Paranormal experts debunk video of ‘ghost soldiers’ at Gettysburg

Paranormal experts have debunked the video supposedly showing ‘ghost soldiers’ at Gettysburg.

Yep, turns out that viral video everyone gets so obsessed with might not be all it seems. Greg Yuelling was previously visiting the Civil War battle site in Pennsylvania, US, when he captured the eerie clip.

“We were driving along one night and we started hearing noises, I heard things to the left and my uncle heard things to the right, and there was a fog, but the fog was weird, it was only in one patch not dispersed," he explained

“Then we saw these shapes moving in the darkness, they were the size of humans, one of them ran right through the cannon."

The bloke watched the videos back and ended up pretty ‘freaked out’. It made him ‘believe everything’ as he was sure he’d captured ghosts of the soldiers.

But when LADbible presented this footage to Help! My House is Haunted presenters Barri Ghai and Jayne Harris, it seems Yuelling may not have captured the figures after all.

Investigator and technical expert Ghai says he watched the video ‘several times’ before coming up with a ‘logical explanation’.

“These are not spirits,” he begins. “Despite Gettysburg being rife with history and loads of paranormal stories over the years. I think what I'm seeing there is moisture on the windscreen.”

Yeah, pretty underwhelming. Ghai explains that the video seems to be from inside the car and it appears to be foggy.

“There's definitely moisture that seems to be running down the face of the windscreen,” he explains. “And I think it's a combination of the environmental factors and what he's actually seeing through the mist and the fog.”

And historian and psychologist Harris agrees that as amazing as the video seems in such a historical location, there’s just ‘too many environmental factors’ involved.

“It looks brilliant,” she adds. “It’s a good, impressive clip but I don’t think it’s a ghost.” But Harris does appreciate it’s pretty disappointing for investigators to be sceptical about this type of stuff.

“We see so many photographs and video clips, and especially, obviously now with mobile phones and these, you know, people are recording their own things all the time,” she says.

Well, there you have it, those ‘ghosts’ at Gettysburg aren’t really ghosts – at least not in that video anyway.
