Ring Doorbell chose Halloween eve to release some of the footage submitted by customers who swear the camera captured ghosts approaching the house.
Ring encouraged the submissions as a Halloween promotion, offering a $100,000 prize for the best video, submitted to the company by Nov. 1. The company said it has received 4,000 videos, including this one that appears to show a ghostly figure ringing the doorbell, then slipping inside for a beverage.
Another shows a dog running through the front yard of a home, then disappearing into thin air while still in the cameras field of vision.
While the promotion is done tongue-in-cheek style in keeping with the Halloween season, claims that Ring Doorbells have captured spooky spirits are nothing new. A YouTube search shows many such videos that extend back several years, including this one, uploaded in 2019, that purports to show a ghostly orb.
