Ghost finally caught on camera

Producers of British ghost-hunter show Most Haunted have spent 17 years trying in vain to capture footage of a proper, real spectre.

And now, it seems, they've succeeded.

Members of the TV crew were reduced to fearful tears after they sighted – and managed to get on camera – a transparent, ghostly figure ascending some stairs at an abandoned 17th century mansion in Yorkshire.

The spine-tingling clip shows what appears to be a paranormal figure walking slowly down a dark corridor at Wentworth House, in South Yorkshire.

The TV show was at the 17th-century mansion investigating reports of a ghostly presence inside the stable block following dozens of unexplained sightings.

Investigators Karl Beattie and Stuart Torevell managed to record the figure before chasing it down the hallway as it disappeared from view.

Host Yvette Fielding was left sobbing after watching the clip and said the video was the show’s most “ground-breaking” footage to date.

“In the 17 years we’ve been doing Most Haunted we’ve always wanted to capture a ghost on camera,” she told the Daily Mail.

“We’ve caught so many different kinds of phenomena: objects moving on their own, voices. But this is the first time that we’ve caught a man walking – in what appears to be slow motion up some stairs.”

“It was only when we edited it that I saw it and I burst into tears. I was so gobsmacked – I was properly sobbing.”
