Is an area high school haunted? Asheville is abuzz after video was captured by a motion-activated camera at Asheville High school at 2:51 a.m. Friday, August 1. In the video, a dark image –some say looks like the silhouette of a child- appears by an elevator. The image advances forward and is again captured in the hallway.
It’s something, so far, the Asheville School District says can’t be explained. Charlie Glazener, Executive Director of Public Relations for the District says, “I’m a logical person, and I wanted to be able to explain to these folks, or anybody, this is what I think it is. It’s a bat flying around here, and it casts a shadow; but then why is the shadow down here from a different angle, and it’s not in the shape of a bat?” It’s that shadow cast on the floor that has even the skeptics perplexed.
Sarah Harrison, of the Asheville Paranormal Society says, “Well, I have watched the video and I can’t debunk it. The fact that it set off the motion detectors means something physical was there. The shape morphed into something that was human shaped. I have seen many video surveillance footage of alleged ghosts and this is the only one that I can’t debunk. Many video’s of “ghosts” are hoaxes, but I think this would be impossible to hoax.”
Teacher Martha Geitner has her own theory! “It’s a ghost. Of course it’s a ghost. It’s the ghost of some former student who is really angry with his teacher and has come back to get back with the teacher, and he’s just making himself known at this time.”
A school custodian told New Channel 7’s Connie LeGrand it’s not the first time he’s seen an image like this; but he says that’s what you can expect from a building built in 1929.

All I see is a shadow, where is the ghost?
I guess the shadow is the ghost.
Perhaps if it wore a burka we could spot it.
insect really close to the camera...
Uh, ok. Watched the video. There’s something there—but it’s just a shadow. It could be anything.
It’s a shadow... end of story. But I bet the woman who claims it’s a ghost is a Obama supporter.
Don’t they re-use these tapes? Its probably a shadow from an earlier recording. Time to replace that tape.
I know its not a ghost, because there’s no such thing.
“...get back with the teacher, and he’s just making himself known at this time.””
How did she know that it’s a ‘he’? Maybe she knows something about his death, huh?
Tape wear and damage is usually noticeable and not too hard to check for. Depending on the format, either visual inspection or a waveform monitor can tell.
The machine that made the recording also should be taken into account as well.
Asheville is well known for it’s witch population. Connection?
It’s an insect close to the camera, imo. It’s not a shadow at all, but blurry insect, imo.
It is? I live here and this is the first I’ve heard of this.

Hope I didn't offend you. I would LOVE to live up your way. Beautiful area for sure.
It’s a ceiling cat.
it wouldn’t set off the motion detector. But a roach might.
Hm...
I dont care.
