Ghostly pedestrian caught on cop's dash cam

How is it related?

Ghostly = like or related to ghosts.

Does it look like an ordinary pedestrian to you? Why or why not?

The first pedestrian definitely looks ghostly to me. The car runs right thru it. The second pedestrian also looks ghostly, all white and appearing to vanish in the middle of the road. Any more questions?

Yore just playing games here: you didn't answer the question. The question was if you think this is a video of a ghost or just a normal person who looks "ghostly".

What I don't get about your schtick is that there doesn't seem to be any reason for it, besides plain trolling. If you really believe the video shows a ghost, just say so and say why. Instead, it appears that you didn't start the thread to discuss the video, but intended instead for the thread to be a way to annoy people with a game about the definition of "ghostly".

If I say it is a ghost Emnos will ban me for making a claim without supporting evidence. So in the attempt to be hyperobjective, I merely propose it looks like a ghost. You can't deny that. Both figures I might add. Did you see the one at .027 seconds? How do you explain that?

You had the issue explained to you several times and either you don't get it or don't want to get it. Instead, you are making it worse.

That's not hyper objective, it is deceptive gamesmanship.
...I merely propose it looks like a ghost. You can't deny that.

Of course I can: no one has ever seen a ghost and been able to prove it. What some of your videos look like is pop-culture fictionalized visions of what ghosts might look like. But most, including this one, just look like bad misunderstandings of photography.

I had to watch several times to see what you are talking about. I see fog or dust that you apparently think is a ghost.

So in other words... you are trying to use the volatility of the English Language to skirt the idea that you are making a claim you know you cannot support, and instead pose the thread as a postulate of what it might be...

...

what...?

More like posing a thread about what it looks like. Hence the adjective "ghostly." Also trying not to give mods another excuse to ban me. Is NOT saying it's a ghost now an infractionable offense too?

Not at all - I'm just confused as to what your intent was with the thread.

Magical, let me be blunt - you are posting this video as a claim that it is a ghost. Don't insult our intelligence by claiming otherwise.
That's fine - as I've said before - if you want to claim it is a ghost or other phenomenon, explain WHY you think it is and back those claims.

I'm going to hold you and everyone else to the same standard here - whether you are arguing PRO or CON to the statement (for it or against it), you will be held to the same platform of expectation in terms of evidence provided. You must back your argument either way.

Nope..never claimed it was a ghost. The video speaks for itself. IOW, it shows 2 ghostlike figures at different points of the drive. I've already posted where to find them. The first is a transparent humanoid figure standing in the middle of the road that he drives thru and then pulls over to investigate. The second is of a white humanoid figure that disappears in the middle of the road. On this basis both figures appear ghostlike. What else do you need? Them holding a sign saying "I'm a ghost"? Also, who would possibly be walking around on a deserted country road at 12:16 AM?

I cannot answer that MR - I'm not sure what it would take to convince me they are legitimate spectres... I've had experiences with things that I've not been able to explain (from the well-documented "orbs" to what appeared in my peripheral vision as a spectral car driving alongside me), but I can't just jump to "paranormal" as my default answer.

Not everyone does the usual 9am-5pm thing man... a lot of people in this country work second, third, or even graveyard shifts... to them, midnight is our afternoon.
 
On closer inspection, it looks faked. Immediately after the 'ghost' disappears there is a dark block covering the area.

^Download images and click through them. Especially, go back and forth between 3rd and 4th. Seems something is off.

Actually, here: [video]http://www.enmos.eu/temp/ghostly.m4v[/video]

This one might be better: [video]http://www.enmos.eu/temp/ghostly2.avi[/video]

It looks to me like the "dark blob" is present throughout the entire video in one form or another. It appears to me to be an area not covered by the car's searchlight.
