Clifton couple haunted by the ghostly image of 'young child' captured on CCTV
Clifton couple haunted by the ghostly image of 'young child' captured on CCTV.
A COUPLE have been left mystified after seeing a white ghost-like image float in front of their CCTV cameras in the early hours.
Lisa and Phil Rigley, of Clifton, were amazed when they replayed their CCTV camera later in the day to see a white blur the shape of a small person float over their car in the driveway.
It disappeared off screen for about a minute or so before dashing across the road again in front of their house.
The couple, who live in Sturgeon Avenue, installed CCTV a while ago after damage was caused to their cars.
Last week, a neighbour asked them whether they had seen anything suspicious on their CCTV after finding something missing from the garden.
However, when they played it back in the morning they were shocked by what they saw.
Mrs Rigley, 44, said: "The image of a child jumped over my fence, landed over the roof of my car, flew down the street and flew back.
"I'm absolutely gobsmacked by this. I've got the footage here, it's the image of a young child about four or five."
The couple have four cameras but only the one black and white camera picked up the image.
"It's a ghost, it's got to be," said Mrs Rigley, who said their dog always woke up and barked if there were people around the house but did not disturb them that night.
"The dog hears everything," she said.
"It really was spooky. It was one of those weird feelings where you just think to yourself, 'what on earth is it?'"
She added: "It looks like Casper [the friendly ghost]".
She was in the house with daughter-in-law Sam at the time but neither woke up or heard anything around 1.30am, which is when the image appeared on the CCTV.
"Phil is very cynical," she said.
"He doesn't believe in ghosts. I'm quite open-minded but I just don't know. I've never seen a ghost in my life but to see that – it's mind-blowing, it's very strange."

Ghost Photographs. Real or Fake?
Don't turn out the light! Terrifying photos of ghosts that will keep you up at night.
These are the things that go bump in the night.
From murdered slaves to tortured hospital patients to forgotten sailors, ghost stories will
send a shiver down most people's spines.
But this collection of images will call into question everything you think you know about
the spirit world... and how easy it may be to cross back over from the 'other side'.
Paranormal investigators have spent decades painstakingly researching each photograph,
debunking some and failing to disprove others.
(Taken at Corroboree Rock at Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia in 1959,
this photograph appears to show a woman holding her hands toward her face, peering out
into the distance.)
(Locals of Quezon City, Philippines, steer clear of Balete Drive at night. They say a woman in white with long black hair, her face covered in blood, stands in the centre of the road. Drivers pack their backseat with passengers because if there is one empty seat, an uninvited guest just might take it.)
(This woman was visiting the Fleet Air Arm Centre in Yelverton, Somerset, in 1987. Posing for the photo, she said she felt strangely cold, though it was a hot day. She also claims she was the only one in the aircraft... so who is that sitting to her right?)
(Chloe was a slave at the house on a plantation in St Francisville, Louisiana. After being caught snooping on her master's private conversation, he cut off her ear. Seeking revenge, Chloe baked a cake out of toxic oleander leaves, intended for her cruel boss. When his wife and daughters ate it instead, she fled but was lynched by fellow slaves. She still haunts the plantation to this day.)
Take the tale of the white lady of the Philippines.
Locals of Quezon City steer clear of Balete Drive at night as they say that a woman in
white with long black tresses, face covered in blood, stands in the centre of the road,
staring at oncoming vehicles.
Drivers try to avoid the street at all costs - but if they must pass, they pack their backseat
with passengers because if there is one empty seat, an uninvited guest just might take it.
In photographs, she appears as a bright, white light in the road, legs barely visible.
Or consider the story of Chloe the inquisitive slave.
Chloe lived at the house of Myrtle's Plantation in St Francisville, Louisiana.
She would often listen in on conversations she wasn't supposed to, snooping in on her
master's private talks.
One afternoon, Chloe was caught. According to legend, her master cut off her ear as
punishment.
For revenge, Chloe baked a cake out of oleander leaves, which are poisonous.
She wanted her cruel master to taste it, but his wife and daughters beat him to it.
She fled the house, but was lynched by her fellow slaves. She still haunts the plantation
to this day, listening in on the conversations of its visitors.
Chloe can sometimes be seen hiding behind the doors, columns, or bushes on the
residence.
(This picture was taken in February 2002 of what used to be a local general store. It appears the building has attracted some shoppers from the other realm as well.)
(This early 20th century snap of a bureau was taken at the request of a furniture dealer by Montague Cooper, a well-respected photographer of the day. It appears he was so good, even a ghost wanted to pose.for him.)
(The Pink Lady of Greencastle, Indiana, was discovered by ghost hunter Guy Winters when he
went with a friend to photograph the woman who haunts the O'Hare Mansion.)
(This photograph was taken during the American Civil War. A ghost, believed to be that of a dead soldier, was captured walking up these stairs in a basement.)
But not all ghosts have been scorned.
An Australian woman named Mrs Andrews was visiting the grave of her daughter in a
cemetery in Queensland, in the 1940s when she took a photo.
Her daughter Joyce had died the year before at the age of 17. She was shocked to find a
child in the photo that she did not recognise sitting on top of the grave.
Australian paranormal researcher Tony Healy visited the cemetery in the late 1990s to find
out what had happened.
He found that near Joyce's grave, two infant girls were buried.
(Diane and Peter Berthelot visited Worstead Church in Norfolk in 1975. Peter snapped a photo of his wife praying silently in the pew. They didn't realise until later that she was not alone.)
Diane and Peter Berthelot visited Worstead Church in Norfolk in 1975 with their 12-year-
old son.
Peter snapped a photo of his wife praying silently in the pew.
When they looked at the photos a few months later, a friend asked 'Who's that sitting behind
you, Di?'
The mysterious figure appeared to be dressed in old-fashioned clothing, including a bonnet, according to About.com.
Confused and confounded, the couple returned to the church the next year to share their
photograph.
The church vicar, Reverend Pettit, told the Berthelots the legend of the White Lady.
The ghost, Reverend Pettit said, was known to visit people who had fallen ill, offering them
comfort and healing them.
Diane was shocked because when the photo was taken, she was taking antibiotics and was
not doing well.
The legends of the White Lady date back more than 100 years. She is said to appear on
Christmas Eve every year and the church in which she once dwelled is now an aptly
named pub: The White Lady.
(Robert A. Ferguson, author of Psychic Telemetry, was speaking in Los Angeles,
California, on November 16, 1968. He believed his brother Walter, who died in
1944 during World War II, was standing beside him.)
(Mrs Andrews took this picture while visiting her daughter's grave in Queensland, Australia in the 1940s. Her child Joyce had died the year before aged 17. She was shocked to find a young stranger sitting on the grave. When paranormal researcher Tony Healy visited the cemetery in the 1990s, he found that near Joyce's grave, two infant girls were buried.)
(In 1924, the SS Watertown was en route to the Panama Canal from New York City when James Courtney and Michael Meehan were killed by gas fumes in a freak accident while cleaning a cargo tank. Soon after, crew members saw two faces in the water following the ship.)
Some of the photographs have been researched for decades, with paranormal aficionados
looking into their origins.
In 1924, for example, the SS Watertown was en route to the Panama Canal from New York
City.
James Courtney and Michael Meehan were killed by gas fumes in a freak accident while
cleaning a cargo tank.
In the days following their deaths, crew members began reporting seeing two faces in the
water following the ship.
The captain snapped several photographs of the water where their faces appeared and of
five, one appeared to contain the apparitions.
(This photograph was taken hours before this dying man's last breath. Three mysterious orbs appeared in the images, which some believe to be spirits and others swear are fingerprint smudges.)
Blake Smith looked into the history of the image after it frightened him in elementary
school.
He says the story originated with the oil company Cities Service (CITGO) who were the
owners of the Watertown. The first publication of the image was in the in-house magazine
Service in 1934, Mr Black says.
He found another paranormal investigator's research, which included information about
how the captain's film was developed.
A commercial photographer in New York apparently took hold of the film once the ship
docked.
Mr Blake consulted Joe Nickell, investigator with the Centre for Inquiry about his
opinion.
(Two men are seen working on renovations for this old and 'empty' hospital in 1918 - but on the far left balcony, they're not alone.)
'That picture has a suspiciously hard edge to the (viewer’s) left side of the face on the left,
and this ruler-straight line (the edge of a rope) extends all the way to the top of the (cropped)
picture. This looks like some form of photographic skulduggery (indicative of cutting and
pasting, or possibly masking in conjunction with an airbrush).'
Despite his findings, he believes that one of the ghost faces may be real, the second added
for effect.
'The photo does date from a time when bogus spirit photos were commonly produced,' he
admits.

Paranormal Activity at American Pizza Restaurant.
Is Stocky’s Pizza Haunted? Shocking Surveillance Footage Points to Paranormal Activity.
Many folks believe in ghosts, but few can say they’ve caught evidence of a haunting on video. Stocky’s Pizza employee Lori Evans says there’s not only a ghost haunting the recently opened Haughton, Louisiana pizzeria, but that it’s far from friendly. And she has some unnerving surveillance camera footage to prove it.
Last Saturday morning, Evans arrived at Stocky’s to find the ice scoop in the middle of the kitchen floor. When the staff left the night before, it was placed on top of the ice machine where it’s normally kept.
The discovery was the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back,” Evans tells Kiss Country.
A number of similarly eerie incidents prior to that morning prompted her to scour the surveillance video to see just what was going on. What she discovered will make you shiver.
The following video was recorded on July 14 at a little after 6 a.m. — hours before the arrival of any of the staffers. Nobody was in the pizzeria at the time, confirms Evans.
Watch closely at the top left portion of your screen. What you’re seeing is two metal ice scoops flying off the top of the ice machine. Not falling, but FLYING! According to Evans, the way the scoops are stacked makes it very unlikely for them to fall, let alone be thrown halfway across the kitchen.
Over the past few months, Evans says several other inexplicable events have shaken up the staff, including flying bottles and a feeling that someone was watching them from the shadows:
"The first thing that happened was when I was standing in the kitchen area at the dough roller working. All of a sudden a bottle of tobasco sauce hit me in the back then landed on the ground. I looked back because the bottle had been on top of the microwave. A server who was in the dining area actually saw it happen and we were both freaked out because it flew across room as opposed to just falling from its spot! We started wondering at that point. The tobasco sauce has been mysteriously thrown several times and busted on one occasion! Another time was when we were working and heard a loud crash in the back hall. When we went to see what it was, there was a broom and a dust pan both on the floor. They “snap” into a holder on the wall so they are never on the floor. They’d been hanging there fine all day with no problems and snap into seperate holders, yet both fell???? The motion sensors have gone off twice and the alarm company has called the owner to come out and check; to find nothing. Several of us have actually “felt” a presence and had the hair stand up on our arms/neck. When I came in that morning and found those on the floor, so far from their spot, I knew it was time to check it out on tape and we finally found evidence of activity!
Evans believes this surveillance video is proof positive that something paranormal exists in the popular establishment, besides the “heavenly” pizza and salad bar.
But who — or what — could be haunting the pizzeria? Years before Stocky’s Pizza opened, the location was Walker Bros. convenience store. Evans tells Kiss Country that she’s heard a terrible automobile accident happened on the premises in which a woman was hit and her car actually smashed through the wall of the store. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Evans believes she never left.
