“Figure” Caught on CCTV
reddit user NoWartHog5272
Alright folks, here we are again. Take a look at this post:
Caught a figure sitting in my neighbour’s car on CCTV (head turning, skinny woman shape) — anyone seen something like this before?
Just a few things to get started. The OP stated CCTV.
❌Home CCTV typically has:
low frame rates
compression artifacts
infrared illumination at night
“The car was locked. No one inside. The neighbour never uses the back seat.”
❌Unless the storyteller physically inspected the car that moment, these are assumptions:
The neighbour could have forgotten something or someone inside.
They could have left a coat, bag, child seat, blanket, or mannequin-like object that looks human under IR.
Even a headrest+shadow combo looks like a person on CCTV.
We also see that “Four other people saw it live”
❌Group sightings aren’t proof, however, they often reflect:
collective pareidolia (“I see a person! Ooh yeah, I see it too!”)
confirmation bias
expectation contamination
watching on a small, low-quality CCTV monitor where shapes blur into faces
👻 I will say that the footage is something. Even with the story included, there are a few things left out that make this a more believable piece of evidence. What do you think?

Quick Takes
Latest Paranormal Fear video - this was alright. Even to the beginner, you might be hoping to really see some jump scares or actually something caught on video. Always worth the watch to get your paranormal fix.
Waverly Sanitorium - we both still love watching episodes about this place. Might not even get anything during the episodes, but the b-roll is always freaky looking!
Ghost Tour at Scarbro’s Price Mansion - according to a news outlet you can tour this place on the 15th of Nov. Check it out and if you’ve been there, let us know. We all know how “ghost tours” go, but maybe this is the one!

Debunk or Belief - YOU tell ME
MostASocialPerson asked: “How can I start getting paranormal activity in my house?”
Just a few comments from this post:
Be very very careful what you wish for...
That's a bad idea.
Why in the world would you want to do this??
👻 What do you think about this user TRYING to get paranormal activity into their home?
Personally, I think this is just a click bait post. The majority of the comments speak volumes against it and anyone in the paranormal world would agree. Even skeptics.
