A dog walker claims she's captured footage of a 'demon ghost' crawling across the path in an infamous haunted National Trust country park - so shocking that it's turned her sceptical husband into a 'believer'. Hannah and Dave Rowett were walking their labradors through the supposedly haunted forest in Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, around 6.30am earlier this month when the mum 'felt they weren't alone'.
The 52-year-old quickly pulled out her phone and captured a 'scary' white silhouette crossing the path in front of her as she follows it with a torch. Upon watching it back she turned to Dave, also 52, and said 'I've just seen a ghost'. One of the National Trust's most visited country parks, Clumber Park is claimed to be haunted by a female spirit called 'Grey Lady' who has reportedly been seen wearing a long grey cloak.
She's since described that it appears to be a 'demonic figure crawling on its 'long limbs' and is desperate to show her 'evidence' with the world.
Paranormal sceptic Dave admits his hairs 'stood up on end' when he saw it and that its convinced him to believe in ghosts.
The clip was originally a 'live' photo, where successive frames are joined to make a short video, but Hannah had it converted so she could share it on Facebook.
It's now racked up more than 500 reactions and almost 2,000 comments, with spooked-out users labelling it 'scary' and one even joking he's glad the park's campsites are always booked up.
Hannah, who says 'she has always sensed things', claims she has 'no logical explanation' for the experience as the pub and restaurant owners don't smoke or vape.
Hannah, from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, said: "Initially I thought it was a dog, but then as I look at it it's more a human-type form.
"Dave was still getting one of the dogs out of the car and I just sensed I wasn't on my own. I took a photo and as I did it went across the camera.
"It's quite demonic in the way it's crawling and has long limbs. It never changes its form and if it was smoke it would change.
"I followed it with my torch, watched it back, then turned to Dave and said 'I've just seen a ghost and I've got it on camera'. I didn't feel scared.
"When I sense things I always get my camera out because you don't always see things with the naked eye. That's why I caught it.
"I think it's such an incredible image that I wanted to share it. The kids were blown away by it when we sent it to them.
"I've had so many messages about it. It justifies our feelings about it. There aren't many like this out there and we've got no logical explanation."
Hannah, who runs The White Lion pub and restaurant in Worksop with Dave, says she grew up in a house where she'd 'regularly' see an old man who supposedly haunted it.
Dave described himself as a 'paranormal sceptic' before seeing Hannah's footage but admits it changed his mind and gave him the evidence he needed to believe in ghosts.
Dave said: "I've always been really sceptical but literally every hair from my feet to my head stood on end. I asked her to show me again. I loved it.
"I wasn't scared. I was just glad to see something because I've always said that I'd need to before I believe stuff like that. This makes me believe there is something."
Facebook users have tried to claim the 'figure' is cigarette smoke or e-cigarette vapour, but the pair insist they don't smoke or vape.
They sent the photo to their kids who turned it into a video file for Hannah to post on Facebook.
Her post, captioned 'it seems we weren’t alone on our early morning walk in Clumber today', has earned almost 3,000 shares.
One commented: "The image is too far away to be smoke or breath. Looks cosha to me. Scary."
Another joked: "I'm glad Clumber is always fully booked for camping now, after seeing this."
A third said: "This doesn't look edited."
However, one sceptic said: "It’s just smoke I think."
A second said: "It’s cold. Someone’s probably breathed in and let out some steam."
The pub bosses, who walk their dogs every day in Clumber Park, say they'll be keeping their eyes open for spooky happenings in future.
The National Trust were contacted for comment.
