I believe in the heels, quite OK for 1800s.
I'm glad that the ghost detector light was on.
I do not see the "ghost" disappearing through any wall. :dunno:
Why filmed in B&W?
Why do ghosts wear clothes, are the clothes also surviving spiritually?
I thought it was supposed to be bad luck to have women on board?
Why should it be the Admiral's wife; did anyone see some face detail that I missed?
Does it qualify as a ghost when we can't see through it?
They'll have to do better than that to convince me. :|

Here's the ghost of RAF Manby, caught on camera and also reported by the Daily Mail.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... pilot.html

Quote: They had been recording all evening but it was only later that night when Mr Wesson reviewed the footage did he spot the shadowy figure wandering in the background..

And yet, the person holding the camera, instead of following the people into the room to the left, goes up to the end of the corridor and looks right, as if in pursuit. So the camera person saw something, but Mr Wesson says they only noticed it when they looked at the video later on. *-)

If you make an extra-ordinary claim, you need extra-ordinary proof.

I don't see anything in these video's that anybody reading this could easily reproduce using our smart phones in an afternoon.

I call shenanigans.

True. Regarding the Nelson's Wife video, one could say that the videographer was just fannying about. :hide:
