Courthouse Employees Hunt Ghost<br> <i>New Security System Captures Haunting Images</i>

CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- The word "ghost" is hot on the lips of Kent County Court House employees.

A new $75,000 security system installed July 1 hasn't caught any criminals, but it did capture some haunting images of what appears to be a strange light "walking" in one stairwell.

"It didn't show up to the eye, but it showed up on tape," said security officer Phillip Price.

Security personnel first saw the light while looking at a surveillance tape recorded July 29, and it appeared live for more than an hour the next day.

After noticing the light, Price walked up the stairs and didn't see a thing. But downstairs, where by then a crowd of employees had gathered to watch, the video monitor revealed the strange light proceeding ahead of Price, stopping when he stopped and starting when he started.

At one point, those watching the video feed saw Price walk through the anomaly, they said. That was about the time that Price said he felt something.

The same thing happens to me when I carry a flashlight into a dark room.

Standard video captures infra-red in a spectrum range that is invisible to the human eye.

Try aiming the TV remote at a video camera. When you press a button the IR diode appears to light up in the video image.

piosa beag...

So what do you think we might have here? I tend to be skeptical .... but I do keep an open mind. It would make life very interesting to find out that this may well be true.
