A HOME security camera has picked up what one some have claimed is the ghost of a small boy and his pet.

Footage shows a living room with a cat sitting in the middle but at the side a misty outline enters in the bottom right hand corner.

The “figure” appears to move backwards and forwards before disappearing out of sight as the cat nonchalantly sits on the floor.

The clip was uploaded to YouTube by Joel Nolan, who said it was taken earlier this month.

“On August 8th, 2019 at 12:54am our security camera picked up a strange visitor walking through the kitchen,” he said.

“Some claim it’s a little boy and their pet. We don’t know for sure, but let us know what you think.”

The video has been seen thousands of time on YouTube video and it has since gone viral on Reddit after being shared yesterday.

One of those who saw the video on YouTube asked Joey: “Anyone die recently in the family I wonder? Pretty cool but you dont see much. It looks like someone walking around.”

He replied: “No recent deaths, fortunately. We’ve been digging into the house’s history to see if there’s any significance with the date of the occurrence. Not much activity before or after.”

But others appear have found more straightforward explanations for what the “ghost” was.

One person said “yup, it’s a spider” while another said “it was a “bit of dust”.

Earlier this year a grief stricken mum claimed her security camera captured the ghost of her dead son in her kitchen, after a seemingly transparent figure triggered its sensor. Tell me your thoughts below…
