Ghost Cams, Spy Cams, Webcam Uses…
Live webcams have come a long way in the last few years and their uses are as wide as the imagination. Webcams have been used for crime spotting, pet-sitting, baby-minding and more. There is even a webcam focused on Loch Ness just in case “Nessie” makes an appearance. The Nessie webcam has a camera attached so that if the viewer sees something strange, they can capture it on record.
Hampton Court Palace has many tales of strange sightings and chilling experiences. On one occasion security guards spotted that fire doors were frequently opened and on checking their camera footage saw a figure in period dress stepping through.
BBC Lincolnshire has innovatively put their webcam to a new use. Whilst two of their webcams show live webcam views of their presenters on air, the third has been set up in what appears to be a derelict building. Or is it?
In the old Radion Buildings there have been spine-chilling tales of a pale apparition. The building is reputedly haunted by…..a ghostly ice-cream lady. Perhaps I should tell you that the building was once used as a cinema. If you have the nerve, you can checkout the ghost webcam for yourself. Rather than pay to have the webcam monitored, BBC Lincolnshire is hoping that listeners, or rather viewers, will spot evidence on the webcam and let them know.
A similar ghostcam is set up inside the Willard library in the US state of Indiana. Live webcams are monitoring the library in the children’s room, the basement and the reading room. So far the results are inconclusive, although the still photos are pretty spooky……
