Scottish Hotel Staff Convinced CCTV Captured Ghost

stv - Staff at the New Lanark Mill Hotel are convinced the image of a ghost has been caught on CCTV.
A number of sightings have been reported over the years at the New Lanark World Heritage site in the Clyde Valley, but there has so far been no evidence to back up witnesses' claims.
But CCTV footage of the hotel’s rear car park captures an image that staff are convinced is in fact a ghost.
General Manager John Stirrat said: "We were routinely reviewing CCTV footage taken in the early hours of May 12 in our rear car park, an area that was formerly stables. Between 0130 and 0300 in the morning, we were startled to see, quite clearly, a mysterious ghostly shape in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen which came and went.
"At one point it disappears through a door, without opening it, and reappears. No staff, guests or members of the public were outside at the time, so it is definitely not human nor a trick of the light.”
The camera is looking downwards from the top right corner of the hotel and shows a small bright figure, about four feet high, possibly a child. Dressed in luminous white, it is seen bending and nodding before becoming motionless for a while. It then becomes more agitated and appears to change position by jumping onto a higher level. During the footage a number of bright surreal flashes can be seen.
Mr Stirrat added: "It is the strangest, eeriest thing I have ever seen,"
"It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
"We were very fortunate to capture it on screen and it has caused considerable debate here in the village. Originally I was sceptical about ghosts but now, after reviewing the footage again and again, I’m not so sure."
New Lanark is a restored cotton mill village on the River Clyde. It was founded in 1785 and is now a World Heritage site. Once Britain’s largest cotton manufacturing centre, the village rose to fame as a model community under social reformer and philanthropist Robert Owen.
The mill operated until the late 1960s and was restored in subsequent years and is now a major tourist attraction and is one of only five UNESCO World Heritage sites in Scotland. As well as a visitor centre and hotel, the village is home to around 200 people.
NOTE: well, I just don't see a ghost. Maybe some moisture on the lens being moved by the wind...but not a spiritual apparition. Take a look and tell me what you think...Lon

Hmmm....well I looked all over that footage and all I see is what looks like the wind and a lens flare in the corner that moves due to the camera being shaken. that is what it looks like to me. Going to watch it again, though. :)
I agree Lon, I’ve seen similar CCTV images and they have been debunked pretty well as being insects or moisture very close to the lens and becoming distorted and out of focus. I’d be better convinced they captured something unusual if it was an apparition in the background floating around the cars or something.
Agreed. When the 'apparition' walks through the door to the right, I saw it more as an insect crawling around the side of the camera. It never actually went through the door, just moved out of the visual frame. I don't believe this to be paranormal.
Agreed as well. This is no apparition or anything out of the ordinary. But it might enhance tourist attraction to their area :)
I'm pretty sure it's moisture on the lens. It's clearly raining. If you watch the movement of the "ghost" it moves when there is a wind gust. There's also a drop of water in the upper right hand corner of the camera. This is a good comparison because it looks EXACTLY like the ghostly image only it appears to be blocked from the wind.
hmm,.,cool ghost..
