This ghost video footage lacks action
and visual, as well. But that doesn't make it any less interesting.
"I'm so scared..."
- The Blair Witch Project (1999)
It was captured at the Literary and Philosophical
Society of
Newcastle, in Newcastle upon Tyne (aka: The Lit & Phil). At
least
one medium has claimed that The Lit & Phil houses 17 different
spirits, eight of whose names can be found in social records. We don't
know the story behind this structure, but if any of you do, feel free
to submit
it here. We'll post it on this page.
Back
to the ghost video footage: It appears that a video camera was set up
to record after everyone was gone for the day. This one is rather dark
and we are very aware that this could easily be a fake. What this video
captures is a lot of rapping, knocking and "movement" around the
periphery of the camera. We're especially not crazy about the segment
right after the entity supposedly taps the camcorder. We hear what
sounds like breath in the mic and ghosts don't have breath. On the
other hand, it appears that the owner of this ghost video footage is
sincere and we are giving them the benefit of the doubt that, the
"breath" you hear is actually something else.
Rappings and
knockings are classic ghost manifestations, after all. So this could
actually be ghost video footage. See what you think.
Some comments about this ghost video footage from
our visitors:
"It
seems like the camera moves a bit because somewhere in the middle of
the video, you can see somewhat of a line on the left side. Also, if
you listen carefully, after the tapping sound on the camera, it sounds
like a conversation. This is actually an interesting video, but most
likely to be unreal."

Folks, the owner of this video, Tony Liddell, has
come forward with
more explanation. Please visit their site
www.otherworldnortheast.org.uk and see more of their fine work. Here is
what Tony has to say:
"Hi guys,
"Thanks for posting up
the Lit and Phil video clip. I'm the founder of Otherworld North East
[owner of the video], the group who have investigated the building a
couple of times in the past - I also set up the cam for the footage.
"The
footage was actually taken during a literary event at the building. The
camera was set up in the basement level bookstore where most of the
'activity' is said to take place, the door was locked and the camcorder
left to run for 120 mins. I had the key to the room in my pocket, and
the door lies just out of sight to the right of the cam's viewpoint,
which means anyone entering would be seen. The event took place two
stories above the basement, meaning that no noise, and certainly no
noise loud enough to be feedback would have reached the basement
bookstore.
"The footage certainly doesn't show anything
visually, but the audio, especially the tap, sigh and in places
feedback due to close proximity of the sound to the camcorder is
definitely interesting!
"Whether or not this is the recording
of paranormal activity is of course another matter, but at this point
in time (a couple of years after the footage was taken) a rational
explanation has yet to present itself.
"Best regards,
"Tony Liddell B.Sc."

(I
liked your commentary on your site: the skeptical and questioning
approach is the stance we take on the team as a whole. When dealing
with a video clip such as this one where so many variables are unknown
to the viewer, your approach also makes them question, which is
something most sites don't do sadly.
Keep up the good work!--Tony)
And
Richelle, from St. Augustine, Florida (USA) has made this comment:
"It
seems to me there is slight movement here & there throughout
the
video. Either that or it's just editing. I've found that if you look in
the middle of the picture and focus, there seems to be something.
Again, could just be editing (or I see what I WANT to see :-)). "I
absolutely LOVE THIS SITE!!!!! I can't say thank you enough! I grew up
in a haunted house in South Georgia and I think that explains the
reason I am so addicted to seeing and hearing other experiences. I got
SO tired of those STUPID scare videos, I'd almost given up on finding
the real thing. Thanks again!"
We appreciate your inpute, Richelle. Keep visiting as we have many more
plans for this site in the future!
