I came across this story today and thought that I’d share it with you guys.
A police agent from Manila claims to have captured on cell phone video a “ghost” of a woman all in white.
Of course, this is all over the news today, with no single piece of evidence. Even if there was evidence, we all know that “cell phone ghosts” are the least convincing of them.I saw this story on All Headline News:

Manila, Philippines (AHN) - A police officer under the Philippine National Police-Regional Mobile Group is claiming that a “white lady” or a ghost apparition, has been captured on his mobile phone video.
Reports reaching the capital city Manila showed that the police were conducting operations in a remote village in Bacolod City in central Philippines, when one of them took a video of his companions and the mountainous area around noon on Monday.
However, when they returned to the police headquarters, they were surprised when they reviewed the video to see a female figure in a white flowing gown on the side of a mountain.
The officer who took the video insists he did not see any woman in white on the mountain or nearby when he took the shot.
Superstition is still a widely-held belief in rural Philippines and there are always reports of strange thing happening in far-flung villages.
Again, this is one of those “gas station ghost” stories that spread like wildfire without any evidence to back up the claim. So… while we await for the so called “police ghost video” to make it’s way through the web, here is a “How to fake your own cell phone ghost” tutorial.

I've been keeping and eye on ghosttheory.com for a while now and see that they really keep their site up to date. Thought I would post some of their stuff here. Hope you all enjoy.
A resident of Coalisland, Ireland and reader of GhostTheory has been in contact with me in regards to this so called ghost apparition that has been drawing hordes of onlookers to the small town in Northern Ireland.
Most of the residents have dismissed this as pure tales, made up by news reporters.
The story was first posted on the 6th of January here.
Then we had a resident contact us, saying that it was all rubbish and who wished the media would have never printed such a ridiculous thing. Read that here.
Next, I received a video from the Coalisland resident who thinks this might all be just mass hysteria.
This is the short email I received today:
Javier,
as promised ’something’ on camera. i think it may be exhaust fumes from parked cars.I took a trip out to Coalisland to see if this mysterious ghost sighting was real. I managed to capture something a little strange. If you look carefully at the oncoming car’s right headlight, you will see a ghostly looking figure standing at the right hand side of the road….
The author of the email thinks he captured an anomaly on film while looking for the infamous ghost of Coalisland. I would have to agree with him that what he captured on video is nothing more than the exhaust of the car in line.
Could this all be just mass hysteria, or a mass hallucination?
What is it that some people are seeing in this town? escaping Methane gas? The Moon’s reflection?
or just a car’s exhaust vapor lit by passing headlights? or are they not seeing anything and are just fueling the myth?

The iconic Stonehenge in the UK is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world, but it is not the only stone formation of its kind. Similar stone alignments have been found throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales… and now, it seems, in Lake Michigan.
According to BLDGBLOG, in 2007, Mark Holley, professor of underwater archeology at Northwestern Michigan College, discovered a series of stones arranged in a circle 40 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan. One stone outside the circle seems to have carvings that resemble a mastodon—an elephant-like animal that went extinct about 10,000 years ago.
Archaeologists had been hired to survey the Lake's floor near Traverse City, Michigan, and examine old boat wrecks with a sonar device. They discovered sunken boats and cars and even a Civil War-era pier. But among these expected finds was a potentially-prehistoric surprise.
"When you see it in the water, you're tempted to say this is absolutely real," Holley told reporters at the time. "But that's what we need the experts to come in and verify."
Specialists involved in the case are skeptical and want to gather more info before making a judgment. The problem?
"They want to actually see it," said Holley. "Experts in petroglyphs generally don't dive, so we're running into a bit of a stumbling block there."
The formation, if authenticated, wouldn't be completely out of place. Stone circles and other petroglyph sites are located in the area.
While Chicago has an interesting and colorful history of its own, it's exciting to think that a North American version of Stonehenge could be sitting just over 200 miles away.
