Spooky season is upon us, ladies and gentlemen, and we will soon find ourselves gathered with friends and family, pontificating on the paranormal, perhaps over a bonfire or some hot apple cider.
Yes, this is the time of year when the supernatural becomes almost natural, where “the veil” itself feels the thinnest, and where everyone is vying for a little attention with a scary story or two.
This week, one YouTube camping vlogger wound up with a wild new bit of evidence of their own spectral encounter, and is now sharing the frightening footage with the world.
A YouTuber filming a camping instructional video was taken aback when he reviewed his footage and noticed a man briefly appears in the background of the scene before seemingly vanishing into thin air. The spooky incident reportedly occurred at a lake in Northern Ontario during the making of what was meant to be a demonstration of how to cook S’mores using a Swedish stove. In the video, as the outdoorsman prepares a spot outside of his cabin for filming and his dog wanders around in front of the camera, a man can be seen off in the distance walking towards the shore of the lake. However, before he completely moves out of frame, the mysterious stranger inexplicably fades into nothing and disappears from sight.
The area is known for its ghostly encounters.
The lake where the scene was filmed is said to be the site of eerie paranormal activity such as sightings of mysterious balls of light and similar accounts of people on canoes who dematerialize in an instant.
Skeptics have suggested that the incident may just be an optical illusion manifested on account of the sunlight, but you can judge for yourself below:
