'We can't explain the footage, but we invite people to make up their own minds', Deerpark CBS Principal Kevin Barry said.

Why is there a wet floor sign up at night when no one is around?

The ghost seems like an angry little fücker, too.

Ghost might slip and sue them.

Every bit of it easily faked.

quad_red · 04-10-2017 03:26PM

Head height CCTV camera with perfect night vision and sound?

If I was stuck in Cork for the rest of Eternity, I'd be pretty pissed too, in fairness.

And who happens to be checking cctv footage from a random night, at a random time such as 3.06am?

They say Jesus couldn't have been a cork man.
Because he fell three times and never claimed compo.

since there is no such thing as ghosts i call fake. aliens on the other hand.
joking aside. lets take a real look at the situation.
camera placement odd.
camera quality to good to be true.
camera overlay text (date and time) to clean and in odd position.
well lit area at nightime. to good to be true.

easy to fake
1 door opening person behind door
2. window located behind where locker moved. person outside
3. open locker door with electronics
4. floor mat. string?

Someone ****ed with the wet floor sign, and schools hate that ****.

Why are ghosts always so quick to pointless vandalism?

Probably if the pupil came in and found his books strewn on the floor and wanted to know who broke into his locker??

I cant see any way of explaining that stuff away, but I wouldn’t be going into that building

I bet he even says boi at the end of his boo.

Why would they bother faking that though?

Maybe they found the place in a bit of a state and checked the camera? I'm a massive skeptic but I do enjoy a good spook. I thought it was going to be one of those videos where the ghoul pops up at the end so I'm delighted with their little production!

Was waiting for the scream face

So a class is doing a unit on the power of social media at the moment.

donegaLroad · 04-10-2017 03:39PM

If you watch the wet floor sign when it collapses, it looks as if it is suddenly pulled by something off camera back to the left. Both this and the locker door suddenly opening could be easily done using fishing line. The door at the back of the corridor just slams open / closed.

The ghost photos at Loftus Hall are more convincing.

well the school was built on Indian burial ground

It's a good idea for that purpose.. they could go a step further and get in the local priest to bless the place and film him doing this. Irish priest exorcism, it would go viral for sure

At the risk of scaring myself where would one find these?

moonlighting · 04-10-2017 03:41PM

also most cctv setups have terrible frame rates. this was to good to be true.

A spool of thread and a scissors (pair of scissors?) and too much time on your hands.

Hollywood special effects departments won't be falling off their seats. (unless that's the scene they're working on)

osarusan · 04-10-2017 03:43PM

I was convinced it was a ghost until I saw it being logically explained on this thread.

Fighting Tao · 04-10-2017 03:45PM

Excellent transition year project. Well done in your attempt to get your school on the map.
