A worker at a nursing home in Chicago got the last laugh on his friends and family who disbelieved his claims of seeing a ghost after he produced security footage which seems to show the spirit in question. During an overnight shift at the facility, security guard Jay Brown reportedly witnessed some kind of apparition lingering in the building. However, upon telling his loved ones the next day, he was dismayed when they dismissed his account of the eerie encounter.

Undeterred, Brown turned to the security system at the facility to see if perhaps it had captured something strange during the alleged sighting. Fortunately, much to his delight and amazement, the cameras appear to have, indeed, filmed something truly odd at the moment that he had seen something strange. In the footage, Brown can be seen sitting at the reception desk at the nursing home when a weird white fog, of sorts, floats through the air in front of him.

What makes the video particularly compelling is how Brown reacts in the moment that he sees the anomaly. At first, he just stares at the inexplicable sight and then swiftly stands up at the desk while never taking his eyes off the apparition had appeared before him. Brown subsequently stiffens up and takes a step back before regaining his composure and putting his hands up in a manner to suggesting that he wanted nothing more to do with the creepy sight.

While skeptics may say that there is a prosaic explanation for the weird video or perhaps some kind of trickery on Brown's part, the footage is pretty compelling. And anyone who has ever experienced seeing something paranormal unfold before their eyes and then having had their story ridiculed by others can appreciate the satisfaction he displays when watching the video since it seemingly confirms that he saw something spooky that night. What's your take on the security camera footage?

i believe him. i enhanced the photo of the apparition by sharpening it and adjusting the lighting and got this:

Not too long ago I took a friend to see his elderly mother while she was in one of those homes recovering from a hospital stay. While walking through the lobby & halls I sensed more dead people than I could take in. The place was thick with them. A sensitive person couldn’t work there. Really quite creepy.
 
do you all think that nursing homes are overcrowded? and that patients are often ignored? maybe that's the ghost of a disgruntled patient who died from lack of proper care. maybe that's why the nursing home is abandoned today.

Not all are, no. I worked in some very good ones with wonderful, caring staff.

Not all are bad but there are some bad understaffed ones here in oz.There's an inquiry atm about them and abuse of the residents.These are the ones that would see a lot of negative energy and lost souls imo.

There will always be bad ones, and that comes from uncaring, poorly screened staff. Each state has an ombudsman to call with complaints. It's also a matter of staff ratio in some cases. If a facility is all about money and cuts the staff ratio to bare minimum, then you will see bare minimum care. I would encourage anyone seeing abuse or neglect in a facility to call their State Board of Health with a complaint. These are always investigated and the State Boards do not fool around.
