Fuzzy blob = ghost

Here's another case of unbelievably stupid credulity.

A security camera catches an image of a fuzzy blob. Those looking at it can't figure out what it is. Therefore, it's a ghost.

Forget the possibility of internal reflections in either the camera itself or the dome covering the camera. Forget that it "jumps" as it moves up the chair, just as a light source shining on it would. Forget common sense.

Instead, the unknown must be personified. In fact, so much so, that little blob of light gets a name. It moves to a chair so it must be "sitting".

*facepalm*

How sad it must be to be so scared of the unknown that the only way to deal with it is through fantasy instead of honesty.
