Ghost Video!
There’s not much information to go on, and the video was recorded with a crap security camera.  It’s on a newspaper’s website, I believe.  Here’s the accompanying story with the video:

By Jason Auslander
The New Mexican
‘Ghost’ keeps people guessing Apparition or reflection, that is the question.

A surveillance camera at the First Judicial District courthouse downtown captured a strange image Friday morning that left sheriff’s deputies, lawyers, clerks and judges scratching their heads as to what it might have been.

Some thought it was the ghost of a man killed at the courthouse more than 20 years ago after bringing a rifle to the building and taking several people hostage. Others felt it had to be a reflection from a passing car or a piece of cottonwood tree fluff. Still others threw their hands in the air, but somehow liked the image anyway or at least the hullabaloo it prompted.

“I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s neat that it showed up on a Friday,” said Sally Saunders, assistant to District Judge Stephen Pfeffer. “Now we have something to talk about.”

Deputy Alfred Arana first noticed the image when he arrived at the courthouse early Friday morning and began reviewing the surveillance video from the night before, said Sgt. Vanessa Pacheco of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department. Pacheco arrived half an hour later, and Arana said he’d seen something he couldn’t explain on the digital video and asked Pacheco to rewind it, she said.

When she watched the video, Pacheco was stunned. “It’s something unexplainable,” said Pacheco, who watched the 12-second clip over and over Friday. “I don’t believe in ghosts so I don’t think that’s what it is.”

It looks like a leaf caught in the sun, falling off a tree and blowing by.

My video showed up…but I couldn’t get it to play.  It was sort of frozen.  The timer ticked by…but the screen never changed (and the little tracker ball thing didn’t move).

And is there any cause why these two should not be married?

This is what happened to me.

It’s odd that I can actually view it then.  Usually I’m the one out of luck.

Then it is obviously your fault that none of the rest of us can see it.

Try this.

If it doesn’t work then it’s definitely your faults. raspberry

Oh, and it’s hard to read the clock, but it looks like it’s slowed down by about half.  Either that or it’s running really, really fast.  I think the last numbers are fractions of a second, though.

Huh.  Well that’s interesting.  It looks like the SHAPE of a person walking…but their color has been totally blitzed by something.  That…or it’s a bug of some sort on the lense & the light is reflecting off it causing that bright yellow.
