Ghost in Cemetery or Pareidolia ?
Ghost in the cemetery? I don't see it.
From YouTube info:
I did not record this film personally.
This film was recorded in the mid-1950’s according to the label on the box but we have no way of confirming that for sure. The film has been in our family since then. The footage was taken in what is now an abandoned cemetery in southern Indiana. The figure appears to be a person kneeling under a tree. You have to watch closely to see it because the film quality dropped a lot during transfer to digital format.
I saw this posted on “Phantoms and Monsters” blog.
Maybe I need new glasses, but I don’t see anything remotely humanoid like in that video.
What the arrow points at just looks like a clearing in the far-off trees. Am I missing something?

javier, perhaps you are missing your “spirit-shaded glasses”. if you had them on, you’d see ghosts in everything! everywhere you look!
bellaboo,
I see. So where can I get a pair of these “spirit-shaded glasses” ?
From the makers of the “ghost camera” ?

Geez, whoever was trying to pawn this off needs to get a better converter. It’s so pixelated it’s impossible to discern anything where that arrow is pointing.
Seems to me the color tone of the film is too correct. Fifties techicolor and such always seemed too ‘colorful’. Take a look at old color world war 2 footage. It’s colorful! This footage seems too…bland.
I bet this is a hoax, someone recorded it recently, and washed it to skip frames with heavy pixelization to hide the hoax.
And added the sepia look to it…
It looks like it was shot on video and made to look old. Then again, if it’s a deliberate hoax it’s a terrible one- because once again I don’t really see anything all that interesting. However, the video on YouTube has over 400,000 views so I guess some folks are impressed.
LOL javier! i’ve never heard of those before – was that a gag or for real?
if real, i wonder how many people have purchased one of those since 2007 and then used the results to wow the paranormal masses online?
TFF!!
When I first looked at this footage, first thing that popped in my mind is that this film has been doctored to look old, I can use a program on my computer that can turn any footage into vintage 1950’s film, even to look like circa 1914.
First impressions are usually right, in this case; doctored…doctored…doctored.
bellaboo,
It’s sad, but they have those disposable “ghost cameras” all over Wallgreen’s and Rite-Aids here in Southern California. I couldn’t believe it at first, but then I saw them on sale one day….

South Dakota Guy,
The quality is bad, but somehow it does not have that authentic “vintage look”. I call hoax on this.

“ghost cameras”? You’ve got to be kidding?
By the way, the little video on top doesn’t run. Whooosh!
jbondo,
That was a screenshot, not an actual video.
