A spooky piece of security camera footage features an eerie anomaly hovering beneath the stairwell of a building and some viewers think it may be a ghost.

As is often the case with such videos, little is known about its origin or location aside from claims that it was captured by CCTV at around 2 o'clock in the morning.

In the footage, an odd white oddity can be seen floating under the stairs for a fair amount of time before it whisks away into the night.

Since the site of the video is unknown, it's impossible to attach any potential identity to the apparition, but some imaginative observers have suggested, based on the size of the anomaly, that it is the ghost of a child.

Skeptics, of course, say that the 'spirit' is likely just an insect or a speck of dust which became briefly illuminated by the lights inside the building.

Failing that, there's always the old 'trick of light and shadow' argument that posits that the 'ghost' is merely some kind of reflection or something similar.

Ultimately, though, it's really up to each individual to draw their own conclusions about what was caught by the security cameras, since we'll probably never get the full story behind the footage.
