Ghost Hunters Shadow Figure Footage

Ghost Hunters Shadow Figure Footage

Television investigators Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) captured unexplained shadow movement during their October 2008 investigation of Eastern State Penitentiary. The footage was recorded using infrared cameras and digital video equipment in Cell Block 12 during overnight investigation sessions. The video shows a distinct shadow figure moving across the corridor wall independent of any identifiable light source. The shadow appears humanoid in shape, moves with purposeful motion, and cannot be attributed to passing investigators or equipment. Frame-by-frame analysis reveals the shadow maintains consistent opacity and moves against the direction of actual lighting in the area. Technical analysis by the show's equipment specialists found no evidence of tampering or conventional explanation. The footage aired on Sci-Fi Channel and remains publicly available on video platforms. Multiple paranormal investigators have referenced this capture as significant evidence, though mainstream science has not conducted independent analysis. Why would experienced investigators risk their credibility on fabricated evidence when their methodology emphasizes debunking false positives?
