'Child ghost' caught 'playing by staircase' in haunted house in middle of night

A home security camera picked up what it is claimed to be the 'ghost' of a small boy.

Footage shows a living room with a cat sitting in the middle, but to the side, a misty outline enters in the bottom right hand corner, The Sun reports.

The 'apparition' seems to move backwards and forwards before disappearing out of sit as the cat sits impassively on the floor.

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

He wrote: "On August 8th, 2019 at 12:54am our security camera picked up a strange visitor walking through the kitchen.

"Some claim are saying it's a little boy, others are saying they see a boy, a girl and their dog. We don't know for sure, but let us know what you think."

The video has been viewed thousands of times and has gone viral on Reddit after it was shared on Wednesday.

One of those who saw it and commented asked Joey: "Anyone die recently in the family I wonder? Pretty cool but you don't see much. It looks like someone walking around."

Joey 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."

One person said: "yup, it's a spider", which another claimed it was "a bit of dust."
