Ghost screaming in haunted hotel - 3 min video

While trying to figure out why my youtube doesnt seem to be working today, I did manage to get one to work by randomly picking videos.

This was actually posted in September of 2003, but it is pretty freaky so I thought I would bring it here for you members to give it a gander. Pay particular attention to the door after the guard has entered it. The video is only 3:00 long.

Im also curious if any members live around there and have any more stories about this hotel.

The description:

This video was submitted to us by the hotel security manager who was standing watch on September 14, 2003 at a WINGATE HOTEL in Illinois. His voice can be heard in the background of the recording. According to him, people staying at the hotel began calling in noise complaints to the front desk with reports of loud screaming coming from the 2nd floor--particularly room #209. There is no known history to the room according to our investigation. However, upon further review, we found that over the years, multiple complaints of "strange noises" were reported to be coming from the room. This is the only known recording of it.

The video:

S&F That is some pretty trippy stuff. Did you notice the hall light blink off a couple times before John left the room. About 1:40 in. The ending where the shadow leaves the room might be close to the time the light blinks out too. Watching again.

ETA: Yup, shadow leaves at 1:33 and the link blinks 7 sec later. That guy looked pretty spooked coming out of there lol. Good find.

This could easily have been a staged event with some bored security team. They never showed any video or images from inside of the room so we could see the carpet torn up and the furniture turned upside down. Even then, those could've been staged as well.

It's also quite convenient for the camera to be right outside of the particular room, and pointing so that you couldn't see inside to see the furniture.

Sorry, but this is a hoax until proven otherwise.

Pfffft. Prove it a hoax before claiming it is. How hypocritical

Forget the police, I'd be calling Dan Akroid and Bill Murray! That is some strange footage. I like it. S+F!!

The video is pretty cool, but it could easily be a hoax. The scream kind of sounds like the "dying giraffe" sound from the South Park movie. Does the hotel/room have any paranormal or tragic history?

I posted all there was as far as the description goes. I suppose one could google the hotel name and see what comes up. I probably will after I eat dinner

I can't really say one way or the other if it is a hoax, but there are plenty of ways to hoax this video. I do find it interesting that there is a camera pointed at that door so conveniently. Don't hotels usually point them down the hall? Why is it pointing right at that room? This could easily be a marketing ploy for free advertizing.

Not one single piece of hard scientific evidence has been found to prove that ghosts exist. That in and of itself proves the video is a HOAX. You can read more about that here:

.... and/or any number of other links if you type "can science prove ghosts are real" or something similar into a search engine.

Everything about this video is fishy. First, the conversation. The way he's speaking, the wording, timing, etc...it all just doesn't seem genuine. Next, the security cameras. Their angles, positions, precise switching back and forth, and mind you one, and nearly the other, is right outside the room. Come on.

Coincidentally, mainstream science contends that Aliens haven't been visiting the earth, UFO's aren't actually spaceships (if they exist at all), and the abduction phenomenon is probably purely a psychological phenomenon, and yet you believe in those things. I guess science only knows what it's talking about when it conforms to your personal opinions.

You really need to learn logical thinking. Even if it were true that no scientific evidence has ever been provided to prove that ghosts exist (that's a highly contentious statement), that would not be proof that the video is a hoax. Rather, it would be an argument for it being a hoax. When debunkers of the paranormal cannot tell the difference between a mere argument (easily refuted) and incontestible proof, no wonder they spread confusion and questions about the paranormal never get resolved.

Hogwash. And you claim to express an interest in a "Scientific" approach to solving the enigma? Obviously science has not proven ghosts exist, but it hasn't proven they don't neither. I'm actually at a loss for words right now regarding the hypocrisy of your comment. A true scientific approach would be to continue searching wouldn't you think? Either the video is real or it isn't and that my friend is what you're supposed to figure out.

And I told you it was fake and the reasons why, regardless of the scientific aspect of it.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where you gave the reasons why. What were they again?

Yeah right ! The lights are working fine in the hall but to add "atmosphere" the guard enters the room with his torch FAIL NO WAY YOU WOULD SWITCH THE GODDAM ROOM LIGHT ON ! He didn't even try:

Hoax , pure and simple.

I agree with this 200% .. Not buying this at all .. it was all too convenient that a camera is pointed right at that particular door.

No.. no I don't believe in any of those things because there's no scientific evidence to support them. Doesn't change the fact that it's just too difficult to believe that a security camera was installed right outside the room with the door in center frame, and as someone else pointed out.. the lights were all working in the hall but you don't see him attempt to flip the switch at all .. goes in with just a flash light.. all for mood.

There's nothing believable about this video, and certainly none of it is evidence of anything.

I've seen this video before, and found it to be pretty cool. Whether or not it really is legit, I don't know, but I really liked that it might be.

I never gave my opinion on the authenticity of the video, and my comments weren't directed at you, were they?
