A Minnesota couple claims their home security system captured an apparition that they suspect could be the spirit of a woman who once lived in the home.
Joey and Amy Radke installed the camera in their house to keep an eye on their cats. What should have been a fun glimpse of the frisky felines quickly took an unsettling turn when the system filmed what appears to be a ghost lingering in the hallway.
"The video is like something from Paranormal Activity," Joey said, "when I saw it, I just thought, 'oh my God.' I was creeped out."
In the video, which overlooks an empty living room, a door can be heard closing, and then an eerie form suddenly appears in the hallway.
At first, the anomaly is difficult to detect but comes into sharper focus toward the end of the video, appearing to hover slightly above the ground before disappearing.
One of the couple's cats appears to see the 'visitor' and quickly runs under a table as if to hide, suggesting the anomaly wasn't simply a video distortion produced by the camera.
After watching the footage, Joey recalled that the couple "gasped" when they saw that the oddity appeared to be "a woman with bouffant hair, like a beehive."
According to reports, the previous homeowner passed away in what is now their bedroom.
"The neighbors say she was taken out by paramedics in her nightgown," he recalled, "and in the video, you can see the figure is wearing a nightie."
