Ghost I filmed walking around on a ruined Victorian pier head in the UK
Hi all, I filmed this ghostly figure yesterday moving about on a derelict very dangerous pier head that is locked off and has keep off signs all over it because it is in a lethally dangerous condition no one is allowed on it. There is no boat moored to it and it was near the end of the day soon to get dark. The old Victorian pier head (all that is left apart from the pavilion end after a huge storm wiped out the mid section in 1979) is stranded nearly one mile out to sea and I was using full 40X opticle zoom.

Ghost.

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

It moves weirdly. If it is a person, wtf are they doing? Sort of like, meandering to one side then quickly ducking back over. Definitly odd.

I find it hard to believe that some homeless guy swims half a mile to and from shore everytime he wants to eat. I don't see any ladder to be able to climb up and down regardless.

Not saying it's a ghost, but it's kind of hard to imagine a situation for why someone would be on that pierhead and why they behaving so oddly.

I agree with this, but for arguments sake the boat/ladder could be on the other side. Still doesn't explain why someone is out there, and acting weirdly. Could the person be fishing?

Odd place and time to be fishing.

There could be a boat, there could be a ladder (although I don't think I've ever seen a pier with a ladder at the far end before), who knows. It definitely doesn't LOOK like a ghost though. Looks like a guy. But wtf is he doing?? Maybe he's just a total nutcase.

Reminds me of the "abandoned" house on the water in the film Lunopolis. Not so abandoned.

The only thing I could think of in regards to fishing was maybe they had a few stationary rods set up. As he's meandering between them maybe one got a bite, causing him to lurch back over toward it. Its a stretch though. Probably is just some nutjob squatting out there.

Ghost? Naw...that appears to be a very much alive human. What're they doing? Who knows.

As for swimming out to the pier, no doubt they use a small boat, maybe even inflatable raft. It's not that far out,especially at low tide.

I imagine if you're leaving on an abandoned pier you'd have to be a bit crazy

'fun houses' are always creepy when they get a bit old. Like the clown thing, it's also a very creepy thing.

Seems humanoid in movement. A homeless person wouldn't be able to feed themselves there.

Re: Ghost I filmed walking around on a ruined Victorian pier head in the UK
Thanks for the reply s ,the sea is far too cold and has dangerous currents as quite tidal so I very much doubt anybody would swim out there.I had to get back to work and as the figure wasn't waving in any distress I didn't think to contact anybody as some have said he could just be a fisherman although there was no boat that I could see.

the filmmaker needs to grow a pair and go all the way to the shoreline with a better camera (telescope?) and a tripod.
