There's some footage doing the rounds on YouTube that people are claiming shows a blue ghost haunting a petrol station.
Here's the video as featured on a news bulletin:
What do you reckon? I don't think it looks overly ghostly, but what could it be? It moves like an insect, but are there many blue insects? A fault in the camera's sensors could colour the insect blue, but the blueness seems to follow the insect around. It could be blue plastic, but the movement doesn't seem consistent with something that is being blown around.
Well, if it's too hard to work out in 5 mins, it's gotta be a ghost, right?
Not so fast. Here's a video that gives a brilliant explanation [via skepchick.org]:
I'm really impressed by this second video. It is very well thought out.

Way to ruin a great ghost story.
There is also a theory about why so many old stone houses have ghost sightings. They say its like taking a photo that takes years to capture. The stone absorbs some light and if a person walks back and forth over a long period of time, it may be enough to capture their image on a part of the stone. Then a light source pointed in the right place could possibly reflect the image off the stone for years to come. Nice theory.
I'll have a look for sure when I get my fast interweb connection back. I went over my limit this month :(
Well done, Holmes!
who'se the one doing the waking back in front of the wall? ghosts or the living?
either way, wouldn't it be like leaving the shutter of a camera open for years...you'd get a blur.
Thanks, that was interesting.
