About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.
The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Eerie Ghost Video
Here's what the setup to this little piece of video says: Supposedly this is a car commercial that never aired. I'm thinking that it is more probably a very good student project using Computer Graphics. About 2 seconds into the "commercial" notice something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist that looks humanish.
All I'm going to add is that this really, really got me.
Update: Here's another link to the movie, in case the one above is down.

Yes, that is a very moving add, I must say...
Posted by David in San Diego on Fri Oct 08, 2004 at 09:47 PMGot me too. Geez.
Posted by Laura on Fri Oct 08, 2004 at 09:56 PMI can see how it can be convincing! If you look closely enough there's a slight reflection...

Posted by Mike on Fri Oct 08, 2004 at 10:18 PMSo I called in my husband and showed him this. It got him too. He may never forgive me.

Posted by Kathy Johnston in CA USA on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 12:04 AMI didn't see any ghost. Where's the ghost?
Allright, allright...it got me too.
Posted by Paul on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 02:03 AMAllright, allright...it got me too.
That was on Tarrant on TV yesterday, I was scared for five seconds and then I burst into a fit of laughter.
Posted by David Elliott in Northern Ireland on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 03:54 AMThat scared the hell out of me.
Posted by Jellybelly in Dark side of the Moon on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 07:16 AMAs I need a plug in to see this, and I'm too lazy to download it, what happens in the video? It isn't that video where something jumps out at you when it ends, is it? They've been talking about that on Snopes for a while; the commercial where a zombie runs at the screen after a car goes down a road was for a German energy drink.
This is a different commercial, right?
Posted by Ozymandias on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 08:09 AMThis is a different commercial, right?
Scared the hell out of me *LOL* Oh man - my heart.
Posted by Z on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 09:37 AMReminds me of that scene from "Jaws" where the head suddenly appeared out of the hole in the bottom of the boat.
Posted by Captain Al on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 09:48 AMholy crap!!! good thing i clicked on the link before I read the comments, or else I wouldn't be enjoying the adrenaline I'm feeling now.
Posted by john in NH on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 10:51 AMThis movie is much more well done than another movie where they made you stare at a scene for a while and then flashed a screaming face a year or two ago. As a matter of fact, the other one is a wimp, a pushover, and a nerd and should be thrown in a trash can and rolled down a hill. Or maybe stuffed in his locker.
Posted by john in NH on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 10:59 AMMan.... I had turned the volume up loud too.
Posted by Bruce on Sat Oct 09, 2004 at 11:28 AMI'm scarred for life. Thanks so much.
