Did a ghost set off Huddersfield restaurant the Keys' CCTV? Or is there a rational explanation
This CCTV footage gave owner Paul Wood a fright
The Keys restaurant owner Paul Wood had a fright when a ghostly figure appeared on CCTV during closing hours.
Paul was relaxing at home when his phone bleeped to alert him someone - or something - had set off the cameras in the Byram Street restaurant, which is in the underground crypt ofHuddersfield Parish Church.
Thinking it was a burglar, he glanced at his phone - and was shocked to see the bright white apparition on the screen.
He said: “If something sets the camera off when the restaurant is closed we get pictures sent to my phone, so I can be sitting at home watching the burglar and ringing the police.
“The alarm went off and i saw a ghostly figure walk past.
I have just come out of hospital with a bit of a heart problem so it made me miss a beat!
“I went down and tested the camera and it was working fine.
“The restaurant is a very spooky place - there’s something about it but you can’t put your finger on what it is. You get a bit of a tingle down your spine.
“The floor is made of gravestones. There’s been a church there for about 1,000 years so there’s a bit of scope!
“The church does have access and a couple of days later I found out the curate had let himself in that day. A defect with the camera must have made him look like a ghost, but it’s never happened before.
“But you can see the counter where his legs should be - and strangely, it didn’t pick him up leaving...”
Parish church curate Simon Crook is convinced the figure is him.
He said: “I went down into the crypt to do some photocopying that day and I must have set the alarm off as I went down.
