Chilling footage apparently shows the ‘ghost of a miner’s wife’ float past a woman before vanishing into thin air.

Mom Jackie Batt, from Rugely, Staffordshire, U.K., returned home from a walk one day to see she’d received a message from her neighbor, Kerry-Anne Docherty, who wanted to show her something important. 

Docherty, 46, had come across a surprising discovery when checking her Ring doorbell footage, and she struggled to find an explanation for it. 

Doorbell footage shows 55-year-old Batt strolling past Docherty’s house, in addition to a ‘tall’ woman walking in the opposite direction seemingly wearing 1940s clothing.

Before leaving the frame, the woman appears to ‘dissolves.’

Docherty, who said she’s a paranormal skeptic, suggested the ‘disappearing’ figure could have been a glitch in the doorbell footage, however, Batt insists the only person she walked past was a young man. 

Batt is convinced the hat-wearing woman is the ‘spirit of a miner’s wife,’ as the area was apparently built in the 1940s to house their families. 

The mom said: “I am a believer and it’s just surreal as I honestly didn’t see anyone walking down the street at that time in the morning. 

“The building where we live was built in the 1940s for the miners at the time. I can only assume it’s a miner’s wife.”

She added: “She looked like she disappeared into thin air. She looked like she had a long coat on with a hat and little wedged shoes, and it was a strange one.

“I am a believer of ghosts but we’ve never had anything like this happen near us before.”

Baffled by the footage, Docherty, also from Rugely, Staffordshire, regularly checks her Ring doorbell as there had been recent breaks-in nearby and she likes to see what’s happening on the street.

She took to Facebook and shared the video, captured at 7:07 a.m, with others. 

It’s since accumulated over 400 reactions and 170 comments, with people divided on whether it’s a glitch or something paranormal. 

Docherty said in the viral Facebook post: “This is some footage from my Ring doorbell yesterday morning. 

“My neighbor in white heading right said she didn’t see a woman walking past her and if you zoom in you see the woman walking left kind of dissolve and she looks see through.

“I’m not a paranormal believer (basically because I’ve never really witness anything) but I am now kind of skeptical. 

“If anyone can shed any light [on this] I would be truly grateful.”

One Facebook user responded: “Looks like a lady from the 40s or something. Wow.”

In agreement, a second commented: “It looks like a woman in clothing from the 1940s or 1950s. Even the hat and shoes look like they are from that period.

“Looks like you’ve captured an apparition. Excellent capture.”

However, a skeptic suggested: “It’s more likely a signal dropout.”

“Looks like a camera glitch as the person in white appeared past the point where the other started disappearing,” weighed in another.
