Sintra Ghost

This video, as far as I know, was one of the most polemical "complete" ghost videos out there some years ago, it happened in Portugal/Sintra, it is about a lift that some teenagers gave to a girl they found on the street, that turned out to be a ghost of a girl that died on a crash on the same road, here is the complete video:



Well... it is easy to say that is fake, because it is Viral Marketing of an Portuguese Short Film director (David Rebordão) and the film is called "A Curva".

Even if the viral marketing thing wasn't known, we were talking about the worlds most perfect and complete materialization of a ghost in all time. The author had the good idea of creating camera anomalies when filming the ghost girl, the only problem is that he seemed to forget that nowadays there are researches of ghost phenomenon that have strong background in electronics, PhD in Informatics and a good background of data compression, enough to laugh when seeing image anomalies that are only possible in analogic cameras mixed with anomalies only possible in digital cameras with image compression, on the same video!

But in general, if it was not so exaggerated, it would be a good fake, the story is a good one, the actors act normally, there is a kind of good excuse for the camera to be there, but, it is a fake.
