AND THE FINDINGS>>>
It is indeed just a shadow on the wall. I downloaded the video, expanded the area, set it to high quality, and here is how that looked
there is a angled wall at the beginning, the shadow emerges from the corner, and seems to be elongated, as if someone is passing close to a lightsource, the shadow then moves across more, it squishes up at the corner..you see the shadow reflected from the wall down the hall, giving it the appearance of "legs", when in reality its just the highly polished floor reflecting the shadow..the shadow gets thinner the more it goes (which happens when your walking away from a light source).
So, my theory is that this is just a shadow of someone in the other room (the most convincing part being of course where the shadow seems to merge with the overhead lamp shadow..
I slapped this together real quick to demonstrate

If you look at the feet of the shadow you will see that is it not possible that it is a shadow of a person walking in the fireplace room.
The light from the room with the fireplace reflects onto the floor in the hallway and a dimmer light coming from the intersecting hallway to the left does also. The shadow darkens the light reflecting on the floor from the fireplace room IN THE HALLWAY. The shadow is in the hallway not cast on the far wall of the fireplace room.
That only leaves the windows to the left of the hallway and that is not possible either. The shadow can't be coming from someone outside the windows to the left because the light that shines on the floor from the windows isn't darkened at all.
So, for it to be just a shadow and not a ghost/shadow person, the person would have had to be standing between the upper limit of the reflection on the floor of the windows to the left of the hallway and that would put them in plain sight of the camera.

I just noticed something in the video a couple of posts above.
The shadow extends all the way down the hallway where the film crew was standing.
Notice the light post in the video. I could imagine that there are a few of these hanging around.
It could very well be a person in the room with the film crew walking in front of a light behind the cameraman. Thus creating the shadow, the cameraman is beside the door and not in the middle of the hallway which makes it so that he doesn't cast a shadow down the hall. But someone moving behind him does.

this is obviously a shadow cast by someone walking between the light source and the camera, from behind the camera. The shadow legs stretch all the way down to the bottom of the screen showing you where the source is coming from.

Well, I don't know if it is a ghost or whatnot but that is really strange. It could be a person that was digitally out. The interesting thing is that the house was built in the 70's.

Your guys answers once again baffle me....Seriously, hook line and sinker? Do any of you people research? Where is the original footage? The first 5 or more posts talk about how awesome this, no way, this is how urban legends get started, star and flag for you. VOMIT. In my professional opinion this is clearly staged and obvious. Someone either recorded video or took video of the person walking, filled in the silhouette with black then lowered the opacity and mirrored the reflection. Since when is a pile of grey silhouette a ghost? Come on people, I know you're smarter then that.
