A man in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, was startled when his Ring video doorbell captured what he believes to be a ghostly figure passing by his residence. Shane Irwin, 42, received a notification from his smart doorbell signaling someone at his front door. Upon reviewing the footage, he observed a mysterious white shadow moving along the sidewalk and vanishing into thin air.
Living across from a cemetery, Shane, a horror enthusiast, found the incident particularly eerie. Convinced that the apparition he witnessed was a ghost, he expressed fascination with the paranormal. The clear daytime sighting stood out to Shane, who typically associated such occurrences with nighttime and faint visuals. After showing the footage to friends who also believed in ghosts, they concurred that something unusual had been captured.
In a similar vein, a reputed ghost sighting at Oxford Castle involved a cloaked figure in a doorway, tied to the historical escape of Empress Matilda. Numerous accounts of Matilda’s presence at the site have surfaced over time, with sightings and tales of her spirit lingering within the castle’s walls.
During a visit to the castle, Australian tourist Lewy Jones inadvertently snapped a photo resembling the depiction of Matilda’s escape. The image showed a cloaked figure similar to historical descriptions of the event. Lewy discovered the photo after returning home, noting the uncanny resemblance to Matilda’s escape narrative.
Despite the skepticism surrounding ghostly sightings, these incidents continue to intrigue and captivate believers and skeptics alike.
