    It could easily be pareidolia, especially since its a once off. Now if it kept cropping up in other peoples videos etc etc from different angles then they might be on to something, but otherwise I couldnt class it as fake, as its real (as in you can see it) but its not paranormal.

    I wouldnt be quick to say it isnt paranormal without checking it out myself. Could be many things.

    I can't say for sure if this is real or not but in defence of the couple in the video the camera is old and they don't look like the type to mess with the footage .

    Was film and photo corruption around back then ?

    I guess it could be fake or just an innocent passer by who is an admirer of horses .

    It's not fake because iv seen this footage a number of times now and it was filmed some time ago. That's not to say it can't be faked but it's a very interesting peice of footage.

    I think with regards to the pareidolia thing mentioned above, that might be the case but the problem with that is it does show up twice. The apparent head and then the back of it. Till this day, no one can explain what it was and how it got onto the video. It's the exact same thing with that ryhman ghost photo.

    When I read the thread title I was expecting to see a ghost 'riding a school'....or something...:confused:

    It's prob a tesco bag stuck in the tree.

    I dont see how this proves it to be real or fake.

    I think this is just a trick of the light as there appear to many white spots along the row of trees and when its 'back is to the camera' it is much lower than when it's 'facing the camera'(its at the horses feet then it is above the horses head). It does look like a head but its not paranormal in my opinion.

    Fair enough but it is very interesting. It could be an apparation. I'd love if it was lol.:)

    Me too i'd love it to be real but for me personally it's evidence like this (that's easily discredited imo) that makes this area of research somewhat laughed at.

    What are they claiming?

    There's a person in the background of the film, although they claim there was no one there.

    At the time of the filming they were concentrating on riding and not what was outside the fence.

    It's been proven in psychological studies, such as the man dressed in the gorilla suit walking past an observer unseen, that such is possible to go unnoticed.

    As mentioned, could be a plastic bag or something similar, and it happened to look like a face from a particular angle, like this:

    Or, as was also mentioned, there could have been a curious passer-by that went unnoticed at the time since they were concentrating on the person on the horse, like this:

    Both explanations sound more plausible than something paranormal that is only supported by anecdotal evidence and ambiguous photos/videos, wouldn't you agree?

    The quality of the clip is poor. Didn't look like a ghost to me

    I agree to a certain extent but i think in that sort of environment you would kind of notice if some one was right next to the riders just a little bit near the bushes.
