A terror-stricken couple claim to be living in a 'real-life
Paranormal Activity' after capturing footage of what they say is a ghostly figure lurking right outside their bedroom door at night.
Joey and Amy Radke, of Shakopee, Minnesota, believe the figure in their hallway to be the restless spirit of a former tenant who died in their home.
After moving in two years ago, the pair chose to ignore warnings that the property was haunted by 'demonic entities' and had always felt quite comfortable - until last week when they looked at their CCTV.
The pair set up CCTV cameras to check on their pets and the footage appears to show a 'spectral figure with bouffant hair' clad in a nightgown.
The video was taken in the hallway at night and Joey has likened it to disturbing scenes from the 2007 horror movie, Paranormal Activity.

Joey, 37, says the landlord did warn he and wife Amy that she'd previously sensed a presence in the house and that another tenant claimed to have felt 'demonic entities' watching her as she slept.
The footage has prompted Joey to look through more footage and he has since pressed their neighbours for more information about the house.
However, Amy, 45, has apparently been left so terrified that she refuses to speak about what the footage shows.
After investigating further, sales worker Joey believes the figure could be that of an elderly lady who passed away in the house years ago and was carried out by paramedics while still wearing her nightie.
Joey believes that the footage shows "proof of the afterlife", describing the creepy clip as being the "holy grail of ghost videos" as he reckons it can't possibly be faked.
Joey explained: "The video is like something from Paranormal Activity. When I saw it, I just thought 'oh my God'. I was creeped out.
"We took it to my brother-in-law's house to get it up on the TV and we could make out a woman with bouffant hair, like a beehive. We just gasped. It freaks my wife out. She doesn't want to talk about it.
"A woman died in our bedroom many years ago. The neighbours say she was taken out by paramedics in her nightgown and in the video, you can see the figure is wearing a nightie.
"The person we're renting from said they thought they felt a presence and the previous renter said they saw demonic entities, shadows, and something watching her while she was sleeping. I'm starting to notice things now because I'm more aware".
He continued: "After the video, I have the feeling that I'm being watched. I'll be sat watching TV in the living room and the hallway is on my right and I can see something out of the corner of my eye but there's nothing there.
"I feel like someone is standing there peeking their head around the corner.
"It's real, there's no two ways about it. You can't fake that. It proves that there is an afterlife.
"This video is the holy grail of ghost videos. I did believe in an afterlife before but I like to physically see it".
The footage in question was captured at approximately 10.40 pm and appears to show the figure walking out of Amy's office and into the hallway, prompting the couple's cats - Tigger, Sophie, and Peanut - to hide beneath a coffee table.
Joey himself can then be seen stepping out into the hallway to use the bathroom, walking through the exact same spot where the figure had been standing mere seconds before.
Joey added: "This is the first time I've seen anything. We see it going from right to left. That room is my wife's office and it's always cold. I was in there a couple of days ago and I could see my own breath but we have a furnace in the house and thick plastic on the windows and you can feel the temperature difference when you go out into the hallway.
"I definitely know my cats saw it because one goes under the glass coffee table and peeks out down the hallway looking directly at the figure. The figure is definitely levitating because it's taller than me.
"About 20 seconds after it disappeared, I come out to go to the restroom and walk right through where she was standing. I think it's cool because I'm more curious. I want to see it again so I can ask questions".
