In a chilling incident, the Library Restaurant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, recently captured an eerie apparition on their CCTV footage. The restaurant, which has been standing for 238 years, uploaded the video earlier this week, showing what appears to be a ‘ghost’ floating past the front of their establishment.
The restaurant’s motion detectors, located inside the building, were triggered by the movement caught on the outside camera. This is particularly unusual as the internal motion detectors are not designed to pick up activity from the exterior. The restaurant staff have ruled out the possibility of car lights or wind causing the strange occurrence.
