wouldn't mind taking a cruise someday, especially that one.

Let me know what you think of the embed, It's pretty big I know, so I'm not sure if I'll do many of these.

EDIT: It doesn't seem to be loading for me, I leave it up for awhile anyway, see if things change.

Ghost Hunters Apparition Caught on Tape

I think this bit of ghost footage is from Ghost Hunters, we don't get that show down here, not on free to air T.V anyway.

The footage below reminds a lot of the prison ghost video, I think that was from the same show, could be wrong there.

The video shows a dark figure moving across the view over a table or something, pretty cool ghost video, can't really say much more, enjoy.

Can anyone shed anymore light on these ghostly photos

I was kindly sent the following photos from Sharon who has been having problems with here bedside lamp, as in it turns itself on at night, she thought it faulty so replaced it with another, same thing happened so yet again she got a replacement, three lamps and it still turns itself on, Sharon even employed the services of an electrician to check things out, but nothing seemed wrong.

So one night Sharon decided to take some photos, the light turned on, she sat up, turned it off and quickly took some snaps, she says that the room was pitch black while taking the photos, but the results certainly show something.

Sharon also mentioned that other strange things have happened at her home, such as items going missing, all of them hers.

Sharon used an Olympus Fe-210 digital camera to take the photos, the exif data indicates the exposure times were around the 4 second mark.

I checked over the photos but I'm not the best at analyzing this kind of thing, what I found interesting was that what ever it was, it's being either illuminated from beneath or casting light down, also in the first photo there seems to be two directions of movement which seems a little odd for it to be caused by motion blur.

I was wondering if anyone else could shed any more light about what may have caused these, so if anyone could provide an answer or more information for Sharon that would be awesome.

Sharon's Photos kindly used with her permission.
