Paranormal experts have been left stumped by a mysterious video that shows a light making bizarre movements on a quiet street.

At first the orb appears to be being carried by a person – but then it inexplicably drops to a lower level, sparking speculation that it could have been a ghost.

The incident was caught on camera in a residential street on December 12 and does appear to be a person carrying a mobile phone or another form of light.

The illumination initially appears from behind a parked car but then moves down.

Chris Romer, the chairman of the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena, hailed the incident as among the best sighting of 2021.

He said: ‘It’s amazing – it’s a real mystery why the light dropped. ‘It’s some of the best footage I’ve seen this year.’

But he added that incident is probably does involve someone carrying a mobile phone with the torch setting on.

The mum who captured the footage on her outdoor camera said she was baffled, despite claiming to not believe in ‘paranormal things’.

She said: ‘It starts off as half a person and ends as a ball. ‘One of my neighbours has a camera and it didn’t pick this up. If it was someone walking then the other camera would have caught it.

‘The man next door said before there were houses on this road there was a company who made bricks. And they wore head torches. So it could be the ghost of one of them.’

Dr Becky Smith, a parapsychologist, is unconvinced by claims of supernatural events.

She said: ‘I’m not a video footage expert, but I’m afraid I don’t believe it’s a ghost.
‘I’m confused by why the figure appears to duck down about halfway through, but not enough to make me think it’s anything paranormal.’

Others were more inclined to speculate on the possible involvement of spirits.
Local folklorist Dr David Sivier said: ‘The bumpy motion of the light makes me wonder if it’s a light being carried by someone, who for some reason doesn’t appear in the image.

‘Apart from this, there’s all the folklore about ghostly lights and “corpse candles”.

‘My guess is that it has a natural explanation, but I couldn’t definitively say without further exploration.
